Summary/Abstract: Present-day development of the population in East Croatia has inherited deeply rooted traces of its former – in many respects specific – demographic, social and economic development. Due to its physical relief, climatic-ecological, hydrogeographical, pedological, transportational-geographical, historical-political and socio-economic traits and determinants, the East Croatian area has had – despite periodic fluctuations – a very dynamic, and on the whole more prosperous demographic development than most other Croatian regions. One of the vital traits of contemporary population development in East Croatia, with complex cause-effect characteristics, is polarised population development, especially between urban and rural settlements/areas in the region.
