This statistical survey is conducted every three years. The previous survey was conducted for the season 2004/2005.

 

Coverage and comparability

 

Statistical survey covers all independent technical culture associations, communities and federations or sections, which are part of other legal entities in the Republic of Croatia. Data are comparable to the data collected in the survey for the season 2004/2005.

 

Definitions and explanations

 

Technical culture associations are independent associations (clubs/societies) organized as free gatherings of citizens with the aim of expressing their own creative and cognitive interests without earning money; sections engaged in certain branches of technical culture that work as parts of other associations, institutions or legal entities; municipal, city-, county-, and national professional associations and technical culture associations.  

 

Activity of technical culture associations includes: education and training with the aim of acquiring technical, technological and IT knowledge and skills, inventive work and spreading of scientific and technological accomplishments, especially for the young.

 

Association’s activity includes courses, schools, camps, workshops, lectures, competitions, field day, gatherings, exhibitions, revues, festivals etc.

 

Expert staff consists of professional activity leaders, teachers, instructors, coaches, doctors and other staff performing expert jobs irrespective of whether they perform them on voluntary basis or for payment.
