Abstract

Tekstilna industrija je kroz povijest imala značajnu ulogu u hrvatskom gospodarstvu, no u posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća tradicionalne industrije doživjele su značajan pad. Jedna od dugotrajnih posljedica pada tekstilne industrije u Hrvatskoj je pojava viška vune na tržištu. Uz smanjenu prisutnost tekstilne industrije, potražnja za vunom se smanjila, što je dovelo do viška ponude. Kao rezultat toga, javlja se potreba za novim razvojnim metodama koje osnažuju lokalne aktere i potiču održive prakse endogenog razvoja. Ovaj rad istražuje mogućnosti za endogeni ruralni razvoj, fokusirajući se na vunu kao resurs koji je ranije bio zanemaren. Vuna, koja je dugo smatrana otpadom, predstavlja priliku za gospodarski oporavak i inovacije. Kroz rad se analiziraju intervjui s poduzetnicama u Hrvatskoj koje su pokrenule vlastite projekte u vezi s preradom i korištenjem vune, istražujući njihovu motivaciju, izazove i mogućnosti koje su prepoznale u korištenju ovog prirodnog resursa.

Abstract (english)

The textile industry has historically played a significant role in the Croatian economy, but in recent decades, traditional industries have experienced a substantial decline. One of the long- term consequences of the decline of the textile industry in Croatia is the surplus of wool on the market. With the reduced presence of the textile industry, the demand for wool has decreased, leading to an excess supply. As a result, there is a need for new development methods that empower local actors and promote sustainable practices of endogenous development. This paper explores the possibilities for endogenous rural development, focusing on wool as a previously neglected resource. Wool, which has long been considered waste, now represents an opportunity for economic recovery and innovation. The paper analyses interviews with female entrepreneurs in Croatia who have launched their own projects related to wool processing and utilization, examining their motivations, challenges, and the opportunities they have identified in using this natural resource.
