| Summary: | Factor analysis was used as a method for determining the types of agriculture
in Serbia, which resulted in the synthesised and comprehensive data
presented in the study. The subjectivity inherent in this method is
mitigated by relevant statistical facts that clearly guide the course of
factor analysis from the selection of parameters through rotation to the
final results. Agricultural types were identified based on the development
of specific factors and the administrative districts in which these factors
dominate compared to others. It should be noted that the results obtained in
this study cannot be considered relevant for further research, as the method
of factor analysis proved to be inadequate for the small num-ber of input
parameters and large spatial units such as administrative districts. |
