Comparative analysis of basic aggregate indicators of Danube-Morava corridor municipalities’ demographic change

Abstract

In this paper basic indicators of demographic change of Danube-Morava Corridor municipalities were analyzed on the basis of definite results of censuses 1948-2002. Almost half of population of Vojvodina and Central Serbia live in Danube-Morava Corridor municipalities. It is characteristic that these municipalities in all of three big macro-regions differ from the Non-Corridor municipalities by both total population change and population density. Higher values of these indicators in Corridor municipalities throughout region in observed half-century period point out to this territory as potentially main axis of Republic’s development. However, disproportion in Corridor population’s distribution must be noticed, because the largest part of population is located on proportionally very small area of Belgrade municipalities.
