This paper deals with the geographical problems of the Koločep and Lopud islands in thesouthern Dalmatian part of Croatia. The work is included in the project "Geographical bases ofthe development of ...little Croatian islands". The paper specially deals with the present-dayproblems of depopulation and underdevelopment that represents the special problem for thedemographic revitalization of the islands.
The Town of Knin, as many other war-affected areas in Croatia, has experienced significant demographic, socio-economic and political changes. The most prominent changes include notable reduction in ...the number of inhabitants and altered population structures. Ethnic composition has changed significantly in comparison to prewar period, partly due to immigration of Croats from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Besides marginalization on the international, national and regional levels, it is possible to speak about marginalization on the local level. It is especially important since its consequences and ...various aspects are felt in everyday life. This paper presents the results of quantitative analysis of the process of marginalization on the local level on the example of the peninsula of Pelješac in Croatian Littoral. The main aim of the research is to contribute to propose a quantitative approach in the research of marginalization. The authors have defined four indicators which form the basis of the GIS analysis: demographic, socio-economic, educational and an indicator of physical marginalization. In order to see relationship between the indicators, the peninsula has been divided into zones which differ according to the marginalization process. Such differences are expressed quantitatively in form of an index of marginalization.

Analizira se kontekst nastanka, autorstvo i sadržaj triju kartografskogeografskih izvorâ dubrovačke provenijencije. Riječ je o rukopisnim djelima koja su nastala približno u isto vrijeme, potkraj 17. ...stoljeća, kada dolazi do bitnih promjena u političkoj konstelaciji jugoistočne Europe. Republika nije bila sklona izradi i objavljivanju karata svog teritorija, jer je “lokalno znanje” moglo postati dostupno potencijalnim osvajačima. Stoga u Dubrovniku nije bilo službenih kartografa ni kartografskih radionica. Sadržaj karata s ucrtanim granicama i mnoštvom oikonima ide u prilog tezi da su nastale u vrijeme sklapanja Karlovačkog mira 1699, kada su Dubrovčani vodili diplomatsku borbu s Mlečanima za neprekinutu granicu s Osmanskim Carstvom u zaleđu. Iako dubrovačke karte tehnički neusporedivo zaostaju za tiskanim djelima poznatih suvremenika, prikaz užeg područja Republike i neposrednog zaleđa po nekim je elementima (brojnost oikonima, hidrografska mreža i obalna crta) bolji nego u djelima poznatih kartografa.
In the paper the importance of Gradac as central place is analysed according to the central places’ theory. Using survey method, the system of central places in Upper littoral (especially the role of ...Gradac) has been defined. Special attention has been dedicated to the significance of the political territorial organisation for the development of the central places network.
This paper offers the results of the analysis of changes in biological and economic structure of the population in South Croatia (Dalmatia) from 1948 to 1991. Special attention has been paid to the ...development of the secondary and tertiary activity sectors and the influence of general economic progress on the population.
The article presents the results of research of the specifics of second homes as a consequence of accelerated tourism development in the Municipality of Neum in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is a ...phenomenon which, primarily due to insufficient data, has not been scientifically researched in more detail. Based on secondary data collected from scant relevant sources, the authors analysed the available data regarding the number of holiday homes/apartments as well as the structural characteristics of holiday home owners. The phenomenon of second homes was analysed from the point of view of its development in Neum, as the only urban-type settlement within the municipality, and in rural settlements in its hinterland. The research showed the expansion of second homes from the narrow coastal zone into the interior and the concentration of holiday home owners in neighbouring municipalities and larger urban centres of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as in nearby areas of Dalmatia. The process of internationalisation was also analysed, as a large number of second homes are owned by foreign citizens, primarily those from neighbouring Croatia.
This paper examines sports, cultural, historical, and urban geography to analyse hodonyms (names of streets and squares) and ergonyms (names of hospitality establishments) located in the proximity of ...sports centres. The research examines whether there is a link between the hodonyms and ergonyms associated with sports and the location of sports facilities. The starting point of this research was the assumption that spatial proximity influences the motivation for naming streets, squares, and hospitality establishments. Accordingly, this paper approaches the concept of sports in the urban landscape from a spatial aspect. Case studies were conducted in the two largest cities of the Republic of Croatia: the capital city Zagreb, and Split. The main methodological approach used in the analysis of data was statistical and interpretative. The research showed that there is a degree of association between hodonyms and ergonyms and the location of sports facilities. Sports transform and shape the urban landscape, not only the sports landscape (in the form of infrastructure), but also other parts of the city.
Grad Knin je, kao i ostala područja u Hrvatskoj koja su bila izravno pogođena ratnim djelovanjima, doživio mnoge političke, društveno-gospodarske i demografske promjene. Osim znatnog smanjenja broja ...stanovnika, promijenila se i njihova struktura. Narodnosni sastav bitno je izmijenjen u odnosu na prijeratno razdoblje, što je i posljedica doseljavanja hrvatskog stanovništva iz susjedne Bosne i Hercegovine.
