Abstract
Spatial concentration and regional distribution of economic activities in the Republic of Croatia
Highlights
Economic activity is not always uniformly distributed in a given space
In that very region of Croatia we find the largest concentration of the country’s economic entities and economic activity, especially activities in the tertiary sector (Sić, 2003)
With this information in hand several questions can be poised: first, which economic activities are concentrated in the core region; second, are there activities that are spatially concentrated in other parts of Croatia; and third, which activities are more evenly dispersed in terms of spatial allocation
Summary
Economic activity is not always uniformly distributed in a given space. Distinctive spatial concentration is characteristic for certain economic activities, while others are more dispersed. The geographic allocation of economic activities can be explained by the action of centripetal and centrifugal forces (Krugman, 1999). Croatia is the youngest member of the European Union, at the time of writing, which has had a significant effect on the country, especially in economic terms relevant to the theme of this paper. With this information in hand several questions can be poised: first, which economic activities are concentrated in the core region; second, are there activities that are spatially concentrated in other parts of Croatia; and third, which activities are more evenly dispersed in terms of spatial allocation
