Summary/Abstract: The impact of the ageing of the population on the changes in land cover/land use in Central Lika was analysed using an interdisciplinary approach – with the analysis of the results of a survey carried out on a sample of Central Lika respondents and the demo(geo)geographical analysis of data related to the age structure of the population of Central Lika. The interrelationships of land cover/land use and age of respondents were analysed on the spatial level of Central Lika as a whole using the t-test method within the IBM SPSS Statistics version 20 computer program. The results showed how the location of vegetable gardens, arable land ownership in the valleys and the inclination of the cultivation of the land in these valleys vary depending on the age of the respondents.
