The course provides a theoretical, methodological, and empirical insight into the organization of space and society through the prism of administrative-territorial organizations and models of statehood. Through an interdisciplinary approach, students analyze the fundamental identity forms of the state, with special emphasis on the specifics of Croatian statehood, as well as contemporary global and regional influences on state structure. Emphasis is placed on the role of the total population, including both domestic and emigrant populations, as a key factor of survival and development within a new concept of the state. Through comparative analysis of existing models (such as Ireland and Israel), students explore concepts of spatial control, demographic conditioning, and strategic partnership. The course trains students to apply standard research methods, cartographic techniques, and GIS tools in the analysis of state contents. Through independent research work, students acquire skills to identify and forecast future social, economic, and spatial processes in the function of long-term sustainability and development of the Republic of Croatia.

3. To independently develop and present a research proposal, professional study, or report in the field of spatial, social, and economic state planning.
4. To formulate development demographic projections and predict future trends for the purpose of spatial and social organization of the total Croatian population.
