Abstract: The paper deals with the analysis of some aspects of changes in the biological structures of the population in 230 settlements of West Morava Valley, from the position of the type of settlement and the hypsometric zone to which they belong. Bearing in mind that there are significant height differences in the relief of West Morava Valley (144-1,321 m above sea level), its breakdown caused the regional differentiation of settlements according to the size and structures of the population living in them. The statistical analysis was performed in two time sections (1971 and 2011). The reason for this is that the 70s of the 20th century was the most dynamic socio-economic transformation of the studied region, caused by the impact of industrialization and urbanization. The results obtained during the research show that the aging of the population in West Morava Valley has reached such a level that it represents a first-class problem. In the analyzed forty-year period, the participation of the old population (60 and over) doubled (from 12.8% to 25.2%), while the aging index increased even three times (from 0.42 to 1.27). The population of West Morava Valley is in the stage of the deepest demographic age, with the difference that rural settlements at higher altitudes age much faster. The differences in the gender structure between the urban and rural settlements of the region are not so drastically expressed, but in both categories the dominance of the female contingent is evident.Key words: settlements, gender-age structure, hypsometric zones, population aging, regional development© 2022 Serbian Geographical Society, Belgrade, Serbia.This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Serbia.

- In search of an architectural genome of traditional houses: case of the
habitat of the Dechras of Arris
Authors: Samiha Aksas, Abida Hamouda
Pages: 27 - 44
Abstract: This paper investigates the traditional production process that defines the perfect symbiosis between the site, culture, and construction engineering lifestyle. Indeed, despite the limited means, ancient builders have erected collective edifices well adapted and suited to the occupants' needs. This study aims to assess ancient auressian clusters to investigate the relationship between space and the resident community and establish a reference cultural model. Therefore, Arris villages (Dechras) have been selected as it represents the earliest and most significant settlements in the Aurès region. This study is based on syntactic analysis of several traditional houses dispositions using qualitative and quantitative approach of Agraph and Depthmap sotware data processing. The spatial organization analysis findings outline numerous genotypic similarities and few discrepancies. Moreover, the outside is directly linked to the interior space by the yard, representing the divergence pole. The outdoor is rarely accessible by the roof (Skiffa) to enforce the domestic life introversion aspect.Key words: Dechras d’Arris, depthmap, genotype, traditional houses, space syntaxe© 2022 Serbian Geographical Society, Belgrade, Serbia.This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Serbia.

- The contribution of the road transport network to supporting development:
the case of the Wilaya of M'sila, Algeria
Authors: Hamza Bouzid, Abdelmadjid Bouder, Bilel Zerouali
Pages: 45 - 64
Abstract: The paper evaluates the development and the capacities of action of the road network, in particular, its degree of density and accessibility in specific years of 1998 and 2017, in the Wilaya of M'sila, (Algeria). This paper aims to understand the extent of the contribution of this network to support the development in this region. To identify the municipal socio-economic profile, 41 indicators were used, 6 to determine the road density, and 5 to measure the accessibility. After comparing the results in the previously specified years, it was found that there was an improvement in the density, which included 10 municipalities, accompanied by a clear and repeated positive development in 7 of the 41 development indicators in these 10 municipalities, in terms of accessibility, an improvement was noted in 7 municipalities, attached to 8 notable and repeated indicators. The results also showed that the spatial distribution of road networks does not present a clear trend, it does not necessarily tend towards a geographical dependence, where are the grand urban localities, or the lower rank localities. In addition, the contribution of road networks to socio-economic factors are sometimes absent, and when it is present, it varies according to the location or characteristics of the road network (density/accessibility). In the case of density, the support consisted of a decrease in migration rates, and a significant increase in birth rates, in addition to an improvement in economic indicators. However, in the case of accessibility, its contribution is somewhat different, since what distinguishes it is that it helps to attract facilities, to choose the best location.Key words: road network, transportation, density, accessibility, development, locality of M’Sila© 2022 Serbian Geographical Society, Belgrade, Serbia.This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Serbia.

- Trend analysis and prediction of temperature change in the continental,
Thailand
Authors: Nutthakarn Phumkokrux
Pages: 65 - 86
Abstract: Diurnal Temperature Range (DTR) is one of global warming indicator which using only Average daily minimum temperature (TMin) and Average daily maximum temperature (TMax) calculation. The study aims 1) to analyse trend of TMax, TMin and DTR over the early period of 21st century (1987 – 2020) and 2) to forecast and analyse trend of TMax, TMin and DTR over the mid and late period of 21st century (2021 – 2040 and 2041-2100) using MIROC5 (rcp85) model, cooperated with EQM Statistical downscaling method. TMax, TMin, and DTR trends all periods were investigated by Mann Kendall Trend Test and Sen’s slope, then presented in the form of spatial maps. The most TMax and TMin trends for all season and all regions tend to be increasing from year by year with the large increasing changed in Northern and Northeast region especially in Winter, except for the last period which had a large increasing in Summer. However, DTR trends were quietly fluctuated with the large decreasing changing in Eastern and Southern part, but the trends become to increase in the last period. A large DTR decreasing changing usually occurred in Winter and Rainy season. The TMax and TMin of all periods were expanding year by year and lead the DTR decrease in the first and second period, however, a changing of TMax and TMin rate leads DTR increase for the last period to be a good signal for heat transfer performance which help the earth cooling in night time.Key words: diurnal temperature range, climate, climate change, climate variability, climate of Thailand© 2022 Serbian Geographical Society, Belgrade, Serbia.This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Serbia.
