Abstract

Belgrade as the capital of the Republic of Serbia represents, among others, one of the leading metropolises of Southeastern Europe and Balkan Peninsula. Its gravitation impacts-convergent and divergent, exceed to a great extent the borders of mother country. On basis of available data, by the census of 2002, it is for certain that 134,415 migrants - workers, pupils and students are moving daily to Belgrade and from Belgrade towards closer and broader surroundings, but mass of convergent daily migration is larger (120,585 migrants or 89.7%) than mass of divergent daily movements (13,830 migrants or 10.3%). Daily urban system of Belgrade includes considerable area of many diverse kinds and types of settlements where from the city receives daily migrants and wherein it gives the migrants daily.

Neosporno je da Beograd, glavni grad Republike Srbije, između ostalog, predstavlja jednu od vodećih metropola Jugoistočne Evrope i Balkanskog poluostrva. Njegovi gravitacioni uticaji - konvergentni i divergentni, u velikoj meri prevazilaze granice matične države. Na osnovu raspoloživih podataka, po popisu stanovništva 2002. godine, izvesno je da se prema Beogradu i iz Beograda ka užem i širem okruženju svakodnevno kreće 134 415 migranata - radnika, učenika i studenata, s tim što je masa konvergentne dnevne migracije veća (120 585 migranata ili 89,7%) od mase divergentnih dnevnih kretanja (13 830 mi- granata ili 10,3%). Dnevni urbani sistem Beograda obuhvata znatno prostranstvo sa mnoštvom, u pravom smislu te reči, različitih vrsta i tipova naselja iz kojih grad dobija dnevne migrante i kojima svako- dnevno daje migrante.
