Peculiarities of location of population and settlements on height zones in Sheki administrative region

Research reveals that the distribution of population and settlements in Azerbaijan's Sheki administrative region is significantly influenced by altitude, with higher concentrations observed in plains and middle mountain zones compared to highlands. This pattern emerges from an analysis of census data (1999-2019) and satellite imagery, highlighting how ecological and geographical conditions shape settlement intensity. The study underscores the spatial differentiation of settlements across altitude gradients, providing insights into human habitation dynamics in diverse landscapes.
