[Determination and presentation of the distribution of population by potentials and their trend areas].

"The paper aims at demonstrating two descriptive methods applied to the model depiction of [the] spatial distribution of population." The concept of population potentials is first discussed, and a two-dimensional picture of the population potential pattern is then developed with the aid of trend functions. Data are for the district of Querfurt in the German Democratic Republic. (summary in ENG, RUS)
