Development goals, priorities and strategies need to be based on available (local) resources, which are identified as either comparative advantages or uniform development goals at certain planning level. Core development policies of the region take centrum-periphery theory as the primary approach in planning allocating development funds. In this paper authors developed four settlement clusters based on their local resources (HCSO, AC, T-STAR database, 44 variables, cross section 2018). Few Strong and capable cities (n=31) are accompanied by mainly Agricultural villages (n=155) and there are settlements (n=170) with Concentrated capacities. But majority of the region’s area (n=299) has Limited resources. The classification of the settlements can be used in gravity models that test the pull effect of central cities on the complex development of the surrounding settlements.
