behaviour of population. The author examines the common notion of a method, the
cognition properties of cartographical models and necessary methodical premises to
ensure an adequate representation of essential features of the population’s spatial
behaviour or other investigated phenomena (processes, structures). In the author’s
opinion the cartographical modeling may be regarded as one of the modifications of
latent structure analysis which is able to reveal and distinguish the latent groups of
population with peculiar social organization, material and cultural consumption, goals,
preferences and behaviour. There are demonstrated the cartographical models of spatial
disposition of rural population in able-bodied age in Ukraine which give a clear view of
the geographical location of rural inhabitants and their concentration or dispersion in
certain regions of countryside. These models discover the important spatial relations
between movements of rural inhabitants and urbanization in Uk raine. Comparing these
models we come to the conclusion that concentration of urban and concentration of rural
population within the bounds of the Ukraine are two sides of one and the same process of
urbanization. In this process, towns and cities perform the duties of peculiar nuclei for
crystallization of new socio-spatial structures of rural resettling. The demographic
consequences of spatial self-organization of country people are highly various, closely
tied and are displayed first of all in different types of dynamics. With a view
to investigate the types of population changes in the country side of Ukraine in
1970–1978 — in a moment when the demographic transition was over — the author
elaborated the cartograms with types of rural population dynamics after J. W. Webb’s
model. It is obvious that the depopulation and migratory losses brought about the
irreparable consequences for rural population practically in all regions of Ukraine. |
