Practical lectures

Seminars, other types of lectures, studies and research: The aim of the seminars is, on the one hand, to point to the importance of the demographic indicators by using the concrete illustrations, and, on the other hand, to use these indicators to point to the possibility of the application of some theories and models of regional development in the same geospatial units. The emphasis will be put on the analysis of the relations between the development of population and level of the social-economic and regional development of Serbia, its regions, counties and municipalities.
