The article analyzes the directions and intensity of rural population depopulation from the standpoint of its influence on the transformation of settlement in the Republic of Tatarstan from the 1970s to the present. Three periods of changes in the distribution of the rural population were identified: soviet (1970–1991), de-urbanization (1991–2000) and suburbanization (weakly expressed in the 2000s and clearly pronounced since the 2010s). The first period under consideration fell on the peak of the decline in the rural population, but the pole near the regional center depopulated less intensively than the distant periphery. The de-urbanization period did not have clear territorial trends in changes in the number of inhabitants. In the 2010s. There is a steady increase in the population in the areas of neighbors of the largest cities of the republic. A more detailed study showed that this increase is largely associated with the settlement of urban-type residential complexes. 1970 to 2019 the share of rural residents living in areas bordering the city of Kazan and Naberezhnye Chelny increased from 15.1 to 25%. Similar polarization processes are taking place at the municipal level. The period considered from 2002 to 2019 showed the process of increasing the share of the population of the administrative center from the total population of the district. In more than half of the cases, this process took place due to population growth in the centers of municipalities and the decline of the rest of the population. The population in other municipalities decreased in the administrative centers less intensively than outside them.

We studied the medical and demographic indicators in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) for the last 20 years (1998–2018). A decrease in the population by 4,7 % (р<0,01) was revealed in the Russian Federation in the period 1998–2008, 3,4 % decrease, followed by its growth by 2,8 % (р<0,01); a decrease in the number of rural population in the republic and an increase in the urban population were observed. By the beginning of 2019, in comparison with the 2003 data, an increase in the population by 1.9% (р<0,01), a decrease in the number of able-bodied people in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) at the beginning of 2019, as compared to 1998, were revealed, by 8,2 %, in the Russian Federation – by 4,7 % (р<0,01). In the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) the birth rate remains high, the mortality rate is relatively low, and the natural population growth is maintained.

The City

In December 1997, the Republic of Kazakhstan officially proclaimed that the city of Astana would be its new capital. The decision to transfer the seat of government from the city of Almaty in the south to the more centrally located Astana was connected to the process of nation building in a multi-ethnic society where the titular nation represents little more than half of the population. Efforts to transform the rather remote regional center, Akmola (later renamed Astana) into a modern capital city have been underway since the late 1990s. One important component of this transformation is the idea of building a “metabolic” and sustainable “Eurasian” city. As the symbolic center of the whole country, this new capital would function as a showpiece of Kazakh culture and identity. The city would also become a symbol of economic prosperity and the regime's geopolitical vision. While the government's intensions are expressed rather openly, it remains unclear to what extent these politically verbalized leitmotivs are actually being realized through contemporary architecture and structure. This article offers a critical assessment of what has been achieved to date and argues that the production of the new Kazakhstani capital has often failed to translate rhetoric into reality.

The study examined the relationship between agricultural land use and population growth rates from 1961 to 2018 in Nigeria. Secondary data were obtained from Food and Agricultural Organization and the World Bank. Descriptive statistics, trend equation and correlation analyses were used. Findings revealed that agricultural and arable land utilization grew at the rate of 0.62% and 0.72%, respectively per annum; while the total population growth rate stood at 2.57%. Also, urban and rural population grew at a rate of 4.75% and 1.67% respectively. In addition, the agricultural and arable land utilization rates had significant positive correlations with the total population, urban and rural population. Besides, the findings revealed that, agricultural land (to total land ratio) has continued to increase and currently averaged at 68.78% indicating massive land expansion put under agricultural used. Findings revealed that, most arable crop outputs increase majorly from land expansion rather than land productivity, a situation that cannot assure sustainable agricultural land use food security in a near future. Hence, the country needs agricultural land sparing policies and technologies to slow the current agricultural land expansion drive. Besides, the country’s agricultural land policies should focus on achieving land productivity and sustainable land-sharing strategies among major land users in the country. Again, the rural population growth rate is lower than the urban growth rate, implying that, the rural population is deteriorating with its probable negative effect on farm labour. This needs to be addressed urgently if the sustainable agricultural system is to be achieved in the near future in Nigeria.

The data of the 2002 population census on refugee population are analyzed in this paper with a basic aim to determine the significance (contribution) of refugee corpus in demographic development of the Republic of Serbia. By analyzing the data, it has been determined that the refugee corpus does not significantly differ from the domicile population in the basic, above all demographic and other qualitative characteristics. The differences which can be noticed with certain (primarily socio-economic) characteristics, due to the proportionally small participation of refugee persons in relation to the total (domicile) population, could not significantly influence the total demographic, socio-economic and other characteristics of the population of central Serbia and Vojvodina. The most significant contribution of refugee (classifying the refugee corpus in the country's total population) is reflected in the mitigation of the depopulation trend, namely population growth, not only both micro-entities, but also lower administrative-territorial entities (districts) depending on the enumerated refugee population in them. However, population projections indicate that by the middle of this century (2050) the positive effects of the basically larger number of inhabitants will be lost caused by the inflow of refugee population.

Abstract In this article we discuss and analyse changes in the sex-age structure of both the urban and the rural population of the Republic of Kazakhstan since independence (1991) and until 2013. Spatial analysis by age and sex was carried out for the urban and rural population of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article focuses on the population of Astana and Almaty as cities of “republican subordination”. The aim of this article is to study and analyse the sex-age structure of the total population taking the urban and rural population from 1991 to 2013 separately. For comparison and analysis of statistical data in the dynamics, the data by sex and age of the urban and rural population for 1991, 2001 and 2011 were examined. Thus changes over 10 years are considered. The age groups for which the data were collected were based on differentiation of the population by economic status: pre-working (0-14 years), working (15-64), and post-working age (over 65 years).

O trabalho analisa a diversidade recente (2000 a 2010) da população total do Estado da Bahia, das Microrregiões Geográficas, da população urbana, da população das cidades e da população rural segundo dados oficiais dos Censos Demográficos de 2000 e 2010. As análises demográficas foram espacializadas através da representação cartográfica que se baseia em classificação, priorizando as quebras naturais dos dados. O crescimento da população total do Estado de 7,27%, na última década (ou 0,70% a.a.), foi inferior ao da década anterior e inferior ao do Nordeste e do Brasil. A população urbana cresceu 15,16% (1,42% a.a.), a população das cidades, 14,59% (1,37% a.a.) e a população rural, -8,92% (-0,93% a.a.). As taxas são bastante diversificadas segundo as Microrregiões e os municípios. O crescimento das cidades médias foi superior, em seu conjunto, ao crescimento de Salvador e de sua Região Metropolitana, fato que ocorre pela primeira vez no Estado da Bahia, indicando uma importante redução da primazia da capital e da Região Metropolitana de Salvador. As mudanças em curso são de fundamental importância para orientar a formulação de políticas públicas mais eficientes e justas em toda a extensão do território baiano. Abstract POPULATION GROWTH IN THE STATE OF BAHIA, 2000 TO 2010: A STATISTICALCARTOGRAPHIC CONTRIBUTION The paper examines the recent diversity (2000 to 2010) of the total population of the State of Bahia, micro-regions, urban population, population of cities and the rural population. Official data from Brazilian Censuses of 2000 and 2010 were used. Demographic spatial analyses were produced through the cartographic representation based on natural breaks classification from data. The State’s total population growth of 7.27% in the last decade (or 0.70% p.a.), was lower than the previous decade and is lower than in the Northeast and in Brazil. The urban population grew 15.16% (1.42% p.a.), the population of cities, 14.59% (1.37% p.a.) and the rural population, -8.93% (-0.93% p.a.) The rates are quite diversified according to the micro-regions and municipalities. The average growth of cities was higher than the growth of Salvador and its metropolitan area. It is a fact which occurs for the first time in the State of Bahia and indicates an important reduction of the primacy of the capital and the metropolitan region of Salvador. Ongoing changes are of fundamental importance to guide the formulation of public policies more efficient and fair throughout the territory of Bahia.

Kigali is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Rwanda. The founding of the city is credited to Dr. Richard Kandt (b. 1867–d. 1918), who arrived in 1898 with the first German imperial delegation. In 1907 Kandt, as the German Kaiser’s representative, constructed a house and established residency at Kigali, in present-day Muhima sector. As the Rwandan royal court was at Nyanza in the southern part of the kingdom, Mwami Yuhi Musinga (b. 1893–d. 1944) initially asked Kandt not to establish a residency at Kigali, as he feared its location in the east-central region would allow the Germans more centralized control over the kingdom. Kandt did not comply, however, and established a residence on Nyarugenge Hill near to the present-day Gakinjiro market. Thereafter Kigali served as the administrative center for both the German and Belgian colonial administrations. With a central location between Tanzania, the Belgian Congo, Uganda, and Burundi, Kigali developed into an important commercial center frequented by trade caravans. In 1962, following Rwanda’s independence, Kigali became the formal capital. Throughout the first two presidencies of Grégoire Kayibanda (1962–1973) and Juvénal Habyarimana (1973–1994), Kigali remained a relatively small, obscure city as the country was being developed. The city first came to the wider world’s attention when Habyarimana’s plane was shot down by a missile as it approached Kigali International Airport on April 6, 1994, an event that triggered the start of the Rwandan genocide. In the ensuing months, forces under Paul Kagame, who would become president in 2000, advanced southward toward the city to end the killings and take control of the country. As a result, Kigali, like most of Rwanda, experienced considerable destruction. After securing power, Kagame and the ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), aided by considerable development money, rebuilt and transformed Kigali. The most momentous transformation occurred as the result of hundreds of thousands of Tutsi refugees who returned to Rwanda after years in exile. Since most of the refugees no longer had any ties to their rural places of origin, they took up residence and began new lives in the urban areas, most notably Kigali. In the years since, Kigali has undergone a remarkable transformation into a highly modern and cosmopolitan commercial hub, often touted as a model for urban development in Africa. Some refer to Kigali as the “Singapore of Africa.” Yet with a metropolitan population that roughly tripled between 1991 and 2001, burgeoning presently to over one million, developmental challenges remain in terms of health, sanitation, housing, economic inclusiveness, and urban planning. Anticipating continued robust growth, Kigali launched a 2008 Conceptual Master Plan for phased-in development to 2040.

One of the research tasks is aimed at determining the main economic structures in the modern villages of the region. The purpose of the article is to introduce the results of a mass questionnaire survey into scientific circulation. Results. The mass questionnaire survey allowed us to clarify the factors that influence various agricultural practices, the specific features of rural space, when the usual forms of management disappear and new outlines of the village appear. Personal subsidiary farm is an important source of income for the family. Half of the respondents will not change the intensity of work in their farmstead and are ready to expand it with an increase in wages and other social benefits. The author of the article using the self-esteem of villagers determined the marketability/non-marketability of family farms, entrepreneurial activity of smallholders, the presence/lack of motivation of the rural population to the maintenance of peasant farms (KFH). Diversity, types of employment in various fields, and income levels of the rural population determine the main changes in rural life. The results of the study revealed the most important problems of rural residents: lack of jobs, financial opportunities for farm development, availability of state support for farmers.
