Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the northern Dalmatia in the 18th century as the geographical area of specific diseases and specific economy. By the way the state (the Venetian Republic) reclamated the lowland and swampy areas to prevent the spread of diseases (the sanitary cordons) challenged demographic increase and the while economic production. Poverty, starvation, apathy and diseases supported the illegal commercial and business activities of the local inhabitants as well as the local criminal activities.
