Sažetak
The aim of this work is to investigate the interrelationships between contemporary demographic trends and the development of the functions of the landscape of Central Lika. The landscape, i.e. the functions of the landscape, were observed in this research through the concept of land use/land cover method (LULC). For this purpose, the land use/land cover data for the observed years (1980 and 2018) was analysed using data from the CLC database, i.e. the CORINE Land Cover database obtained from the Croatian Agency for the Environment and Nature (HAOP). Census data for the period 1981 − 2021 was obtained from the Croatian Bureau of Statistics. In the analysis of interrelationships, linear regression analysis was applied in this research using the computer program IBM SPSS Statistics version 20. The results of the linear regression analysis showed that there is a connection between almost all the observed variables. Given that the values obtained in the second time unit (2018, 2021) are slightly reduced compared to the values obtained in the first time unit (1980, 1981), it can be concluded that the development of some observed functions of the landscape (function of work and housing and the function of farming) is increasingly weakly linked to demographic movement. Thereby, in the observed period in the area of Central Lika, the decrease in the representation of the function of farming is less and less related to the movement of the number of residents. Likewise, the increase in the representation of the function of work and residence is less and less related to the movement of the number of residents. The obtained results provide a better insight into the complexity of human-nature interaction, which is of great importance, among other things, in spatial planning.
