| Abstract | Strategija Europa 2020. usmjerila je države članice, regije i gradove prema potrebi
ostvarivanja pametnog, uključivog i održivog rasta. Potaknuti brojnim problemima
nezaposlenosti, siromaštva, socijalne isključenosti, gradovi se usmjeravaju prema
konceptu uključivog rasta koji je nerijetko u suprotnosti s ekonomskim rastom grada.
Cilj rada je nakon pojašnjenja koncepta uključivosti, analizirati odrednice i primjere
uključivih gradova. Ono što gradove čini uključivima upravo je otkrivanje problemskih
područja unutar grada koji dovode do istaknutih problema te pronalaženje mogućih
rješenja i jednakih mogućnosti za sve stanovnike. Gradovi nastoje ostvariti uključivost
na način da socijalno ranjive osobe uključuju u programe pomoći kako bi im osigurali
kvalitetne usluge, provode mjere za razvoj socijalne ekonomije kroz socijalne
inovacije, potiču zapošljavanje i bolju participaciju građana. Uključivi gradovi sredstva
iz svojih proračuna ulažu u potporu i usluge djeci predškolske i školske dobi te
studentima, potpore korisnicima mirovina, beskućnicima kao i financiranje stambenih
potreba siromašnijih građana s ciljem zastupanja najboljeg interesa stanovnika, a
posebno interesa socijalno najosjetljivijih skupina. Iako nijedan grad nije u potpunosti
uključiv, analizirani hrvatski gradovi Zagreb i Rijeka najrazvijeniji su hrvatski gradovi
te spadaju među deset najugodnijih gradova za život u Hrvatskoj i prema
odrednicama uključivosti mogu se istaknuti kao pozitivni primjeri. Njihova promocija
kao uključivih gradova govori o nastojanju prema ostvarivanju više razine kvalitete
života, pri čemu je potrebno i dalje djelovati u okvirima uključivog rasta za sve
stanovnike. |
| Abstract (english) | EU member states, regions and cities has been directed towards achieving smart,
inclusive and sustainable growth as defined in the Europe 2020 Strategy. Motivated
with numerous problems of unemployment, poverty, social exclusion, cities try to
become inclusive which is seldom in contrast with urban economic growth. The aim
of this thesis is to define the concept of inclusive growth and inclusive cities, as well
as its determinants and to present the examples of inclusive cities. Inclusive cities try
to identify problem areas which cause the mentioned urban problems, as well as to
find possible solutions and assure equal opportunities for all citizens. They help and
include socially vulnerable people in social assistance programs in order to get them
access to quality services, implement measures to develop social economy sector
through social innovations, stimulate employment and better participation of citizens.
Their budgetary resources are invested in the support and services for pre-school
and school children, as well as for students, retired and homeless people.
Furthermore, the budget is also intended to finance residential needs of poorer
citizens so that residents' best interests are represented, especially the interests of
the most vulnerable social groups. Even though cities are not completely inclusive,
the analyzed Croatian cities Zagreb and Rijeka represent one of the most developed
cities, they are among the ten most comfortable cities to live in, while according to the
determinants of inclusive cities they can be highlighted as examples of good practice.
Their self-promotion as inclusive cities demonstrates also their efforts to further
improve the quality of the citizens’ lives, where it is necessary to operate in the
framework of inclusive growth for all. |
