Abstract

The paper summarizes methodological specificities in demographic
research of the Adriatic islands. Although never large,
island population has always been very heterogeneous. Residing
on the archipelago over 500 km long, islanders inhabit only some
60 islands and compared to the continental population reveal
various specificities. The paper classifies them both in historical
perspective and in regard to the present state. Specificities are
divided in three groups: special typology in connection with aims
of demographic research, special problems concerning credibility
of statistical sources and applicability of statistic indicators in the
domain of so-called "small populations".
