The paper discusses problematic areas in the Republic of Srpska, from the aspects of spatial distribution of the population and demographic changes during the period between the last two censuses. The paper also treats causes and consequences of an unbalanced spatial development. Social-economic processes indicate the increase of regional differences, the consequences of which are numerous and they also differentiate the country?s area on several grounds. One of the consequences is the unbalanced development and spatial distribution of the population. Assuming that the demographic potential triggers the complex valorization of an area, the paper also indicates limitations and risks of the future development resulting from demographic changes. Starting with 1960s, the poor total demographic potential of the Republic of Srpska area has been particularly strong in rural areas. This further implies the necessity to change the approach to demographic development strategies. From both theoretical and practical aspects, the paper also addresses the consequences of the unbalanced spatial distribution of the population. The polarized development of the country jeopardizes the economic and geopolitical sustainability of the demographically depressive peripheral areas and makes it difficult to integrate into modern development processes.

The article analyzes the main organizational and legal aspects and administrative decisions in the field of ensuring and regulating the socio-economic and demographic development of the village at the regional level using the example of the Saratov region. The foreign experience is also considered on the example of Kazakhstan and its domestic policy of development of rural areas. The most effective measures in this area will be carried out taking into account regional characteristics and national and cultural values in order to eliminate the existing shortcomings associated with the emergence of depopulation of rural areas and the underestimation of its consequences, the absence of hierarchically aligned priorities in the implementation of socio-economic policy. The basis for the development of the village is the creation of prerequisites for the formation of points of growth in socio-cultural and economic spheres and should be carried out on the basis of an increase in the income of residents, an increase in labor productivity and the use of various alternative factors inherent in a market economy with a social bias. It is required to create the necessary conditions to improve the quality of life of the population of the village at the expense of state support funds, the use of part of the profits of large agricultural formations and rich peasant (farmer) households. Regulation of labor migration is necessary at the level of not only making appropriate state decisions (regional or local), but also establishing social, organizational and economic measures by agricultural and other producers themselves in order to prevent the outflow of the able-bodied population. It is also required to generate the necessary conditions for effective employment of the population in rural areas based on the development of agricultural and non-agricultural activities based on the needs of the consumer market.


The EU funds are an important factor in the development process of any new member state of the European Union. As such, EU funds support modernization and help facilitate further economic development in a member state, including its rural regions. The Republic of Croatia, based on NUTS3 classification, is predominantly rural with 79.01% of its territory being rural and 56.07% of population living in rural areas. Therefore, rural development is an integral part of overall economic development of the country. In order to improve competitiveness of Croatian agriculture sector, especially its small family farms, it is crucial to invest in their means of production and modernization of their assets. Funds awarded within the EAFRD framework in The Republic of Croatia tend to facilitate this process and further aid rural development. Croatian Development Index has a very important role in allocation of before mentioned funds. Its values are taken as criteria for state-aided areas, scoring projects (including EAFRD and other EU funds applications) and other aspects of public development policies. As one of the primary goals of Rural Development Programme in the Republic of Croatia, it is especially important to achieve a more balanced territorial development of rural areas given the fact that Croatian rural regions (counties and municipalities) are not equally developed, ensuring job creation and job retention in the process. The existence of disparities in the level of development is not a characteristic that can be found only in the Republic of Croatia, but it is an issue that should be taken into account when devising or reconsidering criteria for allocation of future EU funds in the Republic of Croatia, in order to further reduce regional disparities in the level of development. The aim of this paper is to provide empirical evidence on associations between the indicators of Croatian Development Index and spatial distribution of EU funds awarded within the Rural Development programme in The Republic of Croatia based on available data for the most recent invitation to tender for EAFRD funds.

The Republic of Macedonia, like other European countries, is following the trend of continuous decline of the population in some parts of the country. Along with this decline in population, there is also a decline in the rate of population growth and population density occurring in certain regions.On the territory of the Republic of Macedonia, regarding the distribution of population density, visible differences can be observed in some parts, and even regions. These demographic changes happened due to the economical opportunities within the country, and also to the migration movements.In this paper, beside the analysis of the data of the population movement and the density of the population (1953 – 2011), we shall also observe the basic marks of the urban and rural environments, in terms of the changes occurring in spatial distribution by regions as well as identifying the factors that influenced the formation of the disparity in today’s asymmetric spatial distribution of the population.

Yearly rates of population increase and the data about the relative participation of particular areas in the total number of the population of the Republic of Srpska point to the interdependence between the natural movement and the tract processes of emigration, deagrarization and urbanization. These processes are in the harmony with the demographic transition which is followed by the changes in the structure of the active population. Unfavourable tendencies in the re-distribution and reinstatement of the tract-demographic polarization have the reflection in the disturbances in the demographic structures and in the strengthening of the process of the total ageing of the population, specially in the rural areas. These tendencies result in a more pronounced polarization in the reproduction of the population in which the urban areas take over the priority. With the trend of the low and negative natural increase, which has the immediate influence on the accelerated process of ageing of the population, further growth of the population and socio-economic development of the Republic of Srpska are questionable. In order to secure the constant growth of the population of this area, it is urgently necessary to conduct the measures of the population politics, that is, it is necessary to match the demographic and general socio-economic development.

Rural financial institutions play an important role in development and growth of the agricultural sector. In developing economies some rural areas are adequately served by financial institutions, while others have little or no access to these institutions. This uneven pattern of geographic location of rural bank branches has been attributed largely to regional differences in agroclimatic conditions and infrastructural endowments. We have estimated several alternative specifications which can be helpful in understanding the spatial distribution of commercial bank branches across the rural areas. Our results indicate that the location of rural bank branches is significantly influenced by infrastructural endowments and agroclimatic environment.

Despite regional differences, spatial distribution has not been addressed in studies on rural income in Iran. The main goal of this study is to analyze the spatial pattern of inequality in rural areas of the country. In this research, Moran’s I index, Theil index and Gini coefficient have been used for the period 2005-2015. The results show that both inter-regional and intra-regional components affect the unequal distribution of rural income, but the importance of the intra-regional component is slightly higher. The study of the data obtained from the Moran’s Ι index shows that there is evidence of the spatial clustering phenomenon in rural economy of the country.

In this paper, basic characteristics of demographic and economic changes in the area of Belgrade agglomeration in the second half of 20th century has been researched, and a global trend of their establishments and motions has been indicated. Changes of territorial arrangement, spatial distribution and structural features of population, within the agglomeration itself, were in close interaction with directions of development and expansion of urban region. Belgrade agglomeration development follows several stages in its physiognomic-spatial, economic and demographic growth, whereby the migrations, as in cases of all large urban systems, had special influence on growth and structural features of population. In this paper, modern development processes and their effects on demographic growth have been emphasized. .

Currently, the relevance of sustainable development of human resources in rural areas is undeniable. At the same time, the problems that exist in the village require immediate solutions. The state has done a lot of work in this area, but many researchers are still discussing the complete lack of sustainable development of human resources in the rural area. In the study, the author conducted an analysis of existing regulatory legal acts in the field of human resource development in the village. The study revealed that in the strategic documents there is insufficient elaboration in the field of specific features of rural development and the integrated focus on the development of human resources. The modern development of the human resources potential of rural areas, and the assessment of the economic development of the countryside, show that there are many problems in the countryside. To this end, an analysis of the development of the personnel potential of rural territories of the Republic of Buryatia was carried out and the current problems of rural development were highlighted. The identified problems indicate that rural territories need constant financial support from the state. Therefore, in conclusion of the study, it was concluded that there is a need for substantial state funding of rural areas, the preservation of endangered rural areas, and ensuring the attractiveness of the village, which together will attract young people and solve problems in the village.
