- Title
- Population density available settlement area
- Abstract
A Population density is a basic indicator in evaluating the human pressure on space and in distinguishing between rural and urban areas (OECD 1994).
By using this indicator it is possible to depict processes of agglomeration and urbanisation. Throughout the whole Alpine Convention area, the average density is 73 people per sq. km Compared to the national values (e.g. Germany: 231.1 Inh./sq .km, Italy: 197.1 Inh./sq. km; EUROSTAT 2004), the Alps are one of the least populated regions in Europe. The distribution of the population density in the Alpine Convention area significantly reflects the topographical situation. Higher population densities occur along the alpine fringe and the foothills of the Alps. Numerous small centres have developed there. Due to the favorable site conditions the settlement comes into conflict with agricultural land use.
In contrast to the large intra-alpine valleys the peripheral alpine areas with poor accessibility are characterised by municipalities with low population density. These were found in areas close to the central mountain chain.
