SUMMARY: FUNDAMENTAL GEOGRAPHICAL AND SPATIAL-PLANNING PROBLEMS OF ŽUMBERAK.
Žumberak is small and marginal region of Central Croatia. The historicogeographical backgraund differs it form the surrounding regional units as a result of the long period of incorporation of Žumberak in the Military Border in Croatia.
That period left clear traces on the characteristics of the area's mode of settlement on the growth and structure of the population, on the agricultural landscape, on the economic development and communications.
The existing administrative division of the area into segments of there communes has no foundation in geographical reality. The demographic, economic and general perspectives in all there parts are unfavourable, so spatial-planning solutions for fhat underdeveloped,mountainous and depopulated region must involve the whole area through a unique concept.
