Sažetak
Regional policy is considered as one of the most complex public policies. Its most important goal is the balanced development of the national territory. One of the major preconditions for successful implementation of regional policy is a region that exhibits the quality of economic homogeneity, in which implementation, monitoring and evaluation of development measures would be simple and logical. This article analyses features and roles of proposed planning areas (according to the draft Act on Regional Development) in terms of formulation and management of regional policy. Therefore, the article explores the demographic and economic profile of the planning area and associated counties based on data for the year 2011 or 2013. Demographic features are analyzed by comparative analysis of spatial distribution of population and by the index of demographic resources, while economic features are described by usual economic indicators - gross domestic product, gross domestic product per capita, unemployment rate, composite development index and an index of specialization.
