Reconstruction of Village Brezovac Žumberački Destroyed by Fire in 1937/1938

Graditeljsku obnovu izgorjeloga sela Brezovac Žumberački od 1937./38. organizirala je Kraljevska banska uprava Savske banovine. Analiza obnove rađena je na temelju skupljenih podataka iz različitih izvora: novinskih članaka, obilaska terena, katastarske i geodetske podloge i iskaza seljaka. Obnova sela Brezovac Žumberački stavljena je u kontekst društvenih prilika koje su vladale na selu između dva svjetska rata u Hrvatskoj te je uspoređivana s poznatim primjerima planiranih graditeljskih obnova izgorjelih sela (Donji Kraljevec i Kolarec). Obnova sela Brezovca Žumberačkog predstavlja jedinstven primjer planirane graditeljske obnove planinskoga sela u Hrvatskoj.The reconstruction of the village Brezovac Žumberački destroyed in fire was undertaken by the Royal Administration of Savska banovina in 1937/38. The analysis of the reconstruction is based on the data collected from various sources: newspaper articles, site visits, cadastar plans, geodetic surveys and villagers\u27 accounts. The reconstruction process is viewed in the context of the social circumstances in rural Croatia between the two World Wars and is compared with the well-known examples of the villages destroyed by fire and later reconstructed (Donji Kraljevec and Kolarec). The mountain village Brezovac Žumberački is a unique example of planned reconstruction in Croatia
