Abstract

Pravilo "reda veličine" naselja u Srbiji – prilog za ocenu policentričnosti prostornog razvoja / Apstrakt: Pravilo „reda veličine” ukazuje da je demografska veličina svakog urbanog centra neke teritorije determinisana veličinom najvećeg grada i rangom tog centra unutar skupa svih gradova posmatrane teritorije. Ovim radom se ispituje da li ovo pravilo postoji i u distribuciji zaposlenih i investicija u naseljskom sistemu. Rezultati treba da pruže uvid u stepen dominacije glavnog grada ili više gradova, zastupljenost malih i srednjih gradova ili uravnoteženost urbanog sistema zemlje. Cilj rada je da pokaže da li tendencije u razvoju urbane mreže na nacionalnom nivou vode ka policentričnom sistemu gradova, što se smatra jednim od prioriteta prostornog razvoja.

A Rank Size Rule in Urban System in Serbia – Contribution to the Discussion of Polycentricity / Abstract: The rank-size rule shows that the size of the urban centre of a territory is determined by the population size of the largest city and rank of each ciiy within the set of all cities at a certain territory. This paper examines whether this rule exists in the distribution of employment and investment in the settlement system. The results should provide insight of rank-size distributions of city sizes, from city-primate, or more cities, representation of small and medium-sized cities, as well as the balance of urban system of the country. The aim of this paper is to show whether tendencies in the development of the urban network at national level leading to a polycentric system of cities, which is considered one of the priorities of spatial development.
