Abstract
Population growth is one of the most prominent demographic phenomena in the modern era. It also indicates the dynamic characteristic of empowerment, the results of which are a basis that is strongly relied upon in economic, social, and future planning by knowing the population size because the population community is characterized by a dynamic (mathematical) nature, which led to the emergence of numerical increase or decrease. Therefore, there is no static population community. On this basis, Kufa District was chosen to collect the population, which is determined by a period of (1977-2020). The main objective of the study was to shed light on the fact of directing the population to Kufa District and the local teams, according to its affiliated districts, by reading the numerical distribution and the sabi in the district as a whole in addition to the environmental distribution, and then achieving this goal through the goal, the population was distributed and eliminated for that period in the district as a whole, but what the district witnessed in its increasing population size during the mentioned period, except that the treatment of growth in it varies temporally and spatially with the stages of building the city continuously, and thus continuing the process of filtering the population according to the administrative districts, in the district with an analysis of the reason for the difference in population growth between the administrative districts in the district, which leads to the variation in population variance Between urban and rural areas for all periods of time, and the research was conducted on a collection of statistical and planning methods and means through the processes of inventory, accuracy, observation, and all data from their sources and analysis.
As for the most important findings of the research:
- The study showed that the Kufa district witnessed a large, existing, humid, and continuous population throughout the study period (1977-2020). This growth was evident in the population registration record, and their growth was for a reason. While the population in 1977 reached what was based on (50,815 people), it became in 2020 what was (208,436 people) due to the impact of the natural increase due to the population's increasing population and another due to migration from other governorates of the country.
