Demografski razvoj Nina u 20. stoljeću ; The demographic development of Nin in the 20th century

U ovom radu analizira se demografski razvoj naselja Nin u razdoblju 1900. – 1999. godine, na što su utjecali povijesni i društveni procesi. Povijesno promatrajući, to je razdoblje vladavina Druge austrijske uprave, Kraljevine SHS/Jugoslavije, Federativne Narodne Republike Jugoslavije, Socijalističke Federativne Republike Jugoslavije i samostalne Republike Hrvatske. To razdoblje obilježila su također dva svjetska rata i oslobodilački Domovinski rat u Hrvatskoj, što je imalo utjecaj na ukupne demografske procese. ; The paper addresses the demographic development of Nin during the 20th century. The study was conducted for the following settlements: Nin, Grbe and Ninski Stanovi. Thereby, these demographic indicators were followed: birth rate, death rate, migration saldo and nuptiality. The demographic development of Nin has been pictured through the usual demographic indicators, together with other Croatian land settlements in the first 70 years of the 20th century. At the beginning of the analysed period, Nin underwent the second, transitional phase described in the Theory of demographic transition, with high birth rate and low death rate, which resulted in population growth. However, in the last quarter of the 20th century, demographic processes untypical of littoral land settlements took place. In the period between the censuses in 1971 and 1981, the number of inhabitants decreased significantly, while in the following period between the censuses in 1981 and 1991, it increased strongly. Finally, in the last studied period between the censuses in 1991 and 2001, it decreased again remarkably. The causes for this kind of demographic changes differed and have not been explained entirely. However, one of the major causes thereof were various census coverages taken into consideration in 1981 and 1991, to which fact demographers had been indicating earlier. This paper has confirmed two theses. The first thesis is that the number of inhabitants in the historic centre had decreased, following thereby the trends of ...
