Popis: | The main idea of this article is to investigate the correlation between the distance of the settlement from the city center on the one hand and the dynamics of the natural growth rate and net migration on the other, which would determine the range of positive demographic influence of the urban settlement on its immediate surroundings. In the analysis, mainly demographic and geographical methods were used, supplemented by the statistical method of simple linear correlation. The results show that the range of positive demographic influence of the urban settlement extends up to a distance of 12 kilometers for the rate of natural growth and 14 kilometers for the rate of net migration. The importance of distance for the rate of natural increase increased over time, while the importance of distance for the rate of net migration decreased. The correlation analysis confirmed a moderately strong inverse (negative) relationship between the distance of the settlement from the city center. The positive demographic influence of the urban settlement extends to the area North of the E-75 highway and the state road of the first B category (Belgrade - Požarevac) No. 33, which roughly coincides with the Danube belt of the Smederevo urban area, with the exception of settlements that are not characterized by transport transitivity and functional integration into the urban/municipal system. |
