At present, the commonly used partition modeling of population can reflect the spatial differences and dynamic changes of population distribution. Nevertheless, due to the limitations of methods and data, the population distribution indicators in multi-partition also need to be specifically optimized according to regional characteristics to improve the accuracy of population spatialization. Based on the geographical characteristics of the developing countries along the “Belt and Road”, the authors proposed four geographic partition of high-light plain area, high-light hilly area, low-light plain area and low-light hilly area, and optimized the modeling index of multi-divisional partition through the adjustment of population distribution indicators, fusion of functional area population index and some other means. Finally, Tajikistan was used as the study area to draw a 30 m population distribution map (TJK_POP), and TJK_POP was compared with modeling results of using a single index for each district (NTL_POP and HSI_POP) for verification. The results show that the mean relative error (MRE) of TJK_POP is 22.57%, of which the MRE of the four partition are 28.01%, 19.33%, 17.99%, and 24.97%, respectively. The accuracy is better than that of NTL_POP and HSI_POP. At the same time, TJK_POP reduces the interference of the flowing population of commercial land such as airports and factories on the actual population distribution. The optimization of population distribution indicators for multi-divisional partition in this paper also provides a reference for the study of population spatialization in other similar areas along the “Belt and Road”.
