Abstract: In this paper I discuss the „;system” and “network”; in this case the system and network of settlements - human agglomerations, as well as about the methods of analysis of the structure and utility infrastructure of individual settlements, towns and the City and their mutual influences, relationships and hierarchy. Neither the system nor the network are given categories, they are products of human activity in space and, hence, optimal routing and the development of agglomeration in a given area is one of the most important lever in guiding overall, and particularly the spatial development of certain communities. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, legaly, agglomeration levels are defined as: village, town and city. In addition, the spatial planning practice began to emerge the term „city-region” (district) which includes the spatial coverage of more „major” city characterized agglomerations and their surrounds, such as: Brčko with surrounds; Tuzla-Lukavac-Živinice; Travnik-Novi Travnik-Vitez; Zenica-Maglaj-Kakanj-Visoko. Properly designated settlement system is very important for the development of certain areas. This paper wishes to contribute to the research network of settlements for proper orientation of a planning application of selected area. The subject of designated usage of methodological analysis form is:
- the population of the settlements, town and city
- density of settlements, town and city
- functions of the settlements, town and city
- Size of gravitational zone,
- transport links,
- the rank and spatial functions of settlement
- level of centralization
On the example of Tuzla, the paper will present the methodological approach on analyzing the structure of the distribution of settlements.
Keywords: network of settlements, gravitational zone, rank and spatial functions of the settlement, a methodological approach on analyzing.
