Spatial mobility of the population represents an important demographic and geographical phenomenon of particular importance for science and various areas of social practice. In studies of the relations between the city and surroundings commuters and daily urban systems play an important role. Existence of larger settlements, centers of such systems, with significant variations in the internal spatial-functional organization, raises the question: where do these commuters actually go? In such cases, it is necessary to distinguish parts of the settlement that have a primary function of work center and others that have a dominant residential function. The process of settlement parts differentiation requires the use of not only commuting flows data, but also data on intra-settlement daily population mobility. The model of the spatial manifestation of the labor force daily mobility is a proven starting point for the research of daily urban systems. It contains the most important components for the population daily mobility analysis: demographic, functional and spatial. In this research, an adapted model was used for extracting and planning subsystems, where the core of the daily urban subsystem is only one part of the settlement. As a case study, the settlement of Belgrade (the capital and the most important settlement in the geosystem of Serbia) was taken, whose territory is administratively divided between ten city municipalities, which statistically can be viewed as separate entities. The model was tested on the basis of data from two consecutive Censuses, between which significant functional and demographic changes occurred in the observed territory. Accordingly, the spatial coverage of each of the ten daily urban subsystems, their hierarchy, the volume of daily labor mobility, as well as changes in the inter-census period, were analyzed.
