СТРУКТУРА АГЛОМЕРАЦИЙ КАК ОНТОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ ОСНОВА ТЕРРИТОРИАЛЬНОГО ПЛАНИРОВАНИЯ

Abstract

The spatial organization and regulation of human activity through territorial planning is a very urgent problem for many countries of the world. The issue of the optimal network of population resettlement has always been acute for Russia for a number of reasons, some of which were taken into account in the course of the administrative-territorial reform. In this aspect, the determination of the structural and dynamic characteristics of the settlement network is becoming increasingly important. The article deals with methodological issues of studying the regional spatial structure of the agglomeration. Modeling builds a number of levels with the spatial distribution of the population by function, by the potential and ability of the territory to implement the considered settlement options. This hierarchy represents the different sides of the interaction in accordance with the selected parameter. The constructed layers are a convenient tool for determining the initial agglomerations and promising growth points of the region, the development of which will stimulate the optimal use of the territorial potential, as well as increase the economic and investment potential. The described approach to the study of the spatial structure of the agglomeration can be in demand for sound territorial and urban planning and management, for an effective policy of regional development, etc.
