Abstract

This paper analyzes the major demographic changes in the Town of Sinj in the second half of the 20th century. In comparison to many other parts of Croatia, particularly in Dalmatinska zagora, the Town of Sinj, in total, was not seriously affected by depopulation in the second half of the 20th century. The aim of this paper is to determine dominant demographic trends in all 14 settlements within the Town of Sinj by using several demographic indicators, and indicate which settlements are threatened by extinction and which have good prospects for further development.
