Summary/Abstract: The study draws on contemporary views of anthropogeography and offers some new treatments on its interpretation and development. It presents the basis and superstructure of the new geography of the economy and the related changes in the spatial development of the settlement network and cultural landscapes. These changes form also the regional problems of society. From this perspective, anthropogeography may be deemed to form the regional geography of human society. The study examined the uneven distribution of population on the territory, the reasons for such distribution and its social, economic, demographic and cultural issues in relation to existing geographical environment and resources necessary to carry out policies. Analyzed through this prism anthropogeography is the science of humans forming their economic, social, ecological living environment, which should be managed so as to be sustainable over time and space.
