Abstract
In Šakiai district municipality, 12 villages were eliminated from the Register of Addresses (507 in 2009 and 495 villages in 2017) during the period between the years 2009 and 2017. In Šakiai district, as in the whole of Lithuania, changes in demographic processes occur in a disadvantaged way – the population is decreasing, the society is aging, mortality is increasing. The analysis on the distribution of the population in Šakiai district during the period between the years 2011 and 2015 shows that in rural areas the number of inhabitants decreased by 1774 during four years, i.e. 8% of the total rural population. According to the data of the population census, after analyzing the population change in the cities and larger villages, it has been established that during the period between the years 1989 and 2011, in the eight small towns it decreased by 1091 inhabitants, i.e. almost 20%, and in 57 villages – 1915 inhabitants or 15%, of which four villages have fallen by more than 100 inhabitants [2]. A significant proportion of younger people go to bigger cities or travel abroad. The built-up area in Šakiai district is increasing marginally. This increase is much lower than in the municipality of the county center – the city of Marijampolė or in the neighboring municipalities of Kaunas County. The Šakiai district municipality's current master plan envisages concentrating the inhabitants of the district in 7 areas, providing for the construction of new residential houses, and developing infrastructure. Urbanization of territories is much more active near larger cities – Vilnius, Klaipėda, Kaunas, in part – Marijampolė, rather than in the analyzed municipality center – Šakiai city
The aim of this research is to analyse the change in depopulation of rural territories in Šakiai district municipality. The Šakiai district municipality territory planning documentation solutions, statistical data, scientific works, normative and other documents have been analyzed. Methods of information seeking, systematization, analysis and synthesis were used to achieve the purpose of the research. Growing cities have a great influence on the villages nearby, as neighboring villages grow along with cities, while remote villages disappear [1]. After the fulfilment of an overview of the documents on territory planning (including land use planning) it can be stated that a number of plans have been developed throughout the municipality, the main purpose of which is to create conditions for a permanent, motivated growth of quality of life. The master plan of Šakiai district municipality has been analyzed. This master plan seeks to concentrate the rural inhabitants of the district in 7 residential areas (construction of new residential houses) while developing the engineering infrastructure and public services [3]. It has been established that detailed plans and rural development land use planning projects do not have significant impact on the change of urbanized territories.
