Abstract: Based on their functions, out of the different types of settlements, cities are those that are able to provide goods and services to their own population and also can serve the needs of other settlements. The relationship between the cities and their catchment areas a vary depending on the functions of the city. Urban functions are carried out by different institutions, thus their importance also varies based on how often they are solicited. The characteristic functions of a city are the services used the most often both by the inhabitants of the city and by the population of its catchment area. Connections between cities and their catchment settlements are formed by individuals making use of the city's services (homo oeconomicus) in order to satisfy their needs. In this paper we analyze the connections based on higher education services, representing the educational-cultural function; furthermore, we also examine the dynamics of these connections determined by the expansion of higher education
