An analysis of a case study of north-east Spain (Aragón) (1900–2001) 2023 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The aim of this article is to investigate how the characteristics of the different types of human settlements explain their demographic dynamics and, therefore, which of these have been affected to a greater extent by depopulation processes. For this purpose, we analyse the evolution of the population of Aragón (north-east Spain) in the period 1900–2001, according to the different types of population settlements that exist. Our results show that access to public services has played an essential role, especially when the construction of the welfare state made the rural population feel that there was a penalty for residing in settlements with problems to access them. The main settlements, headquarters of the municipal administration, have had advantages over the secondary settlements. Finally, the scattered population was the most affected and, therefore, emigrated to a greater extent, until this form of residence practically disappeared. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/LMP92_21 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S40-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S55-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCINN-FEDER/PGC2018-095529-B-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCINN/PID2019-106822RB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 0.3 2023 HISTORY 166 / 525 = 0.316 2023 Q2 T1 0.151 2023 History 2023 Q2 Arts and Humanities (miscellaneous) 2023 Q3 Urban Studies 2023 Q3 Geography, Planning and Development 2023 Q4 0.7 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Gómez, Pablo Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-5504-1393 Pinilla, Vicente Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-2256-8898 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
