Sažetak

The article provides an analysis on growth of population and trends in towns and places of Koprivnica-Krizevci Countty in census polls from 1948 until the latest poll in 2001. It particularly reiviews the last decade. The introduction deals with methodology and provided comparisons with other Croatian countries, as well as with Croatian in general. The growth of population in the country Koprivnica-Krizevci is analyzed throughout three periods of demographic transition: 1. Late domination of agrarian processes (1945-1965) 2. Intensive industrialization (1965-1990) 3. Economic and social restructure (since 1991) In the last decade, Koprivnica-Krizevci country registered a decrease in population- for 3022 inhabitants or 3,0 percent. Forthermore, the age structure, as well as some others too, worsened. The processes of depopulation of most rural settements continued in the past decade too, in particular those places alongside River Drava, on the foothills of Bilogora and Kalnik etc. From the total of 264 settlements in the country, only 54 of them, or 20,5 percent witnessed an increased in population, mostly up to 5 percent. On the other hand, 210 settlements in the country, or 79,5 percent suffers a decrease in population, some even up to 30 percent of their population. From the total of 25 towns and municipalities in the country, only 2 of them, or 8%, experienced an increase in population. If we set aside town centers and/or municipality seats, only 6 altogether, or 24% have an increase in population. Therefore, the latest 2001 census poll shows very unfavorable demographic trends in Koprivnica- Krizevci country, both in number of inhabitants and in population structure as well. This is why we need a completely new demographic policy altogether.
