Features of the population settlement system in the regions of the China – Mongolia – Russia economic corridor

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the existing objective conditions and patterns of population distribution on the territory of the China – Mongolia – Russia economic corridor. The study area covers the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China (Inner Mongolia), the central aimags of Mongolia and the Baikal region (Russia). The settlement system of adjacent regions is highly differentiated in terms of natural and geographical conditions, the level of production development, socioeconomic development, and the state of infrastructure. The average population density of the study area is 10.1 people per km2: there are relatively low indicators in the Baikal region, 2.8 people per km2; 4.2 people per km2 are in the central regions of Mongolia, and 21.2 people per km2 are in Inner Mongolia. The highest population density is observed in areas where highways and railways pass. During the period under review (from 2000 to 2018), the indices of population change in adjacent regions amounted to 93.7% in Russia, 129.0% in Mongolia and 106.7% in China. In the study regions, the population lives mainly in cities and large settlements. In the Baikal region, the level of urbanization is 68.6%, in Mongolia – 67.8% and in Inner Mongolia – 62.7%. The growth of cities is mainly due to internal migration, especially in the Russian and Mongolian territories; the process of depopulation of the countryside is taking place.

“…Generally speaking, population movement refers to all movements of the population in space or geographical position, including population movement and migration. Population migration is the movement of people in the living environment, and it is a kind of population behavior with some spontaneity and relatively poor migration regularity [1][2][3]. Population migration is the movement of people across speci c geographical boundaries to change their permanent residence, which is usually a population behavior with the nature of selection.…”

Analysis of Settlements Patterns in Hatay Province

“…While the actualized economic corridor in China-Mongolia-Russia similarly improved the economy, tourism activities, and infrastructure, the population density increased in the surrounding of the transition development zone in Mongolia. (Osodoev & Zhamyanova, 2021). As generated trade axis triggered the population density, the settlement size and shape affect from it.…”
