Abstract

Besides marginalization on the international, national and regional levels, it is possible to speak about marginalization on the local level. It is especially important since its consequences and various aspects are felt in everyday life. This paper presents the results of quantitative analysis of the process of marginalization on the local level on the example of the peninsula of Pelješac in Croatian Littoral. The main aim of the research is to contribute to propose a quantitative approach in the research of marginalization. The authors have defined four indicators which form the basis of the GIS analysis: demographic, socio-economic, educational and an indicator of physical marginalization. In order to see relationship between the indicators, the peninsula has been divided into zones which differ according to the marginalization process. Such differences are expressed quantitatively in form of an index of marginalization.
