Summary/Abstract: The basic characteristics of natural increase and migration of the population are being analyzed in this research, with the aim to establish the level of demographic transition in the Raška region in the beginning of 21st century. In the period (1961 – 2002), changes of natural increase are reflecting in the decreasing of birth-rate and the increasing of rate of mortality. One of the most important aims of this research is to answer the question why those differences exist in the natural increase in the population among urban and rural settlements, as well as which are the directions of even regional development. In this research different methods are used (statistics, cartographic, analytics and synthetics), and results of it might have applicable value in the future planning of demographic and economic development of Raška region.
