FACTORS OF SPACIAL ORGANIZATION OF CULTURAL ACTIVITIES: THE EXAMPLE OF CROATIA

Summary/Abstract: This article develops those tendencies in cultural geography which look upon elements of space as representatives of socio-cultural processes and phenomena. The main thesis is that the historical, social, geographical and other factors influencing spacial arrangement of institutions (in this case cultural institutions) are represented and recognized in a network of these institutions. Factors influencing the spacial organization of cultural activities are brought into relation in this article with their representatives (i.e. the results of their activity) in a network of cultural institutions. Three groups of factors have an impact on the development of cultural infrastructure: macrosocial factors, microsocial factors and elements of the geographical environment. Macrosocial factors – in the first place the institution of politics, and in some periods also the institution of religion as well as economic and technological prospects of the society – influence the establishment of cultural institutions and some of their varieties.
