ИСТИНА

On the example of two economic-developed territories of Russia I would like to show you how could be estimated the strength of links between inner districts within the regions. These are Yaroslavl and Kursk regions in Russia. Each region has own specific scheme of territorial planning, specialization, density of population, natural and agricultural potential. They include districts are linked by sustainable geographical, historical, economic and social relationships. However the strength of the links is different from district to district. The most consolidated characteristic of these two developed regions is a large-scale transformation on their territories by economic changes and population dynamics in a relatively short period of time.
