Abstract
The author examines the spatial distribution of emigrant contingents as received from the population census us of 1991, and according to the new territorial administration of Croatia (487 municipalities and cities). The main quantitative indicator is the so-called migration rate, which shows the number of emigrants ("workers" and "family members") per 100 permanent residents. The maps present the general migration rates for all foreign countries (fig. 1), as well as the specific rates for Germany (fig. 2), other European countries (fig. 3), Canada and the USA (fig. 4) and Australia (fig. 5). The data is given in four groups relating to the numeric intensity of the phenomenon, i.e. four groups of migration rates: weak (coloured white in the maps), medium (grey), strong (vertical black lines), very strong (black) and in regard to the specific migration rates for individual countries/regions, cased are noted where the phenomena does not occur (marked as X). The analytic mapping clearly illustrates a strong spatial variability of external migration from the Republic of Croatia.
