Andautonia
Andautonia was a Roman settlement located on the southern bank of the river Sava, located in the modern-day village of Šćitarjevo, southeast of the city of Zagreb, Croatia. Andautonia was located in the Roman province of Pannonia, on the Roman road connecting Poetovia and Siscia (modern-day towns of Ptuj and Sisak). According to the 19th-century Croatian archaeologist Šime Ljubić, the toponym Andautonia () was mentioned by the ancient geographer Ptolemy in his 2nd-century work ''Geography'', who placed it, perhaps inaccurately, between the settlements of Bononia and Novidunum (present-day Banoštor in northern Serbia and Krško in Slovenia). The only other mention of the same settlement was found in the Antonine Itinerary, believed to date from the early 3rd century, which refers to the place as Dautonia.

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 ...
