Sokolov A.A. ANALYSIS OF SPATIO-TEMPORAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SETTLEMENT IN KEY REGIONS OF THE STEPPE ZONE OF RUSSIAThe vast majority of modern research steppe on its natural component, the socio-ecological character is given very little attention by any of the generalized work for the steppe zone of Russia in General do not exist, therefore it is advisable to at least partially overcome this gap. In the article, a study of the spatial and temporal peculiarities of the settlement structure of different sectors of the steppe zone of Russia. The analysis of change of population of the Orenburg, Saratov and Rostov regions in the period from 1989 to 2016. The result revealed that urbanization in key regions of the steppe zone of Russia over the past quarter century is twofold. On the one hand the total number of cities and their total population increased, significantly increased the role of the largest and large cities. On the other hand the majority of medium and small cities are in a state of prolonged stagnation. Of the 53 cities in the study area only in 15 observed population growth. In the four largest cities is home to about half of the urban population of the steppe zone of Russia — 48 %, while in 49 large, medium and small cities is home to 52 %. Dedicated mezoregions reflect the scale of the steppe zone of Russia territory population growth and decline. The most actively developing cities of the Rostov agglomeration and West of the Orenburg Matryona. Everywhere are losing the population of the city of Dono-Manychskaya, East of Saratov and Orenburg mezoregions. At the present stage the network of cities in the regions of the steppe zone is changing — already evident areas “urban failures” that arose from the same on the entire territory of the country of the reasons is the unbalanced economic development in the region, the cessation of the functioning of entire industries led to depression in the social sphere, which was immediately reflected in the demographics.Key words: steppe zone, urbanization, city, agglomeration, urban population, classification of cities, territorial development, population distribution, the reference frame of settlement.
