Abstract
The paper treats contemporary demographic processes in the area of the Maritime-Mountain County (Primorsko-goranska županija). In this relatively small region opposite demographic development is found, that is to a great degree the out-come of natural-geographical and historical circumstances. The county consists of a mountain region, subject to depopulation, and an immigration area in the littoral, where the city of Rijeka is the most attractive area, and the Kvarner Islands, that after a long period of demographic recession are entering into a period of revitalisation. An important factor in the total population trend were migrations, that to a great degree determined natural demographic processes.
