摘要：In this study the starting point for the authors is the thesis that development influences spatial, sectorial and time dimensions of social organization as well as the nature of indicators which can be used in valuation of evolutional changes. The analysis has been limited to three specific socioecological contexts of social organization: 1. change in levels of territorial social organization, 2. appearance of coherent sectors and their relationship, and 3. relationship between the degree and speed of changes. Each of these dimensions has been conceived and its functioning in regard to the evolutinal changes has been explained. The authors have tried to explain the influence of development taking as the example the Slovenian communities in the period between 1963 and 1972. Although data for SR Slovenia are extensive, yet their selection on the basis of contextual and methodological criteria is problematic. Therefore, the empirical verification of the evolutional law on local (communal) level as well as on long-term basis is quite limited. Due to the inapplicability of some data the authors have been forced to limit their analysis to the following three themes: economic development, cultural development and development of communications. The development of each of these has been controlled through various selected indicators. The sector of economic development has been, for example, measured by the following indicators: social product (per capita), number of industrial enterprises in the community, agricultural population, urban population, number of licensed passanger cars, number of licensed cars for transportation of goods, number of retail shops, number of persons employed in secondary and tertiary sector. By using the method of main components the authors have classified all Slovenian communities into two groups on basis of positive and negative factor values (factor cores), and namely, into more and less developed communities. The obtained data show high correlation between migration and the degree of development of the community. The more developed communities attract relatively more people and have a smaller proportion of emigrants. This mobility showe a tendency of growth towards openess with the higher degree of development. The authors have also established that the economic sector is a more significant predictor for the speed of economic development in the less developed than in the more developed communities. Similarly, the degree of economic development is a better predictor of the speed of development of communications in the less developed than in the more developed communities. On the contrary, the changes in indicators of cultural development in the group ot the less developed communities do not depend upon the level of economic development. This leads to the conclusion that the variations in the speed of changes reflect more a definite stage in their growth than the dependence upon the level of economic development.
