Polycentric Suburban Zone of a Monocentric Agglomeration
The post-Soviet transformation has demonstrated that it is settlement pattern, rather than the distribution of productive forces, that have the greatest impact on the sustainability and socioeconomic development of a territory. Against this backdrop, the evolution of Moscow Oblast, associated with the increasing complexity of socioeconomic ties, increasing spatial contrasts, and expanding dacha suburbanization, requires changes in traditional app…
Geographical Studies of Migrants in Russian Cities
The rapid increase in the number of migrants during the post-Soviet period has led to the emergence of phenomena not typical of Soviet times in Russian cities, such as irregular migration, ethnic entrepreneurship, and interethnic conflicts. This has led to a significant increase in the interest of scientists from various fields in the study of migrants. Over the past few decades, migrants and their communities have gone from being a secondary top…
Second-Order Urban Agglomerations in the Moscow Region
In this article, based on data from mobile operators on the current flows of labor commuters, a delimitation of second-order urban agglomerations in the Moscow region was carried out using a graph-analytical approach that has not previously been used to study settlement systems. The authors’ methodology included the construction of a series of graphs and their processing using the Leiden clustering algorithm (with and without taking into account …
Housing Construction as a Factor in the Increase in Vulnerability of the Population of Large Cities to Natural and Technogenic Hazards
The aim of this study is to assess the degree of influence of commissioning of new large housing complexes on the main parameter of the Moscow population’s spatial vulnerability to natural and technogenic hazards: population density. The study represents a first attempt in Russian geography of natural and technogenic risk to link three types of data: housing construction, potential natural and technogenic threats, and dynamics of the actual popul…
Labor Mobility as an Indicator of Spatial Development of the Moscow Urban Agglomeration
Based on mobile network operator data, the territorial distribution and scale of various types of spatial labor mobility within the Moscow urban agglomeration were assessed. The emphasis is on daily and weekly pendulum labor migrations; otkhodniks and remotely employed citizens are also considered. It was revealed that a significant part of Moscow oblast is drawn into the labor market of the capital urban agglomeration through not daily, but week…
Foreign Migrants in the Moscow Agglomeration
Using mobile network operator data, the study analyzes the modern ethnic landscape of the Moscow agglomeration formed by foreign migrants. Their total number and monthly dynamics from October 2021 to October 2022 were analyzed. Foreigners’ main areas of residence were identified, the ethnic diversity of municipalities was assessed, and the main types of settlement pattern of national-ethnic communities were identified. The study showed that the t…
Temporary Mobility and Population Pulsations in Space of Post-Soviet Russia
The paper summarizes recent studies by Russian researchers on various types of temporary mobility and related population pulsations. It is shown that the practice of their study in Russia is in line with the key areas of research on the spatiotemporal population dynamics currently developing abroad. The methodology of work commuting studies is enriched, the first research studies on the event-related mobilities tend to appear. Forms of mobility s…
Official and “Real” Cities
This article considers methodological approaches to delimitation of cities and towns and criteria of such delimitation in the case of a large urban agglomeration based on the example of the Moscow metropolitan area. It is shown that despite some level of imprecision, mobile network operator data is a useful tool for identifying “real” cities and towns. The study uses a 500 × 500 m cell as a basic territorial unit, which helps to delineate the bor…
Moscow Dachas
The article presents the results of an analysis of the distribution and nature of the use of second suburban housing (second homes) in the Moscow capital region using an indicative approach based on data from mobile network operators. The research methodology included a multiscale analysis of fluctuations in the nighttime population in several marker time slices, which made it possible to indirectly estimate the usage scale of year-round and seas…
Methodological Approaches to the Delimitation of the Boundaries of the Moscow Agglomeration Based on Data from Mobile Network Operators
The article highlights the boundaries of the Moscow agglomeration and analyzes its spatial structure using approaches involving the concept of time geography. The study is based on a methodology for determining functional urban areas of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); mobile operators data on the localization of network users are applied. The analysis showed the impossibility of using the OECD methodology without…
