Sažetak
In this paper the author researches the possible application of statistical-mathematical indicators such as the regional factor, index of specialisation and centre of mass – indicators that are not usually applied in research in the field of tourism geography. These indicators
are applied in analysis of the basic data of tourism development: number of tourist arrivals, number of international tourist arrivals by country of origin, and number of tourist beds. This methodological approach is applied in analysis of the geographic characteristics of the most important Central Dalmatian islands: Brač, Hvar, Šolta and Vis. The comparison of this tourist development data has been made for 1988 and 2008, the final points of the period during which Croatian tourism, including the Central Dalmatian islands, had experienced significant changes. This paper also presents the dynamics of tourism development during the same period, along with the processes of polarisation in tourism development of the
four islands. An analysis of the processes of concentration, centralisation, decentralisation and polycentric tourism development is also provided.
