Razvojna trojnost Slovenske Istre

Litoralizacijo označuje izrazita razvojna dvojnost: ob obali prihaja do zgoščevanja gospodarskih dejavnosti in prebivalcev, medtem ko se zaledje sooča z depopulacijo, staranjem prebivalstva in slabimi zaposlitvenimi možnostmi. S pomočjo izbranih družbenogospodarskih kazalcev smo za naselja ob štirih profilih preučili razvojno dvojnost Slovenske Istre. Struktura prebivalstva kaže, da litoralizacija v Slovenski Istri dobiva drugačno prostorsko razsežnost, saj smo opredelili tri tipe razvojnih območij.Litoralization is marked by developmental duality: coastal areas experience concentration of economic activities and population, while hinterland experiences depopulation, aging and weak employment opportunities. In the present paper, litoralization in Slovenian Istria was studied by employing a set of socioeconomic indicators of settlements along the four cross-profiles. The population structure indicated that litoralization in Slovenian Istria is changing its spatial character as three types of developmental areas could be defined
