GARDENING AND DACHA COMMUNITIES OF URBAN DWELLERS IN THE SETTLEMENT SYSTEM.
Abstract
The role of gardening, dacha and cottage settlements of urban dwellers which lack the official settlement status in the deformation of the rural system in suburban and remote areas of the regions of the Non-Chernozem part ofRussiais discussed. In the absence of reliable statistics (or problems with getting it for municipal level) the use of space imagery and the analysis of maps showing the location of recreational settlements becomes an important instrument of research. Basing on the comparison of official statistical data and the results of space imagery interpretation (number of non-registered settlements outside the settlement areas and the number of land parcels within them) the ratio and territorial distribution of possible seasonal urban population outside the official settlements were assessed in relation to the local rural population. It is shown that a parallel settlement network with the pulsing population is formed beyond the borders of settlements and it is not recorded by statistics. In theMoscowandLeningradoblasts, and in the regions with pronounced rural depopulation these unofficial settlements sometimes exceed surrounding villages in population numbers. This considerably deforms the existing system of rural settlement, both within the agglomerations, and far beyond their borders, thus requiring new approaches to its analysis.
