In 2020, the dwelling stock decreased by 466 dwellings. Dwellings were excluded from the dwelling stock for the following reasons: building of new constructions (90.3%), dilapidation and other causes (6.4%), conversion into a non-residential area or merging of two or more dwellings into one (2.4%) and illegal construction (0.9%).

The average size of useful floor area in those dwellings was 84.6 m2. Out of the total number of dwellings, 62.4% had two or three rooms.

By the level of equipment with installations and accessory spaces within a dwelling, all of them had electricity, a kitchen, a water supply system, a sewage system and a toilet and 86.3% had a bathroom.

NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

Sources and methods of data collection

Data on construction are presented, which are collected through reporting method by applying the Annual Report on Demolished Building Containing Dwellings and on Conversion into Non-Residential Area (GRAĐ-71 form).

Coverage and comparability

The Annual Report on Demolished Buildings Containing Dwellings and on Conversion into Non-Residential Area is collected from the administration bodies competent for construction affairs in major cities, the City of Zagreb and counties as well as from the State Directorate – Building Inspection Sector on the basis of the following documents:

- Project for demolition of buildings;

- Building permit by which the demolition of previously constructed building (with one or more dwellings) is planned in order to build a substitute building;

- Reconstruction licenses for the conversion of existing residential areas into non-residential ones or for merging of two or more dwellings into one;

- Decisions of the building inspection by which investors or owners are ordered to demolish constructed buildings with one or more dwellings;

- Other documents related to the demolition of buildings with dwellings (e.g., demolition because of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, fire and other).           

The report is filled in only for an entirely demolished building containing one or more completed dwellings. Consequently, damaged buildings intended for repairing and buildings without any completed dwelling are not included.

Definitions 

Buildings are permanent constructions covered with roof and closed with outer walls. They are built as separate useful units that protect from weather and other external conditions and intended for dwelling, performing a certain activity or placing and upkeeping of animals, goods, equipment used in various industrial activities and services etc.

Dwelling is a residential construction unit consisting of one or more rooms and with accessory spaces (kitchen, pantry, bathroom, toilet, etc.) or without accessory spaces and with one more separate entrance from the staircase or directly from the street or yard.

Useful floor area (m2) is the floor surface of a dwelling measured inside the dwelling walls.

Dwelling has an installation for water supply when at least one room in the dwelling has water pipes, no matter whether or not they are connected to the public water supply system or private facilities.

Dwelling has an installation for sewage when at least one room in the dwelling has waste pipe, leading outside the building, no matter whether or not they are connected to the public sewage disposal plant or private facility for waste water (septic tank, cesspool etc.) or waste water is emptied directly to the environment (an open ditch, a river, a pit, a sea).

Dwelling has a toilet when toilet facility is in a separate room or in a bathroom inside the dwelling.

Dwelling has a bathroom when bath or shower is in a separate room inside the dwelling and in which water supply and waste pipe are installed.
