Digitization of the folk and public architecture in the Municipality of Crna Trava
Abstract. The general trend of rural-urban
migration of population and the resulting socio-economic
consequences have influenced that many villages in
Serbia remained with a small number, primarily elderly
inhabitants. One of the most endangered municipalities,
regarding population and negative growth of inhabitants,
is the municipality of Crna Trava. This paper presents
the results of the project "Forgotten Serbia - the last
years of villages in the municipality of Crna Trava".
The project aimed to explore, take and permanently
archive images of private and public buildings and rural
surroundings of villages of the municipality of Crna
Trava. The second part of the project was to categorize
and descript the digitalized objects, publish webpages
about the villages and measure responses and reactions
of web users.
Keywords: Serbia, Crna Trava, abandoned villages,

Digitalizacija tradicionalne arhitekture u selima opštine Crna Trava
Apstrakt. Opšti trend migracije stanovništva selo-grad i proistekle socio-ekonomske posledice uticali su da mnoga sela u Srbiji ostanu sa malim brojem, uglavnom starijih stanovnika. Crna Trava jedna je od najugroženijih opština po broju i negativnom priraštaju stanovnika. U ovom radu predstavljeni su rezultati projekta „Zaboravljena Srbija – poslednje godine sela u opštini Crna Trava“. Cilj projekta bio je da se istraže, snime i trajno arhiviraju fotografije privatnih i javnih objekata u crnotravskim selima. Drugi deo projekta bio je kategorizacija i opis digitalizovanih objekata, objavljivanje veb stranica o selima i merenje odgovora i reakcija korisnika veba.
Ključne reči: Srbija, Crna Trava, napuštena sela, narodna arhitektura, digitalizacija, kulturno nasleđe.
