Abstract

The paper analyzes some of the economic and geographical factors of rural settlements northeastern Montenegro. Isolated traffic and geographical position adversely affects their economic and social development. Natural characteristics of space indicate that rural economy is not in compliance with all the natural conditions. Incompatibility between the available natural and current conditions of the rural economy is determined by the overall socio-economic factors of development. The percentage decrease in rural population in the municipality of Berane period 1948-2003 amounted to - 0.22%. However, the municipalities of Andrijevica and Plav, show significant deviations from these population dynamics. Thus the percentage decrease in population rural the same period was in the municipality Andrijevica - 49.44%, and the municipality of Plav - 26.8%.The main characteristic of the modern development of rural settlements give industrialization and urbanization processes. Age groups, due to migration and the reduction of fertility change and take on unfavorable characteristics, reduces the proportion of younger and older increases the proportion of the population. . In both cases, the disturbed age structure has a reverse effect on the movement of the population (the size of reproductive contingent), but also to all other structures of the population (the size of contingent employment, population, compulsory school contingent, contingent dependent population ratio). Rating natural conditions aimed at separation of homogenous territorial units with some degree of benefits and limitations for certain types of economic development.

Highlights

  • The paper analyzes some of the economic and geographical factors of rural settlements northeastern Montenegro

  • Major changes occur in the second half of the twentieth century and in accordance with the changed policy of socio-economic development, which is opposite to the traditional orientation of the population in agricultural activities, encourage the industrialization of the economy and urbanization of society

  • Negative selection has led to a very unfavorable economic structure of the population, from the standpoint of labor and productive capacity. These uncontrolled demographic processes are not accompanied by adequate measures other necessary changes in the rural economy, which has been shown that the qualitative properties of optimal favorable population and economic structure, a component in guiding the trans

Summary

Introduction

The paper analyzes some of the economic and geographical factors of rural settlements northeastern Montenegro. Due to migration and reducing birth rates will change and take on unfavorable characteristics, reduces the proportion of younger and increases the proportion of elderly people In both cases the age structure of a disturbed feedback of the movement of the population (the size of reproductive contingent) and to all other population structure (size of contingent employment, population, compulsory school contingent relationship maintenance). The aim of the research is to show fundamental changes in the total number and spatial distribution of the rural population of the municipality Berane, Andrijevica and Plav, and analyze tendencies of social and economic development factors. Rating natural conditions (geographical zoning of rural territory) has shown that rural economies of the considered area is not in compliance with all the natural conditions, it is a conflict between the existing natural features and terrain of the contemporary rural economy, is determined by demographic and economic structure
