ASSESSMENT OF SETTLEMENT’S LOCATION IN THE SYSTEM OF KHARKIV CITY AGGLOMERATION BASED ON GRAPH THEORY
This article assesses the location of human settlements in Kharkiv urban agglomeration using graph theory. The conceptual features of the research topic are revealed; the measures of centrality, cohesion and form are defined among theoretical and graph measures. Attention is paid to the accessibility index; absolute and relative indicators are calculated and the central and peripheral locations of Kharkiv urban agglomeration are defined. The measures of connectedness of settlements and measures of forms of Kharkiv urban agglomeration are characterized; alpha, beta, and the fit-indices are calculated and the evaluation of the matrix of sequence neighborhood is made.
