Population Changes in Mountain Villages in the SR Macedonia
Mitko Panov
Sažetak
During the last twenty years there
has been a noted depopulation
of mountain villages in the SR
Macedonia. This has had various
consequences and caused many
problems in rural environments.
The author first gives a short
survey of the morphoplastics of
the region, the number of
villages, their distribution and
density of population. He shows
the dynamics of the population
mass in the period 1971—1981,
which has a negative balance.
It is the same in the case of
households. As an example of the
present state he shows the case
of two mountain regions, and
then discussed the most important
consequences of emigration.
Of the many problems he stresses
two in particular. The first is
linked with unfavourable changes
in the demographic structure
of the population, and the second
with the size of settlement. He
especially stresses the problem
of the great number of small
villages, which dominate the
network of mountain villages.
In a factographic analysis that is
also of practical importance, he
indicates serious negative
socioeconomic phenomena, like
the weakening of the productive
power of the demographic mass
and the deagrarization of the
agricultural region, and he also
stresses that social repercussions
are not to be underestimated.
