Sažetak
This work deals with the analysis and visualization of the population distribution change in, what is present day Croatia's Istria county, in the time period from the 1948 census until the 2001 census. Spatial data processing and visualization methods are mostly done in ArcGIS software and its extensions. The article focuses on temporal and spatial characteristics of Istria's population absolute number and relative density changes. Because of the very dynamic nature of the analyzed region's demographics and many changes made in its outer and inner boundaries, problems will emerge during data pre-processing and the spatial analyses themselves. All the analyses will be based on the recent 2001 population census' administrative division. Presence of strong polarization effect as well as more intense urbanization processes in the coastal buffer zone are confirmed by the analyses presented in this work.
