Number of urban and other localities and their population (1981), age composition (population by major age group in urban and rural localities), illiteracy and school attainment (school qualifications), activity (population by activity and rate
activity by sex in urban and other localities in 1981).
The results of the 1981 population census show a great increase in the number of urban localities: list of urban localities according to the number of inhabitants at the time of the 1981 census, table of urban localities by size in 1981, table
of the degree of urban concentration in 1981, maps of towns with more than 10,000 inhabitants in 1948 and 1981, analysis of the situation in the Republics and Autonomous Provinces.
Urbanization in the past fifty years| migration during the last two decades| effects of this migrations within urban centres. The last article is a case study on the city of Kâsân. (ABSTR. IR.).
Slovak urban geomorphology principles and objectives
An urban-geomorphologic analysis of the Slovak relief described. The aim of this analysis is the evaluation of a certain territory for the needs of urbanism. At the first stage when data for the basic questions of settlements location are needed
urban geomorphology can offer data in general scales, for the needs of Slovakia this being 1: 500 000. At the second stage the evaluation of surface form, present landforming process and a combination of these characteristics with data possible
to quantify come to the fore. Both mentioned approaches of urban geomorphologic evaluation have been carried out on the territory of Slovakia.
On the need to view urbanization as development in structure by states.
Urban development by stages is one important component in the theory of urbanization. The initial, the acceleration, and the terminal stages are recognised. In the process of urbanization, concentration of population in large and medium-sized cities
is usually followed by dispersion into smaller cities. Problems faced by different regions and cities at different stages of development have to be examined. A note of caution is that a country should not overleap the present stage in its urbanization process
Urban planning and design in the Soviet North: the Noril'sk experience
Another installment in a series of articles on urban and economic development at Noril'sk focuses on the experiences in urban planning and design. Special attention is devoted to efforts to defend the city from strong winds and blowing snow through
On the determination of city character in urban planning.
to be resolved in the assessment are the comparability of Chinese urban statistical data, a convenient way to calculate the basic/ non-basic, and perfection of the intensity index of urban functions introduced in this study.
Peculiarities in the process of urbanization on the Great Hungarian Plain in Geographical essays in Hungary.
The main characteristics of urbanization on the Great Plain are due to the relative backwardness and belated development of the region. It is not only a matter of temporal lag, however, as the Great Plain does not follow the course of progress found
in other regions and this bears on its future urbanization too. (DLO).
Spatial relationship of urbanization and changes of land use structure in Geographical essays in Hungary.
There is a spatial connection between the intensity of land use and the degree of urbanization in Hungary. The correlation between the high ratio of urbanization and gardens is a special, although not unprecedented, feature in Hungary. The regional
The spatial approach to the urban question: a comment
Two ways of defining the urban question are possible, the social and the spatial. The former has received considerable attention and has been widely discredited. The latter has rarely been defined with clarity and has been inadequately treated
in recent reviews. The spatial approach rests upon a view of cities as places where proximity offers uniquely urban opportunities and problems. Such a definition is inadequate, not because space is unimportant but because urban and nonurban space do
The characteristics and history of urbanization in China in the past 30 years are outlined and their distinguishing features pointed out. Explanations are offered for the irregular progress urbanization by reference to employment structure
and the level of economic development. Assuming an annual rate of increase fof 3.67 %, urban population is predicted to be 33.7 % of national total by 2000 A.D. The present concentration of growth efforts in the urbanised East is seen to be justified. (TNC).
The history of settlement geographical terms like agglomeration, urbanized area, dispersed city, urban landscape, conurbation, Ballungsraum, Verdichtung, Verdichtungsraum, urban region is outlined, their contents explained and their applicability
Energy and urban spatial structure: a review of forecasting research
This study examines methods of forecasting urban spatial structure from information on energy supply and cost. Five general forecasting approaches are identified, of which four are represented in the literature (Leibnizian forecasts, Lockean
