Abstract

The article deals with the theoretical and methodological foundations and concepts of the research of demographic behavior. The essence of the concept of "demographic behavior" as a system of interrelated activities and actions aimed at changing or maintaining the demographic condition of the subject, which may be individuals, families, small groups of the region, nation and so on was identified. Broadly speaking demographic behavior includes actions related to population reproduction (reproductive and matrimonial behavior), its migration and social mobility (migration, and social behavior) as well as its relation to their health (sanitary or greeting behavior). In the narrow sense to the demographic behavior refers marriage and reproductive behavior.

Determined that demographic behavior is studied by a number of sciences such as: demography, sociology, social psychology and law. Analyzed scientific approaches (social and philosophical, socio-cultural, normative, empirical, systemic, structural and functional, evolutionary, social realism of the conflict, social change, social theory postmodern, social, demographic, economic and demographic) to study the demographic situation and to defined their essence.

The role of socio-geographical approach to the study of demographic behavior was determined. Revealed that in the methodological approaches used in social geography, territory can be considered as a territorial system, characterized by integrity and the relationship between the main elements, typical socio-economic issues and trends and more. The interdisciplinary nature of modern demographic problems defines integrated nature of solutions to these problems.
