Abstract

Istraživanje se bavi proučavanjem procesa odlučivanja o gospodarenju otpadom na primjeru Varaždina kako bi se na jedan strukturiran način prikazalo kako je tekao jedan takav proces i kako bi se otkrilo što je utjecalo na odluke. Odabran je upravo Varaždin jer se već godinama suočava s problemom baliranog otpada na samom ulazu u grad, a koji guši i negativno utječe na sam politički i društveni život. Tako je provedeno kvalitativno istraživanje te su korištene dvije metode prikupljanja podataka, a kao teorijski okvir korištena je teorija Johna Kingdona. Najprije se istražila dostupna građa, članci i dokumenti, a zatim su se provodili intervjui kako bi se dobili uvidi onih koji su u cijeli proces bili uključeni ili su ga pratili. Tako se došlo do zaključka da je proces odlučivanja jedan vrlo kompliciran proces u kojem djeluju različiti akteri u kombinaciji s faktorima. Na te aktere potom djeluju određeni motivi, interesi i pritisci pa se prema tome i donose odluke. Što se tiče samog Varaždina, uočeno je da je glavni motiv bio osobni interes te posljedice prošlih odluka, a teško je donijeti bilo kakvo rješenje jer se sve provlači po sudovima već deset godina. Prema tome, ovaj rad želi pružiti jedan pogled koji će rekonstruirati cijeli proces odlučivanja.

Abstract (english)

The research analyses the decision process regarding the waste management on the example of the city of Varaždin, in order to exemplify the flow of such processes in an orderly manner and to detect the influences on their decisions. Varaždin was chosen because it has been dealing with bundled waste disposal in the near vicinity of its entrance, the effect of which is stifling and diminishing its political and social life. Hence, a qualitative research has been conducted and two data collection methods were used to gather information, with John Kingdon’s theory serving as the theoretical framework. Firstly, the available corpora, articles and documents were referenced, followed by interviews in order to get the insights of those involved in the process. Thus, it was concluded that the decision making process is very complicated and is dependant upon many actors, which are influenced and pressured by certain motives, interests and external factors into making corresponding decisions. Regarding Varaždin itself, it has been noticed that the main influences were personal interests and consequences of previous decisions. It is hard to find any kind of solution, as the whole process has been dragged out in courts for the past ten years. Therefore, the paper aims to provide an insight which is going to reconstruct the whole decision making process.
