Sažetak

In the article the authors verify the regularity that too much of the old people in population
slow down economic development. When the old people in population of a ce1tain
area participate with more than 50%, the area or inhabited place begins to die out. In 1991
the share of old people in the total Croatian islands population was 23,2%. Population
growth has been used as an indicator of revitalization and some times as the indicator of
social dynamics intensity. This indicator has been in correlation with the economic development
and the transport accessibility of the Croatian islands. Between 1981 and 1991 the
populaton growth was recorded in rare settlements on some of the islands. The population
growth of 500 and more inhabitants was recorded only on the island of Krk (settlements
Krk, Njivice, Omišalj), on the island of Lošinj (settlement Mali Lošinj - the biggest
one on the Croatian islands), on the island of Čiovo, on the island of Krapanj (settlement
Krapanj), on the island of Rab (settlement Rab with its surrounding inhabited places), and
in settlement Supetar (on the island of Brač) and in settlement Hvar (on the island having
the same name). The analysis have demonstrated that the process of island revitalization
depends primarily on the economic development and transport accessibility. Out of the to tal
of 40 highy developed touristic settlements on the Croatian islands, 21 are located on
the previously mentioned Kvarner islands. Out of 500 biggest Croatian firms the headquarters
only of eight are located on the Croatian island, and five of them have headquarters
on the Kvarner islands. In 1997 the Strategy of Spatial Regulation and Planning of the Republic
of Croatian listed the settlements which are developmental centers on the Croatian
islands, and on this list of seven developmental centers were Krk, Mali Lošinj, Rab, Hvar
and Supetar. All of them have been located on island-peninsulas or on big transport accessible
islands. The number of inhabitants in majority of other settlements seems to be decreasing
and in the near future 25% of island settlements may die out.
