Abstract
ملخص
تهدف هذه الدراسة للتــــــــــــعرف على تطور النظــــــــــــــــام الحضري في محافظة اربـــــــــــد للفترة 1961-2015م، وقياس مدى التغير في نسب سكان الحضر والتباين المكاني واتجاهاته. كما هدف البحث إلى التعرف على مدى ملائمة قاعدة الرتبة والحجم على مستوى التجمعات الحضرية في محافظة اربد، والكشف عن إذا ما كان هنالك هيمنة حضرية في النظام الحضري لمحافظة اربد. وقد استخدم البحث المنهج التاريخي والمنهج الوصفي التحليلي لمعالجة البيانات الديموغرافيّة بالأساليب والمعادلات الإحصائية مثل (نسبة الحضر، قاعدة زيبف "Zipf"، ودليل الهيمنة الحضرية). وأظهرت نتائج الدراسة أن أعداد المراكز الحضرية تطورت من مركزين حضريين عام 1961 ليصل إلى 68 مركزا حضريا للعام 2015، وتزايد نسبة سكان الحضر من 32% إلى 92.4 % لنفس الفترة الزمنية، ووجود مدينتين مهيمنتين هما مدينة الرمثا ومدينة اربد حسب قاعدة الهيمنة الحضرية، وأوصت الدراسة إلى ضرورة إعادة النظر في المعيار الإحصائي المعتمد للتمييز بين الريف والحضر، وتوجيه برامج التنمية نحو المدن التي شهدت معدلات نمو أكثر من غيرها كمدن ايدون والصريح وبيت راس.

Abstract
This research aimed at studying the development of the urban system in the Irbid governorate for the period 1961-2015, measuring the change in the percentage of urbanization and its spatial variation and trends. Besides, the suitability of rank and size rules was measured to detect whether the urbanization is predominant or not at the level of the settlement in the governorate of Irbid. In this research historical, descriptive and analytical approaches were used to process the demographic data based on the statistical equations (urban ratio, Zipf base, and urban domination index). The results showed that the number of urban settlement was increased from two urban centers in 1961 to 68 Centers in 2015. Furthermore, the percentage of popeulation living in urban settlements was increased from 32% to 92.4% within the study period. It has been found that Irbid and Ramtha are dominant cities based on the urban predominant rule. the study recommended that it is necessary to reconsider the statistical number which is used to separate between the rural and urban areas and also directing development programs to the cities that showed high growth rates such as: Audon, Sareeh, and Beit Ras.
