Abstract

To analize characteristics and set grouping of municipal units in rural area are the first two essential steps of rural planning. In this paper, I try to analize and a grouping them by means of principal component analysis and cluster analysis. I use the variables of land use, agriculture, dependence on urban areas. Six typical patterns are drawn out. The area is divided first by natural conditions, and next by human factors. It is divided independently on municipal boundaries.
