Present population structure of Central Pomerania is a consequence of demographic transformations introduced in the post-war period. The population of the described region is heterogenic and has been combined by people who came from different parts of Poland, autochthons and generations born in this particular area. However the settlers from Central Poland (41.9%) and people who came from abroad (24.3%) including over 23.0% from the former USSR played the most important role in creating a new population structure (Rydz 1979). One of crucial factors influencing evolutions of population’s patterns in basic population structures are migrations. Migrations seem to confirm spatial adjustment abilities of population to constantly evolving social and economic conditions. A fast pace of a demographic development in Central Pomerania was an effect of a fast rise in the urban population (Tab. 1). An incredible role in developing processes have played industrialization that improved accommodation conditions and generated a shift of population from rural to urban districts. However between 1988-2002 a crucial role in the process of the dynamics’ evolution played social and economic transformations. A source of those unfavorable transformations (Fig. 1) should be considered in evolving social and economic situation of population. It makes young people migrate to other cities of Poland or other countries of the European Union such as Germany, the Great Britain, Ireland. According to the research the majority of the communities are characterized by a regressive type of demographic abilities (Fig. 2). A spatial concentration of the urban population is characteristic to a band-junction structure (Fig. 3). The biggest and best developed cities play a role of junctions in a settlement structure e.g. Koszalin, Słupsk, Lebork and Szczecinek. The present article also concentrates on factors influencing evolutions of population’ natural movements. The scientists recorded a tendency to limit a number of births in central Pomerania (Tab. 3 and Fig. 5). In a period of transformations they also recorded egression processes of the rural population.

Deep and multi-level economic transformations that occurred in the cities and rural areas caused profound changes in the demographic structures. The problems connected with the issue of the demographic transformations in the cities, especially those big ones, such as agglomerations or metropolises, have remained a subject of numerous geographic, demographic or sociologic studies in the post-war period. It was a result of a high concentration of population in the analyzed units, their economic position and the role they played in the settlement network of a country. The main purpose of the present paper is to define the general mechanisms of social, demographic and set-tlement transformations in the coastal agglomerations, being developed and influenced by various factors influencing development patterns of their inner zones. The author analyzed the changes of demographic and social structures recorded between 1988 and 2006 and accommodation re-sources. Analyzing the changes of population patterns by their inner spatial structure, the author discovered an increasing number of inhabitants recorded in each zone, however generally more dynamic development patterns characterized the urbanized zones (Fig. 1). The author also re-corded considerable changes of accommodation resources increase concerning their general and ownership structure during the analyzed period (1988-2006). Estimation of demographic transfor-mation factors including concepts of natural increase and migration rate is considered an essential element in conducting the research on population dynamics (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4). The observed ten-dencies of population’s structures were also recorded in economic groups (population in pre-production, production and post-production age). Generally the author observes a significant in-crease of people in production and post-production age. The number of children and teenagers un-der 18 has considerably decreased – pre-production group (Fig. 5).
