metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Since the second half of the twentieth century, cities and regions worldwide have experienced
  depopulation due to the global economic and social transformation. Aging and natural population
  decline have becamebecome characteristic for Russia already in the late-Soviet period. In
  addition, the transition from state socialism to a variation of neoliberal capitalism with a change
  in rationality of economic development and governance has led to an intensification of internal
  migration flows. Against this background, the aim of the current article lies in a comparative
  analysis of the core main trends in the transformation of the regional settlement system and the
  response to these transformations proposed by the regional and municipal planning and policy
  in Russia. The research is carried out based on the example of Ivanovskaya oblast. By analyzing
  statistical and remote sensing data, the study highlights the general negative demographic
  trends in the region, intra-regional differences in these trends, as well as the results of their
  impact on the transformation of the settlement system pattern. Content analysis of normative
  documents makes it possible to reveal features of official policymaking and the planning agenda
  at the regional and municipal levels, which determine territorial development in the context of
  depopulation. Based on the results of the content analysis, the following conclusions are drawn.
  Firstly, there seems to be an incomplete or simplified understanding of dynamics, causes, and
  consequences of depopulation both at the regional and municipal levels. Secondly, coordination
  between different levels of governance in managing depopulation appears to be insufficient.
  Thirdly, regional authorities do not seem to “accept” the current demographic situation as the
  basic condition for forming a long-term scenario of the region’s development.
