FRACTALS AS A TOOL FOR REGIONAL PLANNING OF AGGLOMERATION’S SYSTEMS
The article describes the possibilities of using fractal theory in mathematical justification of approaches to planning of settlement systems, including urban agglomerations. The author proposed a classification model sintering systems based on fractal theory. Fractal approach allows us to consider the complex settler systems at different scales of spatial planning, while maintaining the logical unity of the entire facility. Fractals are the tool for integration of existing settlements in the agglomeration of education, thus avoiding the abolition of the so-called «Inefficient» settlements contributes to the diversification of the economy of agglomeration, stimulates a synergistic effect. Particularly relevant for agglomerations is to take advantage of the theory of fractals when arranged in a hierarchy of those settlement systems, which seem to be chaotic. Continued use of the elements of the fractal theory in relation to the settlement of the agglomeration systems will significantly improve the efficiency of their spatial planning.
