Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to analyze the interrelationship between the observed demographic trends, i.e. processes and established changes in the landscape of the Ludbrg region, by applying an integrated model of land cover/land use changes. In doing so, an integrated model of land use and cover change change was used, which consists of spatial databases related to census data and the landscape of the Ludbreg region, as well as appropriate spatial analysis (e.g. the Standard Deviational Ellipse - Directional Distribution Spatial Analysis Method). In this research, the landscape was observed through the concept of land cover/land use method (LULC), and for this purpose, data from the Corine Land Cover Database from 1980 and 2018 (CLC 1980 and CLC 2018) were used, while demographic trends, that is, the processes established using census data of the CBS that refer to the total number of inhabitants. The results related to the demographic trend showed that there is depopulation, urbanization, deruralization and the spatial polarization of the movement of the total number of inhabitants was established. At the same time, the population is concentrated in the central area, closer to the town of Ludbreg, with the simultaneous emptying of the peripheral area. The results related to landscape change showed that in the observed period there was an increase in Built-up areas (0.7%), Exploitable areas (0.2%) and Water areas (2.5%), while there was a decrease in Agricultural areas ( -0.6 %), Forest land (-1.1 %), Forest succession (-0.3 %), Wet land (-0.1 %) and Sandy land (-0.6 %). Given that common features with village/rural areas of Central and Eastern Europe were only partially established after the collapse of socialism, the application of the integration model enabled a better understanding of the interrelationship of land cover change/land use methods and observed demographic trends, i.e. demographic processes of the Ludbreg region.
