Correlation Between the Development of the Road Network and the Degree of Depopulation of Rural Settlements in Croatia
Ivo Nejašmić
Abstract
The length of the road network had an effect on the intensity of demographic ''emptying'' of the rural areas (settlements) in Croatia; a longer network of roads to a certain extent means less populational degression, while a shorter network means greater population degression. Analysis results indicate that a firm connection exists between traffic accessibility of rural settlements and their demographic characteristics.
