Abstract
The rural population than the urban population and the study area has three modes for the distribution of the population in the rural province of Diyala, a: 1 - linear pattern that appears in the form of a linear extension with rivers and streams transport routes. 2 - aggregate pattern appears in the form of communities to be on a regular basis. 3 - and widespread pattern appears in the form of a small population settlements and far between. either witnessed the relative distribution varied during the study period as well as the contrast between the administrative units in the province. and that the areas that have experienced high-density rural and agricultural focus and presence in those South of the study area and the reason is that the presence of soils fertile suitable for agricultural production and the presence of irrigation systems widespread in this part of the province and that has helped the roads Bmhamat canals of the River Diyala and its branches, which facilitated the transfer of crops to the consumer markets nearby, especially the capital, Baghdad. provided is the study of population distribution, and density, and the amount of pressure on the ground and the factors affecting those of the most important issues to geographers and that, due to its of great importance to highlight the relationship between people and their whereabouts, and is the study of population distribution and spatial density of things that attaches great importance to geographers may give rise to variations in the distribution of population among the various areas within the administrative units in the study area. has seen the distribution of rural population change over time due to changing environmental importance of the kinds of economic activities (1). and highlights the problem of the research problem that there are changes occurred in the distribution patterns of rural population in the study area, both numerical and relative distribution and Alkthafa. The hypothesis Vtntaleg of the study hypothesis is the presence of changes in the patterns of distribution of rural population in the study area and density during the period (1997 - 2007) The goal of research is to draw a true picture of the reality of spatial variation for the distribution of rural population in the area According to the study of administrative units. and knowledge of the spatial variation of the densities in the rural and agricultural province and administrative units. and that the conduct of research and its importance is in Diyala province, characterized by the importance of large agricultural and effective contribution in the Iraqi economy is therefore of key areas in the funding of the centers major consumer of food, as well as being areas that Hptha nature and Hobtha land fertile and wide-dominated status of extroversion relative, which facilitates the operations of agricultural and surface water, and collapsed under way, represented by the River Diyala and its branches and the Tigris River after the establishment of a pumping station pure as well as hundreds of pumps civil on the shoulder of the Tigris-east, which tells the territory of Diyala, including Khalis, which brought to the care and attention of relevant institutions and the establishment of many agricultural projects where especially during the nineties. The research methodology was adopted in this study the descriptive and analytical (quantitative) analysis of variance in the spatial distribution through the use of statistical methods for data and statistics available on level terms for the years and the basis of comparison. and the location of the study area represents the spatial limits of the search in Diyala province, which occupies the east central part of Iraq and is located between latitudes -33.3 and - 35.6 north and longitude -44.22 and - 45.56 E Thus, they represent the neighborhood with Iran to the east while the administrative border with the provinces of Baghdad, Salahaddin, while its western border is bordered to the north of Sulaimaniya and Salahuddin provinces, while bounded by Baghdad and Wasit from the south. Seen a map number (1) and divided the province (6) districts and (18) hand. Consider the map (2). The temporal boundaries of the research study has adopted the General Census of population for the year 1997 as base year and estimated data for 2007 for comparison
