Transformation of agriculture in municipality of Vrhnika 1941–1951

Diplomska naloga oriše preobrazbo kmetijstva v letih 1941 – 1951, ki jo obravnava po treh obdobjih: predvojnim, medvojnim in povojnim obdobjem ter izpostavlja demografsko, socialno in prostorsko preobrazbo kmetijstva. Predvojno obdobje razvoja, ki je temeljil na mlečni živinoreji, pridelavi in predelavi mleka v vrhniški mlekarni, ki je bila ena izmed uspešnejših v Dravski banovini, je prekinila totalnost druge svetovne vojne. Ta je poleg vojnih dogodkov na kmetijstvo vplivala tudi kot usoden sistemski preobrat. Povojne spremembe gospodarskega in družbenega sistema so narekovale hitro industrializacijo, ki je zajela tudi Vrhniko z nadgradnjo obstoječih industrijskih obratov. Ta je vplivala na agrarno periferijo, kjer se je začelo tradicionalno kmetijstvo spreminjati ali opuščati. Na preobrazbo kmetijstva so vplivale splošne gospodarske in družbene spremembe, pa tudi lokalne izjeme, predvojno razvoj pa je ključno vplival še na stanje povojnega kmetijstva. Ključni procesi, ki so bili izraženi v tem času je bila naglo priseljevanje iz podeželskega dela občine na Vrhniko, zmanjševanje deleža kmečkega prebivalstva in sprememba rabe tal – večja pozidava, opuščanje kmetijske rabe in zaraščanje kmetijskih zemljišč.The diploma thesis outlines the transformation of agriculture in the years from 1941 to 1951. It addresses it in three periods: pre-war, inter-war and post-war period and highlights the demographic, social and spatial transformation of agriculture. The pre-war period of development, which was based on dairy farming, production and processing of milk at the Vrhnika dairy, which was one of the most successful in the Drava banovina, was interrupted by the totality of the Second World War. Beside events of the war, it also affected agriculture as a fatal systemic change. Post-war changes in the economic and social system dictated rapid industrialization, which also included Vrhnika with upgrading of existing industrial plants. This affected the agrarian periphery, where traditional agriculture began to change or was abandon. The transformation of agriculture was influenced by general economic and social changes, as well as local exceptions. Pre-war development also had a key impact on the state of post-war agriculture. The key processes that were expressed during this time were the rapid immigration from the rural part of the municipality to Vrhnika, the reduction of the country population and change in land usage – more building, abandonment of agricultural usage and forestation of agricultural land
