Abstract

During the last two decades Croatia, including Koprivnica, has been affected by negative demographic trends which were caused by natural decline and growing migration of young and fertile population abroad. These processes and reactions confirm the approach in which the population is not considered as a basic resource of space and potential of planning and revitalization. That is the reason why the observed population of Croatia and the Koprivnica are in unenviable position. Since population trends are a demographic framework of spatial planning and revitalization approach, mathematical extrapolation has been used for the estimation of the total population based on the last census data from 2011. Dominant processes are increasingly oriented to the contemporary development and negatively influencing the future of the observed space, they are implying the necessity of proposing and setting up better solutions for specific developmental future, based on population and revitalization policies. Therefore, this paper gives a special review of the revitalization policies and models with the domicile and immigrant population.
