Genesis and development of Gadžin Han

Abstract

During many centuries of it's settlements evolution, Gadžin Han went through many demographic, morph-physiognomic and functional changes. The development of Gadžin Han can be divided into three main phases: rural (from the first settlers to the liberation from the Turks), combined (from 1878. to the beginning of 60s of the 20lh century) and initial urban phase (from the beginning of 60s of the 20th century till today). There is a difference between them in: durability, socio-economical characteristics crucial for development of settlement and important of spatial-functionally connecting between Gadžin Han, as a gravitational node, and surrounding settlements.

Tokom viševekovnog razvitka Gadžinog Hana došlo je do mnogobrojnih promena demografskih, morfo-fizionomskih i funkcionalnih karakteristika naselja. U dosadašnjem razvoju možemo izdvojiti tri glavne faze: ruralnu (od osnivanja naselja do oslobođenja od Turaka), prelaznu ili mešovitu (od 1878. do početka 60-ih godina XX veka) i inicijalnu urbanu naseobinsku fazu (od početka 60-ih godina XX veka do naših dana). One se razlikuju po vremenu trajanja, društveno-ekonomskim uslovima bitnim za razvoj nasela i značaju prostorno-funkcionalnog povezivanja Gadžinog Hana, kao gravitacionog središta, sa naseljima u okruženju.
