Geodemographic polarization processes: Municipal level (The case of the Kukmorsky municipal district of the Republic of Tatarstan)

Abstract

The global population and settlement processes have recently had a significant impact on the social and economic development of the region and its competitiveness. Therefore the areas of the concurrent use of the cartographic and mathematical methods to describe the settlement processes continue attracting attention. The gravity model of settlement, which reflects the polarization processes at the municipal level has been built and presented in this article. © IDOSI Publications, 2014
