Changes in spatial distribution of Croatian settlements in the federal state of Burgerland (Gradišće) from 1923 to 1991
Tomislav Jelić
Sažetak
This work analyzes the spatial distribution of Croatian settlements (settlements with minimum 5 percent of inhabitant using the Croatian language as the mother tongue) in the Federal state of Burgerland (Gradišće) in Austria from 1923 to 1991. The author has found out the decrease of the share of the Croats in the most Croatian settlements. The decrease of the number of the Croatian settlements was the strongest in the southern counties of Gradišće, especially in the Güssing (Novi Grad) amd Oberwart (Borta) county. There are two main causes for the decrease of the number of the Croatian settlements and the share of the Croats in the existing Croatian settlements: strong assimilation processes and emigration.
