Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: The behavior of the population is a basic datum to be taken into account in any of the studies to be considered and in any of the possible scenarios that may be represented from a future perspective. Therefore, when evaluating the present to act in the future, it is necessary to have enough information about the population, both to observe the behavior and real satisfaction of the social demand and to design an adequate economic and social policy that responds to the basic needs of the population that occupies and consumes the space. This is an investigation of quantitative type, in its methodological approach, through the use of census data of population considering the period 2001-2011. In the study of the municipalities located in the basin Guadiana population size categories apply. Also, the structure of the current population is examined and a predictive model of the evolution of the population in order of being able to rationally anticipate future trends in the populations analyzed were performed.
