The article addresses the migration processes in the fifteen years after WWII in what is today’s Slovenian coastal region. The main emphasis is on the immigration following the annexation of this area to socialist Yugoslavia in 1954. The replacement of the population, the radical change of the ethnic structure and the geography of the immigration inflow are outlined. Some questions that affected the immigration and repopulation process are discussed and some possibilities for further research are presented, i.e. the policy and management of the migration processes, the inclusion patterns of the newcomers and the relationships among the indigenous and immigrant components.Prispevek obravnava migracijske procese na slovenskem obalnem območju v obdobju petnajstih let po drugi svetovni vojni. Poudarek je na priseljevanju, ki je sledilo priključitvi območja socialistični Jugoslaviji leta 1954. Prikazane so zamenjave prebivalstva, etnične spremembe in geografski izvor priseljenskih tokov. Nakazani so tudi nekateri problemi, ki so vplivali na priseljevanje in nastajanje nove družbene stvarnosti. Med vprašanji, vrednimi raziskovanja, avtor poudarja politiko in upravljanje priseljenskega procesa, oblike vključevanja prišlekov v novo okolje ter odnose med priseljenci in lokalnim prebivalstvom
