INSTITUTE FOR RURAL STUDIES OF THE SERBIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES: 1947–1954

Summary/Abstract: The SAS Institute for the Rural Studies, within the Department of Social Sciences, was founded on June 10, 1947, with the appointment of Sreten Vukosavljević, a professor at the Faculty of Law in Belgrade, as its manager. The basic task of the Institute was to study the development of social life in the countryside, the existence and development of land ownership, the organization of the village as a settlement, the organization of the family settlement, the evolution of the organization of agricultural and other works; consanguinity, birth rate and sexual morality; forms of behavior; religious life and the religious world, helping each other, leisure and entertainment, health and consciousness, etc. Due to the lack of sufficient staff, especially professional staff, and then the opposition of the Institute’s most influential associates to the demands of the manager Sreten Vukosavljević, the Institute was slow to realize the set goals and tasks, which ultimately resulted in the resignation of Sreten Vukosavljević, and then the closure of the Institute on March 1, 1954.
