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

In parallel with the decrease in number of agricultural population, reduce the area of arable land and gardens, as well as food production, despite the enviable opportunities in this part of northeastern Montenegro to the contrary. With all this agricultural activity took place in a limited economic conditions, resulting in that it has a relatively small agricultural areas of 67,740 ha, expressed per capita of 0.81 ha.

The structure of the surface by way of use, applying the method we have found alternate splitter type of secondary distribution of agricultural areas with a higher share of forests and barren land small share (PP3Å 2N1). The structure of agricultural land use is predominantly pasture stand type of agricultural land with a higher share of meadows (P4L2). Direction with equal participation of vegetables, animal fodder and fodder grain participation and uncultivated arable land (Po2Sk2Ž1No1), characterized by are use of the structure of arable land. Forest land and commercial forest area in is region, occupying an area of "‹"‹110.010 hectares, which means that 38.71% of the territory Polimlje-Ibar, covered with forest vegetation.

    MONTENEGRIN VILLAGE GNJILI POTOK AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 21 ST CEUNTRY

    Get PDF
    This paper analyzes the Montenegrin rural village Gnjili Potok at the beginning of the twenty -first century. The population of Gnjilog Potok, as well as most other Montenegrin rural settlements, passed through the period from 1948 to 2017 all the characteristic stages of demographic transition. The maximum number of inhabitants was recorded in 1948 (325), and from the 1961 (281)  censuses, in the processes of industrialization, the depopulation began. In the post - transition phase in the last two censuses in 2003 and 2011, the number of inhabitants in the settlement was reduced from 111 to 87. According to the survey data from 2017, a total of 63 inhabitants live in the settlement. Compared to 1948, the number of inhabitants in 2017 was reduced by 194 %. The outflow of the population due to economic migration is constant and, unfortunately, there is no reversible flow, so it is necessary to define specific measures of social policy so that the demographic emptying of the space caused by these processes can be stopped or at least mitigated.  In a sociological sense, the population is attached to traditional values and preserving the common heritage. By ranking the answers about the biggest shortcomings in the settlement, the respondents state that: inability to work, access to health facilities, lack of content for young people, lack of social, cultural and sports facilities, access to trade, access to educational institutions, access to public transport ... Therefore, discouraging the fact that more than half of the respondents (69 %) think that they as individuals can do nothing to improve the lives of the neighborhood. If we add to this group a part of the respondents (12 %) who "do not know" what the individuals could change in the settlement, so we get the result of 81 % of respondents who are considered incompetent to discuss ways of improving the living standards of the village. In  these  considerations,  scientific research and practical experience of countries in which the processes of  rural development and cooperation has dominated for a long time can be a valuable asset for  Montenegro,  especially  given  the  current  national  development  trends,  intentions  and  commitments
