Present-Day Demogeographical Processes in the Dinaric Mountain Territory of Croatia

Analizirana je i ustanovljena vrlo visoka korelacija iymeđu skromne prirodno-geografske osnove, kretanja stanovništva i naseljenosti tog dijela zemlje. Brze društveno-ekonomske promjene utjecale su na egzodus planinskog područja koja će, nastavi li proces kakav je bio 1971-1981, ostati bez ruralnog stanovništva do 2040-ih godina, a u planinskom dijelu SR Hrvatske do 2020-ih godina.A very high correlation between the meagre natural geographic situation, movement of inhabitants and population density has been established. The fast socio-economic changes in the country were reflected in a population exodus from the Dinaric mountain territory of Yugoslavia, and particularly its Croatian part. The process has accelerated in recent times (1971-1981), and if it continues the mountainous region of Croatia will be left without its rural population by the year 2020
