Areas Of Population Growth Research Articles

Зонирование территории России на основе региональных особенностей изменения численности городского населения в период с 1989 по 2020 г.

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to a change in the settlement system of the population, including urban ones. This was due to the socio-economic transformations that were taking place at the time. As a result, the process of megacity urbanization has been actively ongoing, with the concentration of people in large cities and regional capitals being a key feature. This has had a significant impact on the current state of Russia's urban landscape, and there is a need for further research into these processes. To better understand the current situation and potential future directions for the urban structure of the country, statistical analysis methods were used to analyze population dynamics in all Russian cities from 1989 to 2020. To visualize the data obtained, a cartographic method was used and areas of population growth or decline in cities were identified. The country is divided into nine regions, with six regions seeing an increase in urban population (Southwest, Northwestern, Central, Volga-Ural, Southern, and Siberian) and three regions seeing a decrease (Asian, European, and South Siberian). Over the period under consideration, the settlement pattern of urban areas has changed, with polarization increasing (between cities and rural areas, as well as between large cities and small cities), and regional inequalities deepening. However, there are also opportunities to overcome these negative trends through the implementation of an active regional policy, the promotion of new employment opportunities in remote areas, and the provision of social support to the population.

Marriage Horizons in Fletton 1891-1911: the Hidden Narrative behind the Parish Marriage Registers

Traditionally the information contained within the parish marriage register has been used to consider the separation distance of bride and groom when they marry. However, this method of approaching the parish marriage register can be misleading and conceals a hidden narrative. By creating longitudinal narratives, the marriage can be viewed not as an isolated event, but as an event set within the bride and groom's broader life history. This method is time consuming if carried out on a large scale, so the ideal vehicle for this close analysis is the local study, and the parish this paper uses as a case study is Fletton, Huntingdonshire. Fletton is an ideal parish to choose for an analysis of marriage as it was an area of population growth and migration, and so attracted young unmarried migrants, both male and female. In addition, despite its growth, for the period 1891 to 1911 Fletton still had a comparatively small population so full record linkage can take place. In carrying out this approach this paper makes it clear that a quite different narrative of marriage horizons, separation distances and belonging can be told from that which would emerge from a consideration of separation distances in isolation.

The Pattern and Local Push Factors of Rural Depopulation in Less-Developed Areas: A Case Study in the Mountains of North Hebei Province, China.

Rural depopulation is the most significant geographical phenomenon in rural areas during the process of urbanization. Although many studies have investigated the driving force of rural depopulation based on rural-urban migration at the macro level, the local factors, and their impact on rural depopulation from the rural areas have been not fully revealed. This paper selected the northern mountains of China’s Hebei province as a study area to explore the pattern and local push factors of rural depopulation at the rural-township levels based on GeoDetector. The main findings are summarized as follows. (1) Rural depopulation varies substantially, demonstrates spatial correlation, and is distributed in clusters. From a dynamic perspective, compare that in years 2000–2010, the population growth areas during 2010–2017 have been significantly expanded, while the sharp depopulation areas and severe depopulation areas experienced shrinkage in our study area. (2) The pattern of rural depopulation is in accordance with terrain. Rural depopulation tends to be stronger in plateaus and mountains, while relatively milder in intermontane basins, hills, and piedmont plains. (3) The agricultural suitability of natural environmental and rural economic opportunities together with climate changes were the most important driving forces of rural depopulation at local levels. Location, sparse population, and inadequate public services also contributed to rural depopulation. However, the dominant driving factors are different in the different periods. Rural depopulation was mainly driven by arable land per capita and natural environmental variables in the years 2000–2010, while the population density, location, and off-farm economic opportunities played a decisive role in the years 2010–2017. (4) Rural depopulation is a complex, multi-dimensional process driven by a combination of multiple factors including different environmental factors, economic opportunities, and location. This paper reveals the push factors of rural depopulation in underdeveloped mountainous areas by a quantitative empirical approach, inspiring increased attention to the impacts of local factors and spatial correlations on rural depopulation, and has many implications for the policy design of China’s rural revitalization.

Future interstate highway system demands: Predictions based on population projections

The Interstate Highway System (IHS) used to be a symbol of American growth and its economic machine, but the IHS has not been expanded much since its inception. Recently there are both executive and legislative desires to restore and upgrade the IHS to its role as a premier system that can meet the growing and changing demands of the twenty-first century. Demographic forecasting is a precursor to rational transportation planning and decision activities. This paper provides population projections into 2060 at the county level for the entire US using cohort-component methods. We found that the US is projected to experience population growth across all age groups over the next 50 years. The projected growth, however, varies across the entire US. Population growth areas are in the west/south/east border states and the Atlanta-NC-Nashville triangle. Population decline areas include many counties from the northeast corner to the Appalachian region, counties bordering the five Great Lakes, counties along the Mississippi River, the Deep South states, and Alaska. We also identified the counties that may need additional or less transport capacity based on projected population change and proximities to IHS. We further identified the counties with high population density but without the IHS network that are projected to experience rapid population growth. IHS demands will be affected by the aging population, the young population, baby boomers, millennials, immigrants, telecommuting, and autonomous vehicles. This study provides the necessary demographic forecasting for decision and policy makers in better deciding whether and where to expand or invest in the IHS when the resources become available.

Planning's “Failure” to Ensure Efficient Market Delivery: A Lacanian Deconstruction of this Neoliberal Scapegoating Fantasy

Our neoliberal governance model places a burden on planning to often take “responsibility” for the failure of market-lead governance to deliver its policy promises of betterment, security and future enjoyment. These include promised, but often-unachievable policies, such as those of increased global competitiveness for areas of structural economic decline; or housing affordability in areas of population growth and constrained land availability. Resultant policy failures then result in a scapegoating response where planning is held responsible. Examples include that economic development, or housing affordability, is obstructed by planning impediments, such as regulatory controls or process delays, which are claimed to hamper efficient market delivery. To deconstruct this neoliberal fantasy that planning often impedes policies for market-lead success, the article will first document exemplars of this scapegoating process. It will then explore the role of fantasy and ideology in governance policy formulation and, from a Lacanian perspective, the theorization that underlies this process. Then, it will investigate the role of the “scapegoat” for public policy facilitation so as to explain why planning is often placed in this role, and why this role is often ideologically necessary, at least for neoliberal governance, when planning undertaking its statutory responsibility of facilitating the public interest.

Application of Simple Iterative Ordinary Differential Equations

A Pelczar, in [1], introduced and proved the existence and uniqueness of the iterative ordinary differential equations. M. Podisuk, in [2], introduced and proved the existence and uniqueness of the simple iterative ordinary differential equations. In this paper, the application of the simple iterative ordinary differential equations in the area of population growth will be illustrated and their results are shown in the examples.

The Transition from Excess Capacity to Strained Capacity in U.S. Hospitals

After many years of concern about excess hospital capacity, a growing perception exists that the capacity of some hospitals now seems constrained. This article explores the reasons behind this changing perception, looking at the longitudinal data and in-depth interviews for hospitals in four study sites monitored by the Community Tracking Study of the Center for Studying Health System Change. Notwithstanding the differences for individual hospitals, we observed that adjustments to the supply of hospital services tend to be slow and out of sync with changes in the demand for hospital services. Those hospitals reporting capacity problems are often teaching hospitals, located near previously closed facilities or in population growth areas. These findings suggest therefore that approaches to dealing with capacity problems might best focus on better matching individual hospitals' supply and demand adjustments.

Urban and regional change in Australia: an empirical introduction.

Recent changes in the spatial distribution of the population in Australia are examined. In particular, changes in population by state are analyzed for the period 1971-1981. The relationship of these changes to shifts in economic activity, private investment, and banking activity is considered. "Results show there have been only small shifts toward population growth areas. These results are interpreted in part as a consequence of nonlocal multipliers and linkages back to established areas, but also as a reflection of the unique features of the Australian urban and regional system."
