Sažetak
The paper presents the results of the study of influences of demographic processes in the organization of primary education in the area of Split-Dalmatia County. Adverse processes in modern demographic development of Croatia contribute to the reduction of the total human potential as holders of socio-economic development. Complex consequences of these demographic processes among other things reflected in the spatial organization of certain central functions, one of which is in this paper focus on the educational function. By analysis of demographic dynamics and recent demographic structure of enrolment area primary schools Split-Dalmatia County were found implications for structural changes in the network of schools: number of schools and school size on the one hand and changes in the used state index and the straining coefficient of geography teachers on the other. Based on the size of the school as a variable, a enrolment areas typology of Split-Dalmatia County was made. By comparing the change in the student’s contingent of 2000/2001, 2010/2011 and 2013/2014 school year and the projection of the number of classes for the 2017/2018 school year were singled out catchment area of primary schools in which changes in number of classes is threatening the sustainability and rational organization of the network of primary schools. Reduction in the number of students will be reflected not only on the network of schools and the status of “parentage” but also on decrease of number of classes in subject teaching, and thus the utilization of human resources for geography, and other subjects. By analysis of spatial data and visualization of research results in GIS were singled out catchment areas in which the application of effective measures is necessary to support the sustainability and rational organization of educational functions and balanced regional development in the future.
