ANALYSIS OF POPULATION AND SOCIAL CENTER RATIO IN TOMSK-CITY

Abstract

Relevance: Many factors should be considered in documenting the urban development and comfortable urban environment. The most efficient approach to the formation of the planning structure should be based on a deep analysis of historically established spatial organization of the city and its prospective change. Purpose: The aim of this work is to study the Tomsk territory and determine the location of social centers in the context of its population distribution. Design/methodology/approach: Analytical and graphoanalytical methods are used in this study. Materials available on the Internet, including official statistical data, cartographic and information services, are used to analyze indicators of interest. Research findings: The population density map of the Tomsk-city is developed. The map shows the areas with the maximum and minimum indicators of the population density. Tomsk social centers and their location are identified and analyzed. The layout plan is proposed for Toms social centers. Conclusion: The suggested generalized scheme of the Tomsk-city population density and social centers ratio indicates the areas with the excessive concentration and insufficient availability of social centers. Practical implications: The obtained results can be used both for projecting new and reconstructing existing buildings in order to create a comfortable urban environment.
