[Basic elements for demo-geographic regionalization]

The authors discuss the growth of the discipline of demo-geography. "Among the major theoretic and methodological issues of demogeography are the problems relating to regional distribution and classification of the population....By combining several geodemographic regionalizations...it is possible to acquire a new quality that is general geodemographic regionalization. This regionalization...may be used for formation of the base for general geographic regionalizations as an objective expression of the actual differentiation of the space observed into separate territorial complexes in which no element or segment is overemphasized."
