Population Structure in the Island of Ugljan – Demographic Processes and Marital Migration
Ana Malnar
Abstract
This research on the basic demographic processes and marital migrations of the population on Ugljan Island in the
period from 1857 to 2001 was conducted within the context of the long-term anthropological research of the population
structure of Croatia’s islands. The analysis was based on the study of the origin of 5 244 married couples from Preko,
Kali, Kukljica, Lukoran and Ugljan and carried out using data preserved in the old Registers of Marriages. The results
show a high level of endogamy and reproductive isolation of the population in all the villages and they also confirm the
importance of using historical and demographic sources for researching the shaping of population structures.
