Summary/Abstract: One of the main characteristics of the settlements in Zaplanje, since the Second World War, has been the negative developing trend of demographic complex. With the decrease of population number together with an intensive process of demographic ageing, there emerged a significant increase in overall number of the old-people households. Since Zaplanje is at the top on the list of Serbian territories with high proportion of old-people households in the total number of households, this article shows the spatial distribution of old-people households with their demographic characteristics.
