Abstract

From the late 1980s to the present, the “ceiling” of urbanization has been reached in the Oryol region—the share of the urban population is in the range of 62–66 %, around the city of Oryol, in rural areas, a large number of the population is concentrated, the number of which is growing. Often, in the territorial planning system, the area of contact between urban and rural territories is not distinguished in any way, the development strategy of this territory cannot have the expected result. In this regard, the main purpose of the work was an attempt to identify the suburban area of the city of Orel using the method of transport zoning, which is based on the analysis of transport communication. The method of transport zoning of suburban areas allows us to estimate the territorial concentration of the suburban population in individual parts of the district. Each zone differs in the transport conditions of settlement, including the conditions of transport service. The paper presents the result of the application of the methodology for identifying suburban areas as territories served by different modes of transport on the example of the city of Orel. Based on the assessment of the differentiation of transport mobility of the population, as the most important condition for the quality of life, the zoning of the suburb of Orel was carried out. Its structural zones are highlighted—the neighborhood of the city, the near suburb and the far suburb. To achieve the purpose of the study, data from the All-Russian population censuses, OpenStreetMap data, and field research information were used. Based on these data, maps were built in QGIS that visually display the phenomena under study, and the zoning of the Oryol Municipal District was carried out. The article also concludes that transport communication radically affects the settlement system of the population, demonstrates the tendency of settlement in areas with better transport links.
