The Physical and Demographic Evaluation of some Settlements in the Istrian County
Oleg Grgurević
Abstract
The author used the quantitative method to demographically evaluate settlements and found a correlation between demographic quality and potentials, and favourable geo-communications position. He classified the demographically evaluated settlements in the Istrian County quantitatively and superposed the results over the basic communications network in the county, obtaining a clear connection between good demographic quality and greater potentials with favourable geo-communications position. Since a properly defined settlements system is important for the overall development of an area, this paper is an attempt to contribute to research into the Istrian settlements system for use in planning the further development of this system.
