| Summary: | The authors emphasize significance of hierarchy of mountain settlements by size, as well as the significance of regularity of their structure for estimation of the development level of determined spatial area. It has been shown that in undeveloped areas the process of growth of small villages appears, especially ones from up to 100 inhabitants. Evidently, this process is the consequence of empting the area and makes the renewal and revitalisation of rural areas more difficult. All negative trends, like reducing the number of bigger settlements and increasing the number of smaller ones, are most intensive in Mountain regions of Serbia (defined as territory over 600 m above sea level) in relation to Central Serbia. |
