ANALIZA ANTROPOMETRIJSKIH IZMJERA ZA OBUCARSKU INDUSTRIJU

The paper describes the significance of anthropometric measurements with special reference to footwear. The problems with regard to the outdated system which has been used for more than 40 years are stressed. For this reason a compound technological research project under the title "Croatian Anthropometric System" was launched. Within the scope of this project a national measurement of the population of the Republic of Croatia has been performed in order to make the final projection of a new Croatian standard of garment and footwear sizes. The paper emphasizes the significance and results of these anthropometric measurements. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
