Empirical Evidence of Population Concentration in Spain, 1900-2001
Abstract
This paper examines the evolution of the population density in Spain over the twentieth century. Using a homogeneous database of the population at a municipal level - elaborated from the eleven censuses carried out between 1900 and 2001 - the paper looks at the general characteristics of population concentration from various perspectives. Focusing on population density, we present empirical evidence supporting the hypothesis that, over time, Spain's population has undergone progressive concentration, and that this process is still under way. Its main contribution is to offer quantitative support for phenomena which have already been well documented by specialists in more general terms. Abstract: Cet article traite de l'evolution de la densite de la population en Espagne au cours du XXe siecle. Exploitant une base de donnees demographiques homogene a l'echelle des municipalites - construite a partir des onze recensements effectues entre 1900 et 2001 - les auteurs examinent, sous divers points de vue, les caracteristiques generales de la concentration de la population. Les resultats corroborent l'hypothese d'une concentration progressive de la population de l'Espagne au fil du temps, processus qui se poursuit encore aujourd'hui. L'apport essentiel de l'article est qu'il confirme par une analyse quantitative des phenomenes que les specialistes ont deja bien decrits en des termes plus generaux. Abstract: Este articulo versa sobre la evolucion de la densidad de poblacion en Espana durante el siglo XX. A partir de una base de dato...
