Sažetak
The article shows and analyses basic determinants of the
dynamics of the urban and non-urban (mainly rural)
population of Osijek-Baranja County, Croatia, in the period
from 1971 – 2001. The demographic situation and
processes related with the spatial and population
polarization of urban and non-urban settlements is
investigated. The basic aim of the research is to determine
the degree of polarization between urban and non-urban
settlements in the mentioned county. It is also important to
compare the results of the research with the spatial structure
of Osijek-Baranja County. The demographic situation of the
researched county, as well as of Croatia in general, is
marked by increasing processes of depopulation and
emigration. The negativity of the mentioned processes is
particularly notable in the disorder of the population
dynamics. The process of demographic ageing is present in
almost all settlements and due to it, the bio-reproductive
potential of the entire county is reduced. The article aims to
determine to what extent the negative demographic
processes have affected certain groups of settlements from
the aspect of urbanization and spatial distribution. It is
important that various tendencies of population development
for both urban and non-urban settlements are considered in
the research.
