Razvoj i suvremena preobrazba krajolika naselja Danilskog polja kod Šibenika
Development and contemporary transformation of landscape of Danilsko polje settlements near Šibenik

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses development and transformation of the landscape influenced by contemporary modernization in three settlements of the Šibenik hinterland – Danilo Biranj, Danilo and Danilo Kraljice. At first, basic demographic features were analyzed that show gradual population decline and abandonment of agriculture in the second half of 20th century. Afterwards, the development and transformation of settlements affected by the construction of basic communal infrastructure and other objects was examined. The second segment of the transformation that is related to changes in the use of agricultural land was researched according to data from four periods; half of the 19th century, early and mid-20th century, and the beginning of the 21st century. Analysis showed that the land was most intensively used in the first half of the 20th century and the least intensively at the beginning of the 21st century. Conclusively, the current landscape of Danilsko polje settlements is mostly rural landscape with a sub-sample of the agrarian landscape and a smaller number of technical (industrial) landscape samples.
