Popis:	The paper defines factors and methods of studying spatial sprawl of Belgorod and Stary Oskol-Gubkin metropolitan areas. A differentiation of population dynamics in Belgorod regional settlement system is made. Built-up areas are found to occupy larger territories and display a higher development density, while the population size in metropolitan areas does not change significantly. Growth promoting factors and growth specifics are revealed, territorial disparities of built-up metropolitan areas are analyzed; a retrospective assessment of the population density in the settlement system is provided. A study of the population distribution pattern shows that the population tends to be strongly oriented toward core areas. The territories under study were mapped with ArcGIS 10.5. tools.
