Abstract
This summary thesis analyses socio-geographical transformation of the Malinska - Dubašnica Municipality in the second half of 20th century. Transformation of an area happens as a consequence of general development (social and economical progress), transformation from traditional, rural to modern industrial society. In Croatia these processes are happening in conditions of polarized developement, in which urban based industrialisation stimulates development of cities, and stops the development of rural areas. These areas are partly deteriorated, but some show signs of gradual development, of which the municipality. Results have shawn spatial unevenness of transformation at municipality level characterised by more intensive deagrarization and urbanization in easily accesible and more intensive deruralization in peripheral settlements. Tourism is one of the major factor of transformation in recent times. All these processes together have caused great demographic and physiognomic changes. Population in the last several decades has permanent growth, transport and housing infrastructure is modernised and agrarian landscape is neglected inspot. The trend of further development of the municipality depends of further development of the tourism, but also on activities outside of tourism, which depends on trends within the Rijeka area which the municipality is part of.
