Summary/Abstract: Settlements in South Eastern Serbia (1439 in total) were anthropogeographically researched in past, mostly few decades ago. Some newer studies of settlements and origins of population, since the beginning of 90s until present, mostly have been treating the issues of particular settlements. Cvijic’s anthropogeographic conception, established in the early phase of development of scientific geography in Serbia at the end of 19th century, has been prevailing in the research of villages. In the research of urban settlements, modern complex geographical approach has been prevailing, neglecting the anthropogeographical attributes. The necessity of scientifically funded anthropogeographic knowledge on settlements, in this as well as in other areas of Serbia, is evident, both in science and in different fields of social practice. This knowledge would be based on traditional achievements of Serbian anthropogeographic school, as well as on contemporary achievements in the area of investigations of settlements.
