Description :
The General Strategy for a System of Settlement in the USSR, adopted in 1976, provides a framework for evaluating the findings of research on commuting, or pendular movements. Among the goals of the General Strategy are the creation of highly interdependent regional settlement networks and the integration of rural and urban settlements in order to reduce existing differences in urban and rural standards of living. Residence in the central city is not the goal of most commuters surveyed, who would prefer instead to live in rural or suburban areas within easy access of an urban center.
