【 摘 要 】

Labor connections define the life of the city, the distribution of the centers of gravity, and the functioning of its main subsystems, the leading one being the transport subsystem. A methodology based on the analyzed models was developed to address the problems of forecasting and estimating the location of urban development areas. It is based on the study of human (city population) behavior patterns and the underlying nature of the choice of destinations. This allowed establishing the reason for the said choice and, consequently, the formation and direction of the movement of people and traffic. The study is constructed to reveal the trend of settlement (by labor gravitation) based on the effect of the desired choice of workplace location in relation to residence location. The results of the sociological survey allowed establishing the trend of settlement on the basis of the effect of the desired choice. The study discovered a correlation between the values characterizing the topological structure of the plan: a distinctive "scale of settlement" (average shortest distances between the settlement variant and workplace locations) and the internal heterogeneity of the plan (uneven concentration of facilities and their connections). This allows drafting settlement curves for cities without empirical data.
