Abstract: Considering regional differences, Serbia is in the very top level in Europe and trade has been considered as one of the activity which could help in diminishing those disparities. Because of that, it is of the highest importance to analyze its spatial diffusion. Considering the methodology change in the trade statistics in the period 2005 – 2009, trade spatial analysis will be given through different indicators of trade development: the basic elements of space and natural conditions (area of territorial units, the homogeneity of spatial units, etc.), dynamical statistical analysis of demographic factors (number and density of population, depopulation) and economic categories (income, retail sales). GIS analysis parameters will be the basis for cartographic output displayed on a series of thematic maps and the results of trade analysis will be used to implement the visualisation, however, without involving business-financial performances and concurrent recognition.
