Changes in number of population, households and population density in Tutin area

Abstract

The position in the peripheral, mountainous part of Serbia, made Tutin area isolated for a long time. The continual decrease of the number of inhabitants is the result of the weak economic development, of the decrease of the natural growth and emigration. The process of population redistribution is the result of the increase of urban and the decrease of rural population. There is a great number of rural inhabitants, and a great number of small settlements of scattered and spilled type. The changes of population number also influenced the changes of the number of households their structure, as well as the population density. Stopping of the further decrease of population is possible by developing economic branches based on the natural resources of the territory, infrastructure, small economy and tourism.

Položaj u perifernom, planinskom delu republike, uticao je da tutinski kraj dugo bude izolovan. Stalno smanjenje broja stanovnika posledica je slabe ekonomske razvijenosti, smanjenja prirodnog priraštaja i emigracije. Proces redistribucije stanovništva rezultirao je povećanjem urbanog i padom ruralnog stanovništva. Veliki broj je malih naselja, razbijenog i rasutog tipa. Promene broja stanovnika na isti način su uticale i na promene opoja domaćinstava, broja članova domaćinstva, njihovu strukturu i gustinu naseljenosti. Zaustavljanje daljeg pada broja stanovnika moguće je razvojem privrednih grana zasnovanih na prirodnim resursima kraja, infrastrukturi maloj privredi, turizmu.
