Abstract
The objective of this article is to propose a definition and typology of population circulation that can be applied to the Yugoslav socio-economic system. Circulation includes all regular, occasional and seasonal population movements. Regular circulation is also called commuting. The most important criteria for differentiating daily, weekly and longer-interval commuting are the following: 1. geographical location of the commuter's household regarding the place of work (urban, suburban and external commuters); 2. origin of the commuter with respect to his/her place of current permanent residence (autochthonous and allochthonous commuters) and 3. (non)engagement in part-time farming (peasantworker and “pure” worker commuters). It is virtually impossible to classify common and overall findings from world literature reviews on commuting. This particular type of spatial mobility is an ever more frequent, complex and heterogeneous phenomenon. In many developed and developing countries all over the world, including Yugoslavia, commuting has become a substitute for and/or a complement to permanent migration.
