Abstract
The paper deals with demographic features of the Adriatic islands in the last thirty years. Analysis of total population and its natural and mechanic dynamics is performed. The most frequent direction is depopulation caused both by negative net migration and, recently, negative natality. However, the observed period reveals demographic polarization. There is continuous depopulation in villages, the settlements in the island interior and on the Dalmatian islands in one hand, and upward sloping population tendencies in urban settlements, in the settlements facing the open sea and on the Kvarner islands in the other.
