Buševec
Buševec is the name of a Croatian village that falls under the administration of the town of Velika Gorica. It is placed at the Turopolje area at the highway between Zagreb and Sisak. The village has 886 inhabitants (2011 census), and its postal code is 10417. History Situated near the border to the Ottoman Empire, Buševec suffered during the 16th century a high number of Turkish attacks which reduced the number of inhabitants significantly. The name "Buševec" very likely came from a kin named Buševec whose members were all killed or abducted into slavery by the Turks. In the 17th century new "pleme", i.e. kin, settled in Buševec, most of them living there until today. In 1768 a little wooden chapel (church of the holy Apostle) was built that was the center of the religious life in Buševec until a new church was built at the beginning of the new millennium.

Naselje
Settlements in Croatia, in Croatian ''naselje'' ( pl. ''naselja'') are the third-level spatial division of the country, and usually indicate existing or former human settlement. Each Croatian city or town (''grad'', pl. ''gradovi'') or municipality (''općina'', pl. ''općine'') consists of one or more settlements. A settlement can be part of only one second-level spatial division, whose territory is the sum of exclusive settlement territories. Settlements are not necessarily incorporated places, as second-level local authorities (towns and municipalities), known as ''jedinice lokalne samouprave'', delegate some of their functions to so-called ''jedinice mjesne samouprave'' (''gradski kotar'', ''gradska četvrt'', or ''područje mjesnog odbora''). The Croatian Bureau of Statistics publishes their decennial census data on the basis of official settlement (naselje) data from the Register of Spatial Units by the State Geodetic Administration. , there are 6 757 settlements in ...

In 1924, the bureau was renamed to the ''Statistical Office in Zagreb'' (''Statistički ured u Zagrebu''). In 1929, after royal monarchy was proclaimed in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes the bureau lost its financial and technical independence. In 1939 with the formation of the Banovina of Croatia, the office was made subject to the presidential office on the Ban's administration. In 1941 the Independent State of Croatia was formed and an ''Office of General State Statistics'' existed during this time under the control of the presidential government. In 1945 the ''Statistical Office of the People's Republic of Croatia'' was formed. In 1951 it was renamed to the ''Bureau of Statistics and Evidence'', in 1956 to the ''Bureau of Statis ...
