Typology of the Jewish autonomous region settlements under investment projects

In the paper, an approach to the typology of the Jewish Autonomous region settlements under investment projects is proposed and tested. The authors study the projects effect on both rural and urban settlements. It is used the systematic approach which considers individual factors as the typology constituents. It has been identified 9 types of settlements characterized by their economy functional structure dynamics and demographic processes. The majority of settlements, where investment projects are being implemented, show stabilization of trends in the economic and demographic spheres, while maintaining their multi-functionality and trends of changes in the demographic sphere. In contrast, in the group of settlements where investment projects have not been implemented, 15% of municipalities are mono-functional. More than half of them are characterized by dramatic changes in demographic showings. No changes were observed in the level of anthropogenic load at the settlements.
