Figure 7. Refined regional analysis of the Generalised Settlement Area (GSA) map: the total surface of the GSA per region in km2 (a); the share of the GSA within surface of each region (b); and the average population density per region (PD/Lm) and GSA (PD/GSA) surfaces depicted in violet and brown colour, respectively (c). An additional division of the Easter Europe region has been made (marked by (*) symbol) to identify the Russia contribution.
