Summary/Abstract: Depopulation has various causes which affect the importance of this phenomenon for cities. The basic ones are: migrations, negative birth rate, wars and natural disasters. While the last two reasons may have a definitive effect on the city, migrations depending on the direction are not so obvious. They can only have a formal, administrative effect – in the case of migrations just outside the city border to the neighborhoods which are in a different communities, but in fact they are a continuation of the city (adurban) or migrations can have a definitive effect – in case of outflow of population to further suburban areas or to other cities and regions.
