Abstract EN

The concept of urban domination is one of the main concepts in the complex of the urban system, as it indicates the control of a large city or two cities in a region or state over all cities in a region or state, and this concept is related to population sizes and the amount of development and services.

In addition to its industrial, commercial and service importance for the region, and for that, these cities increase the polarization of the population from different environments, which increases the population and the multiplicity of its functions, and thus these cities have become dominant urban centers, having the largest percentage of the total population of the state and the total urban together, as it is.

The case in the cities of Baghdad and Basrah.

The state of urban expansion resulted in a state of imbalance in the size of these centers, which made some of them an urban center that dominates the rest of the other urban centers, and from here the research is exposed according to the application of some statistical indicators to know the imbalance in the distribution of the population of urban centers in Maysan Province during the period (1977-2019), which varies in terms of its population size, economic and commercial importance, and thus also clarifies the extent and size of the dominance of the city of architecture at the expense of other urban centers.
