The river flows parallel to the Velika Morava river as its satellite flow, in the Morava's floodplain, so there are no settlements on the Resavica itself, but several large villages are located in its valley (Porodin, Žabari, Simićevo, Aleksandrovac Požarevački, Vlaški Do, Poljana), all of them located on the Požarevac-Svilajnac road, parallel to the river, but few kilometers to the east.
