Tema rada je historijskogeografski razvoj Osijeka u okviru njegovih administrativnih međa, a u istraživanju naslovljene teme povezuju se dva metodološka pristupa, povijesni i geografski. Prirodno-geografska obilježja te stanovništvo i naseljenost razmatraju se u prvom dijelu rada od prvog službenog popisa stanovništva 1857. godine. Drugi dio rada razmatra historijskogeografski razvoj Grada Osijeka od prapovijesti i antike, preko srednjovjekovnog razdoblja i osmanlijskih osvajanja pa sve do suvremenog doba pri čemu je veći naglasak na razdoblje nakon Drugog svjetskog rata. Završni dio rada razmatra potencijale i predviđanja budućeg razvoja Osijeka iz kojih su vidljivi negativni trendovi demografskog razvoja koji će sasvim sigurno utjecati i na ukupni razvoj Osijeka.The topic of this paper is the historic-geographic development of the city of Osijek and its administrative boundaries.

The topic of this paper is the historic-geographic development of the city of Osijek and its administrative boundaries. Two methodological concepts were used in researching the topic: historic and geographic. The first part of the paper deals with natural and geographic features, as well as population since the first official census in 1857. The second part deals with the historic-geographic development of the city of Osijek covering the periods from prehistory and classical antiquity, over the medieval period and the Ottoman Period, up until the modern times, focusing in particular on the period after World War II. The final chapter of the paper considers the possibilities and probability of Osijek’s future development, which demonstrate negative tendencies when it comes to the development of demographic indicators and functional organization of space.
