“…Fenomen marginalnosti posljednjih se dvadesetak godina proučava u okviru različitih znanstvenih disciplina: geografije, sociologije, ekonomije, poljoprivrede, ekologije; na različitim prostornim razinama: lokalnoj, područnoj, regionalnoj i globalnoj te korištenjem različitih kvantitativnih indikatora: demografskih, prostornih, socioekonomskih, političkih, povijesnih i ekoloških (Leimgruber, 1994;Pelc, 2006;Dery i dr., 2012;Zsilincsar, 2014). Marginalnost je multidimenzionalni fenomen i znanstvenici se slažu da ne postoji jednoznačna definicija pojma marginalnosti te je teško odrediti granice gdje, zašto i kako nastaje, zašto i kako nestaje te kako predvidjeti i spriječiti njezino nastajanje.…”

“…Prije više od tri desetljeća Leimgruber (1994) definira marginalne regije i zaključuje da je fenomen marginalnosti toliko širok pojam da ga je vrlo teško definirati na jednostavan i jasno odrediv način. Leimgruber ističe četiri moguća temeljna pristupa: geometrijski, ekološki, ekonomski i socijalni.…”

“…The phenomenon of marginality has been studied within the scope of various scientific disciplines in the last twenty years: geography, sociology, economics, agriculture, ecology, as well as at different spatial levels: local, territorial, regional and global. Additionally, various quantitative indicators have been used: demographic, spatial, socioeconomic, political, historical and ecological (Leimgruber, 1994;Pelc, 2006;Dery et al, 2012;Zsilincsar, 2014). Marginality is a multidimensional phenomenon and there is no universally agreed upon definition of marginality.…”

“…More than three decades ago, Leimgruber (1994) defined marginal regions and concluded that the phenomenon of marginality is such a broad concept that it is very difficult to define it in a simple and clearly-defined way. Leimgruber points out four possible fundamental approaches: geometric, ecological, economic and social.…”

The research topic is geographical marginality, and the main aim of the research is to develop a methodology for identifying, analyzing and determining marginal areas of Međimurje on the spatial level of settlement. Exploratory factor analysis was used in the research via GIS methods. The 30 selected variables were used for exploratory factor analysis. The suitability of the variables was tested using the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test and Bartlett’s test. Free, open source R, JASP and QGIS software were used. In the analysis, six factors were identified, by which the characteristic types of settlements in Međimurje were identified: 1) Spatial concentration and economic dynamics; 2) Demographic dynamics and population aging; 3) Education and economic diversification; 4) Availability of central functions; 5) Traditional extensive agricultural production; and 6) Stationary work contingent focused on primary activities. Based on the factor scores, a Međimurje index of marginalization of settlements (MIMaNa) was calculated. Based on this index, the degree of geographical marginality of settlements in Međimurje was determined.
