Demographic and functional changes in the settlement net of Jadar were
analysed in the paper on the basis of theoretical and methodological
approaches and quantitative indicators. Such analysis allowed the separation
of common characteristics and classification of settlements on the basis of
demographic and functional indicators. Industrialization, followed by
urbanization and concentration of population and functions, led to a
pronounced polarization of space. Distinct differentiation of Jadar among the
urban core-Loznica, peri-urban-ring-suburbs and rural environment limits the
steady socio-economic development.
U radu su na osnovu teorijsko-metodoloskih pristupa i kvantitativnih
pokazatelja, analizirane demografske i funkcionalne promene u mrezi naselja
Jadra. Takva analiza omogucila je izdvajanje zajednickih karakteristika i
kategorizacije naselja na osnovu demografskih i funkcionalnih indikatora.
Industrijalizacija, pracena urbanizacijom i koncentracijom stanovnistva i
funkcija, dovela je do izrazite polarizacije prostora. Izrazita
diferencijacija Jadra na urbano jezgro-Loznicu, periurbani prsten-prigradska
naselja i ruralno okruzenje, ogranicava ravnomeran socioekonomski razvoj.
