Summary/Abstract: An absolutely essential component of any process developed to achieve social development is the spatial development planning. The population is the generating element of the initial pulse in the system of planning and the reason for being of the whole process. It is the element through which and for which the system works. The analysis of population issues must lead to specific conclusions and the formulation of scenarios with specific demographic forecast methods.
