Abstract
The paper deals with the population dynamics and basic population structure of the town of Metković and its surroundings in the 1948-2001 period. The area is populated mainly in the 18th century. From that time onwards, population is steadly growing and showing signs of vitality. Besides having a positive natural growth, the area s population is increasing by immigration, although the immigration is centered to Metković, whereas the rural karst sorrunding has a negative migration value. Labour force works mainly in services (sectors III and IV), although for about half of the total population agriculture is a side activity.
