Abstract

Using data of mobile operators spatial-temporal pulsations of the settlement system of the MCR have been studied. Within the framework of the Chrono-geographical concept the analysis of the population of the territorial subsystems of settlement structure of the Moscow agglomeration in key time slices – pacemakers – has been carried out. The scale of population pulsations in the context of the belt structure of MCR has been estimated. In addition, the comparative characteristic of the constant population has been done according to the data of mobile operators and official statistics. As a result, a significant overstatement of the population of Moscow with its equivalent understatement in the Moscow region has been found. Also the reasons of the revealed discrepancies for various elements of the zonal-belt structure of both regions have been explained.
