Setting the borderline between the urban and the rural in the Slovene March between 1765 and 1924Kerec, Darja (Avtor) Slovene March – Slovenska krajinaMurska SobotacitycountrysideinfrastructureurbanThis article uses select examples of urban development to present the centuries-long development of Murska Sobota, which was the central spot in the so-called Slovene March (the upper part of the Prekmurje region). From the Middle Ages to the first planned changes to the administration, economy, infrastructure and very structure of the town in the 18th century, Murska Sobota held the status of a borough (oppidum), but in the following decades gained the title of a rural town. A somewhat neglectful attitude of the Hungarian national (and local) authority was also reflected in the subsequent attitude and treatment in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes; was Murska Sobota a town in the classic sense of the word or merely a partly urbanised settlement? Media reports on the Slovene March were not always appropriate or were derived from stereotypical notions, which dragged on into the post-independence period.20172018-01-09 03:14:57Članek v reviji99220UDK: 94(497.4)"1765/1924"ISSN pri članku: 1318-0185DOI: 10.19233/AH.2017.26COBISS_ID: 11886409slPodatek o licenci CC BY-NC 4.0 je naveden na pristajalni strani članka (glej zgoraj izvorni URL).
