The key concepts for the Caucasus are its landscapes or Geosystems . They are formed as a result of interference , overlap many physiographic factors and are reflected in the nature of human activity in a particular landscape. In very general terms , this expression finds its reflection in the distribution of population and land use types . Of course , it causes many economic and social phenomena . However, to cover all of these economic and social phenomena is simply impossible because of the vast amount of material . In everyday life and in professional geography frequently used words such as mountains or plains , steppes and forests, humid or wet areas , etc. Caucasus - a mountainous or flat country here subtropical or desert, how many people live in mountainous areas , forests, and so forth? Actually these key concepts and characterize the organization of the territory . Therefore, when considering the organization of space , we decided to stop the Caucasus in organizing the distribution of population and land fund for the Caucasus on such basic units as the mountains and plains, subtropical areas , temperate forests , grasslands , deserts and semi-deserts, high mountains , as well as the Caucasus countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia , Russia ( edge and autonomy of the North Caucasus ) . Here we used a landscape approach as the best way of organizing this space and how that natural ( natural ) basis , which shows the distribution of the population and dictates the nature and use of the territory .
