Dynamics and Location of the Population in Ulaanbaatar: Intradistrict Analysis

Abstract

Currently, the development of modern cities creates the need for a balanced development of inner-city territorial spaces. The problem of unbalanced urban development in Ulaanbaatar is now particularly acute. There is a colossal intraurban differentiation of many factors, including the dynamics and location of the population, the degree of territory settlement, availability of infrastructure facilities, transport accessibility, etc. The authors present their study results, emphasizing the importance of spatial intradistrict analysis. First, the results serve as basic and primary indicators for the continuation of further scientific microdistrict research; second, they have a great practical orientation associated with the possibility of using them for making informed management decisions, in particular, for the prompt identification of priority problems, constraints and development reserves (including promising territories). In this work, various thematic maps have been created and areas have been identified by building types with a detailed analysis of spatial dynamics and population placement. A detailed analysis revealed the relationship between these factors. We have combined all the cartographic and statistical materials we have obtained into a single geoinformation system that allows us to conduct spatial data analysis and gain new knowledge at different levels. In this article, we tried to carry out zoning and identify some dependence of population dynamics from building types. Zoning is based on the study of spatial dynamics and population distribution and an analysis of the features and nature of the building.
