In the thesis, we analyze the way the population is distributed regarding migration. For this purpose, statistical data as migration and spatial data as boundaries of municipalities were used. With this information and the help of IMAGE Studio, we analized a spatial (gravity) model and spatial indicators. We discussed the period from 2000-2014, by choosing years that were of particular importance for the economy in Slovenia. The spatial indicators were used in order to form the index of net migration impact, which best describes and shows the effect of migration on population distribution. Another factor that was used to show the different effects on population distribution is the human development index. This parameter succeeded in determining how the development of society influences migration and the distribution of the population. The analysis also takes into account the modifiable areal unit problem as the main problem in spatial analysis. In addition to the indicators, the distance that affects the distribution of the population appears as a factor. Distance and spatial indicators together give a complete picture of the change in the field of migration and their impacts. The graduation thesis can be used as a theoretical model for tracking changes in the distribution of the population and how these changes can be predicted. The way the analysis is carried out is an example of how migration can be directed to be as useful as possible for the whole society and the country on an economic plan.
