About

I am geographer and I work as an assistant professor. I have 9 years of experience working as a geography teacher at various elementary and secondary schools. Since 2009 I have been working at the faculty (received PhD 2014). I deal mainly with transportation geography and I am particularly interested in social aspects of transportation. I teach several subjects, e.g. Transportation geography, Computer assisted statistical analysis, City in the regional planning. I have been involved in several scientific projects, e.g. Urban systems in spatial development of Croatia, Sinergy, CH4LLENGE. I have also been involved in several COST Actions.

Research interests

transport based social exclusionaccess to servicesspatial differences in social exclusionvirtual mobility and social exclusionSince I am transportation geographer (my PhD was about transport disadvantage and social exclusion) I would like to investigate transport aspect of social exclusion (i.e. transport based social exclusion) and its impact on everyday life of youth people. Thereforetopics e.g. transport systemavailability of transportpublic transport (e.g. frequencyavailabilityaccessibilityaffordability )safety in transportationfinancialsforced car ownershipmobilityphysical barriers etc. would be point of interest. I would also like to investigate impact of transport based social exclusion on access to services and exclusion from key activities. I am interested to research urban-semiurban/semirural-rural differences in social exclusion of youth people (from transportation point of view). I am also interested into impact of exclusion from ICT usage on everyday life of young people.
