التمثيل الكارتوكرافي لخصائص السكان في قضاء بيجي بحسب التعداد العام للسكان والمساكن لعام 2024

Abstract

       The study reveals a clear spatial variation in population distribution across the administrative units of Baiji District, along with relative homogeneity in some demographic characteristics. The cartographic representation methods used to depict the population data for Baiji District proved effective in highlighting and visually analyzing these variations with high accuracy. The study found a clear population concentration in the center of Baiji District, which accounted for the largest percentage of the population 52.8%. This was reflected cartographically in the wider symbols and higher color values ​​compared to the other administrative units, due to the concentration of administrative, service, and economic activities there. Meanwhile, population densities decreased in other sub-districts, particularly Makhoul Sub-district. These groups appeared in the lower categories on the color gradient maps and proportional circles. The gender ratio maps (using divided circles and corporeal lines) showed a relative balance between males and females at the district level (99.3%), with slight spatial variations between administrative units. The Al-Hajjaj and Makhoul districts showed a relatively high percentage of males, reflected on the map by the width of the corresponding sectors, while the district center showed lower values. The age structure maps using double bars demonstrated the dominance of the productive age group (57.5%) in all administrative units.With the continued presence of the young age group in high proportions, a youthful demographic pattern was observed at the district level. The composite column maps of age dependency rates showed high dependency rates in Al-Hajjaj and Makhoul, compared to low rates in Al-Zawiya, which reflects a clear spatial variation in the dependency burden between the units Administrative district of Baiji.
