Spatial differentiation of rural territories in the Kaliningrad region: implications for socio-economic policies
... Kaliningradstat, 2008.
The territorial variations in rural population change, observed over a sufficiently long period, align with the concept of polarization. The intra-regional socioeconomic zones identified with its help (the immediate and remote suburban zones of Kaliningrad, the periphery, see Figure 2) differ in terms of the demographic situation.

Socio-economic zoning of the Kaliningrad region
As the change between 2010 and early 2023 figures suggests, despite the overall rural population ...
Population change and the settlement system transformation in Poland, as revealed by the 2021 census
... relying on urban settlements abandoned by Germans. Those who have worked and continue to work in these enterprises have been and remain agricultural workers rather than peasants dominating eastern Poland. An integral part of ruralization in the country is suburbanization, with new urban quarters built outside cities in formally rural areas. We can call it “false ruralization” by analogy with “false urbanization”.
Another probable reason for the decline in the number and proportion of the urban ...
Geodemography of the Saint Petersburg Suburbs
... comparative analysis. Geodemographic studies should take into account not only demographic data but also the characteristics of the settlement system. Such studies are particularly important for suburbs. Russian social geography pays little attention to suburban studies, although such territories have become an independent object of research in international geographical science. The Saint Petersburg suburbs are of special interest from the perspective of geodemography, which is explained by the significant ...
The modern economy of Russia’s Baltic regions in the municipal context
... and the ratio of cities and rural areas is also ambiguous. On the one hand, Kaliningrad, as the regional ‘capital’, does not stand out from other municipalities in the importance of small business. On the other hand, it is higher in the largest suburban municipalities of both regions (the Guryevsk MD and the Vsevolozhsk MA). In the Kaliningrad region, a higher share of SPs in employment is still characteristic of urban districts, while in the Leningrad region — of suburban municipalities: ...
Economic development of Russia’s north-western regions and migration to the St. Petersburg agglomeration
... population dynamics.
The active population migration to the St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Helsinki agglomerations was accompanied by an increase in investments, but then the development of the agglomeration core gradually slowed down while the development of suburban areas gained pace.
There is also a possibility of other agglomerations forming in the NWFD. An analysis of potential agglomerations was carried out for northern regions [22]. Four agglomerations comprising the administrative centers were identified ...
Features of modern accommodation production of agricultural products in the Russian non-black earth region
... been revealed. On the basis of zonal factors, the northern, central, and southern groups of regions are identified. Taking into account the azonal factors, the central regions are divided into two subgroups: the main agricultural regions and those with suburban agriculture. The research has established Tendencies in changing the location of agricultural production. The authors have concluded that the main zone of commercial production of grain (except rye) and industrial crops (except fiber flax) is ...
Rural area as a peripheral zone: the verdict or potential
... regional authorities to work out programs for the regional development of peripheral territories characterized as backward areas with depopulation and population outflow, poor infrastructure, low incomes and high rates of unemployment. However, the suburban area is not homogeneous, and rural areas see one or another socio-economic problem arise. This article, based on the concept of the geodemographic situation using statistical data, considers the results of a sociological survey and field research,...
Demographic change in Germany and reversal of spatial ageing patterns
... forecast counties of urban core regions will undergo a slower ageing process than other types of counties, resulting in a reversal of ageing patterns. Urban core areas in this analysis will gain demographically from their net migration surplus while suburban housing locations of the past will be no longer able to attract enough young migrants to compensate for their now rapidly ageing baby boomer generation. The process presented is typical for the fate of (suburban) housing areas with homogenous ...
Population and settlement of the Kaliningrad region at the beginning of 2023

The authors reveal some territorial features of the demographic processes, such as the development of settlement polarization and suburbanization, as well as the fundamental geodemographic differences between the near suburban zone of Kaliningrad and less urbanized eastern municipalities. It is proposed to use the concept of the Unified Settlement System in the eastern parts of ...

Coastal and recreation landscape of Kaliningrad: modern potential and prospects for spatial development
The authors have conducted a comprehensive assessment of Kaliningrad suburban areas and identified the coastal landscape and recreation area within the ring road impact. Comprehensive analysis resulted in the typology of internal areas considering how favorable they can be for further recreation and tourism development....
Interregional and cross-country flows of labor resources in the Kaliningrad region: factors and vectors in the contemporary Eurasian context
... pressure by migrant workers remains below the national average. Intraregional migration is not dominated only by the centripetal forces, pulling the periphery's population into the Kaliningrad agglomeration, but also by centrifugal forces that determine suburbanization.

Changes in the Population Distribution and Transport Network of Saint Petersburg
... Model (MCA) and the Urban Network Analysis Tool for ArcGIS. The analysis of the population distribution in Saint Petersburg shows that each area of the city has seen their population grow over the last thirteen years. However, it is the population of suburban areas that increased the most. The core area of the city has the tendency of outward diffusion, and the population gravity centre has been moving northwards. Spatial characteristics of the population growth, changes in the population gravity ...
Urban planning of Russian urban districts: Practices, problems, solutions

The article emphasizes the necessity for the demarcation of suburban areas and their management. It is concluded that there is a need for the joint development of localities comprising urban agglomerations, as well as drawing up and implementing a single document describing the procedures of urban planning activities....

Rural municipalities were ranked according to these indices.
