Bibliographic Researches in Sociologija sela (Rural Sociology) quarterly: 1963-2002

Autorica u ovom radu analizira ulogu časopisa Sociologija sela u bibliografskim istraživanjima o selu i poljoprivredi, koja u Hrvatskoj imaju dugu tradiciju. Naime, bibliografska su istraživanja počela paralelno sa znanstvenim istraživanjima sela i poljoprivrede ranih šezdesetih godina 20. stoljeća, s osnutkom Agrarnog instituta u Zagrebu 0960.) te pokretanjem časopisa Sociologije sela 1963. godine, i s neznatnim odstupanjima traju sve do danas. O društveno-ekonomskim promjenama i procesima u seoskom prostoru u ta četiri desetljeća objavljeno je više od pedesetak raznih bibliografija od čega 29 ili više od polovice u časopisu Sociologija sela. Sve su one »pionirske« za obrađena područja, znatna ih većina čini temeljite baze podataka, a najčešće su ih radili sami znanstvenici-bibliografi (pretežito u Institutu za društvena istraživanja Sveučilišta u Zagrebu) kao sondažu istraživanjima ili na kraju istraživanja. Časopis je tome poklanjao stalnu pozornost i poticao bibliografsku obradu svakog iole temeljitije istraženog problema. S obzirom da su bibliografije pokazatelji obrađenosti znanstvenih područja te polazišta i pretpostavke znanstvenoistraživačkom radu, autorica zaključuje da je takvo djelovanje časopisa Sociologija sela bilo ključan uvjet razvoju ruralnosociologijskih, agrarnoekonomskih i srodnih interdisciplinarnih istraživanja sela i agrara u Hrvatskoj i bivšoj Jugoslaviji. Korelaciju bibliografskih istraživanja i teorijskih i empirijskih istraživanja potvrdila je cjelovitim pregledom objavljenih bibliografija, njihove tematske strukture i drugih značajki.In this paper the author analyses the role that Sociologija sela (Rural Sociology) quarterly has played in bibliographic researches into village and agriculture which have long tradition in Croatia. Namely, bibliographic researches began in parallei with scientific researches into village and agriculture in the early 1960s when the Institute of Agriculture in Zagreb was founded (960) and the Sociologija sela periodical started in 1963 and - with minor aberrations - they have been carried out ever since. During the period of four decades, more than fifty different bibliographies on social-economic changes and processes were published 29 of which - or more than a half - in the Sociologija sela quarterly. All of them were »pioneering« ones in the area they treated, most of them make thorough data bases, and most often they were made by the scientists-bibliographers themselves (mainly in the Institute for Social Research of the University of Zagreb) either as the sondage of their researches or at the end of the researches. The magazine has constantly paid attention to it and has always encouraged bibliographic elaboration of each problem that was even a little more thoroughly researched. Since the bibliographies are the indicators of the extent of elaboration of a scientific area and the starting points and the prerequisite of the scientific research work, the author concludes that this part of the Sociologija sela journal\u27s activity was a cruciai condition for the development of the rural-sociological, agrarian-economic and congenial interdisciplinary researches of the village and agriculture in Croatia and former Yugoslavia. The integrated account of published bibliographies, the ir thematic structure and other characteristics proves the co-rei ati on between the bibliographic researches and the theoretical and empiric ones
