Abstract

Abstract Reaching a well-adjusted population distribution is a major challenge for urban settlements. Various research works have been focusing on evaluating the demographic balance of urban systems worldwide. Regularities in population distribution among urban settlements have been noticed and confirmed by empirical studies in the contemporary era. These studies assert that both rank of a city in the demographic hierarchy and its population size are proportionally correlated in a balanced urban system. It has been proved that this correlation is established according to mathematical theories that have been scientifically identified and proved through in-depth research. This article aims to check the conformity of the population distribution of the Makkah Province to two main demographic, organisational theories. In this article, there will be an attempt to measure the variations, evaluate and assess the deviations, interpret the result thereof, and then compare the outcomes of the two methods applied on the Makkah Province.
评估城市系统平衡的麦加省人口统计分析
摘要实现调整良好的人口分布是城市住区面临的一大挑战。各种研究工作一直致力于评估世界各地城市系统的人口平衡。当代的实证研究已经注意到并证实了城市住区人口分布的规律。这些研究表明,在一个平衡的城市系统中,城市在人口结构中的排名和人口规模都成比例相关。事实证明,这种相关性是根据经过深入研究科学识别和证明的数学理论建立的。本文旨在检验麦加省人口分布与两种主要的人口统计学和组织理论的一致性。在本文中,将尝试测量差异,评估和评估偏差,解释其结果,然后比较在麦加省应用的两种方法的结果。

期刊介绍: Quaestiones Geographicae was established in 1974 as an annual journal of the Institute of Geography, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland. Its founder and first editor was Professor Stefan Kozarski. Initially the scope of the journal covered issues in both physical and socio-economic geography; since 1982, exclusively physical geography. In 2006 there appeared the idea of a return to the original conception of the journal, although in a somewhat modified organisational form. Quaestiones Geographicae publishes research results of wide interest in the following fields: •physical geography, •economic and human geography, •spatial management and planning,
