What is the difference between a village and an urban-type settlement? See what "PGT" is in other dictionaries How to spell town with dots or not

• A settlement is one of the types of settlements in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

  A settlement is originally a small settlement located near a city, a main settlement, which arose mainly as a separation from the main settlement (dacha settlement, resort settlement), or arose around a railway station, factory, plant, etc. (working settlement: station settlement, factory settlement, gold mining settlement, etc.).

  Settlements are also called isolated parts of cities located on the outskirts or absorbed by the city, but not destroyed during mass development. Often, before joining the city, they were independent administrative units. In the hierarchy of the elements of the address, in this case, the village occupies an intermediate position between the urban area and the street, often equated to a microdistrict. In small inner-city settlements, sometimes there are no street names and houses are addressed according to their belonging to the village. In cities without division into districts or districts, it is the villages that act as structural units, and even at the level of administrations (distribution of cultural, educational, medical, social service institutions). The cities of the Kemerovo region Anzhero-Sudzhensk, Belovo, Kiselevsk, Prokopievsk consist exclusively of working mining settlements, grouped around a miniature urban center, usually located near the railway station.

  In Russian and Ukrainian legislation there is no clear definition of the term "village" and criteria for distinguishing a village from a village. Most often, settlements are called small settlements that had the historical name of a farm, a corner, fishing and summer cottages, and the like. Such settlements, as usual, administratively belong to a village council located in a larger village. Settlements in official documents and in everyday life are also called urban-type settlements (urban settlements), settlements located near a city or a factory, plant, and the like. The population of the village is usually up to 10,000 people.

  Unlike other settlements, a settlement can be of a rural or urban type. Accordingly, in statistical calculations, the population of rural-type settlements is included in the rural population, and urban-type settlements in the urban population.

  There are 3 types of such a settlement: workers' settlements (there are industrial enterprises, construction sites, railway junctions and other facilities on their territory); resort villages (designed for recreation and treatment); holiday villages (places of summer recreation for citizens).

In urban-type settlements during the Soviet period, the minimum number of inhabitants should be at least 3 thousand people (in the city - at least 12 thousand inhabitants). Often in such settlements there was only one main (“city-forming”) enterprise.

Simultaneously with the concept of "urban-type settlement", the term "working settlement" is also used. For the most part, these concepts (on the territory of the former RSFSR and modern Russia) are identical. At the same time, the scope of their use differs: an urban-type settlement is a geographical term denoting the type of settlement, and a workers' settlement (r.p.) is an administrative and economic concept.

Urban-type settlements in Russia

At present, there are no uniform criteria for the formation of urban-type settlements in Russia, this issue is within the jurisdiction of the subjects of the federation.

Rural settlement

Rural settlements

Unlike cities, urban-type settlements, rural settlements never have the status of an administrative-territorial unit, they are territorial units. They are divided into the following categories:

ü Agrotowns - this is a new type of settlements, the formation of which is associated with the implementation of the program for the revival and development of the village approved by the President for 2005-2010.

An agro-town is a well-maintained rural settlement, in which there are agricultural enterprises (collective farms), trade enterprises (shops), social and cultural facilities (school, library).

ü villages (There are no clear criteria for distinguishing a village from an agro-town. But a village is a less well-equipped settlement).

A village is a rural settlement that has trading enterprises, social or cultural facilities and is not classified as an agro-town.

ü Other rural settlements : villages, farms. A village is a larger SNP than a village.

Administrative-territorial units that are not settlements:

Region

The region is a large administrative-territorial unit, consisting of districts and cities of regional subordination.

Neither the Constitution nor other acts of the legislation of Belarus contain a list of regions, which means that the decision to form new regions, abolish existing ones, can be made by authorized state bodies (the President). The Constitution of the BSSR of 1978, on the contrary, contained an exhaustive list of regions of Belarus. Each region has an administrative center - a city of regional subordination (the center of the Minsk region is the capital).

Area

A district is an administrative-territorial unit consisting of village councils, cities of district subordination, and other territories.

There are about 20 districts in one region of the Republic today. The district has an administrative center, which can be a city or an urban-type settlement. There are 118 districts in Belarus today.

village councils

Village councils are administrative-territorial units, consisting of many rural settlements and the territory between them.

In the composition of one region of Belarus, on average, up to 10 village councils. The village council, in turn, can include up to 20 settlements. The village council as an administrative-territorial unit must be distinguished from the village council of deputies as a state body exercising power on the territory of the village council.

All administrative-territorial units are combined into several levels, each level reflects the scale and significance of the administrative-territorial unit. There are 3 levels of administrative-territorial units:

Regions and the city of Minsk, districts and village councils are always administrative-territorial units, since local councils of deputies and executive committees are created in them. As for the cities of regional subordination, cities of regional subordination, urban-type settlements, far from all of them have the status of administrative-territorial units. This status is granted only to those of them in which local councils of deputies and executive committees have been created. In the city of Khoiniki there is no city council of deputies and an executive committee, it is subject to the power of the Khoiniki district Council of deputies.

Historical and cultural heritage, according to UNESCO:

1. Arc Struve;

2. Mir Castle;

3. Nesvizh Castle;

4. Bialowieza Forest.

Of the more than 30 cities of regional subordination, less than half have the status of administrative-territorial units.

The procedure for resolving issues of administrative-territorial structure:

In practice, there may be a need to form new administrative-territorial units, abolish existing ones, rename them, change borders, etc. These are issues of administrative-territorial structure. The administrative-territorial structure affects the exercise of the powers of both republican and local state bodies, therefore, both of them are involved in resolving the issue of the administrative-territorial structure.

In this case, the President has the greatest amount of competence. Where he does not possess, I wonder!)) In particular, the President resolves issues of administrative-territorial structure in relation to administrative-territorial units of the 1st and 2nd levels. As a result, it is the President, for example, who can create a new region, abolish an existing one, change the boundaries of a district, or rename a city of regional subordination.

Regional Councils of Deputies resolve issues of administrative-territorial structure in relation to administrative-territorial units of the 3rd level.

Legislation defines the rule for renaming administrative-territorial units and territorial units:

1. Usually the name of administrative-territorial units should be unique. But exceptions are possible;

2. Renaming units is allowed only in exceptional cases;

3. Even in exceptional cases, it is forbidden to rename units whose name constitutes the historical cultural heritage of the country;

4. Renaming of avenues, streets, squares, other parts of settlements is carried out by the decision of the relevant Local Council of Deputies, taking into account the opinion of the population.

Before the reform, in which the current name was given to such administrative units, they were settlements.

In order for the settlement to have an urban type, certain nuances must be observed. One of them is that at least 85% of the population of a given point work in a non-agricultural sector. In addition, the number of urban-type settlements takes the average value between the number of people living in villages and cities. For example, earlier, at least 2,000 people in Ukraine and 3,000 in Russia were supposed to live in the town.

In the Federation, in addition to the standard name, in everyday life you can still hear other names: summer cottage, resort or work settlement. However, from a scientific point of view, the listed structural units are a division of the general concept of town.

Types of town

Even during the existence of the Russian SFSR, the classification procedures for the urban settlement were formed. Let's consider them below.

1. Resort towns. Such an urban-type settlement must have a population of at least 2,000 people. It necessarily has several medical institutions on its territory. At the same time, the number of vacationers should be at least half of the permanent residents.
2. Working village. An urban-type settlement must have at least 3,000 permanent residents. Of these, 85% were supposed to be involved in work at enterprises, in the railway sector, industrial, etc. Also, there are universities, schools and other educational institutions on the territory of the working town.
3. Country towns. Such an urban-type settlement is a territory that provides summer recreation or recreation services.

To date, most of the towns remain in their category since the days of the USSR. However, at the moment it is impossible to name exact criteria for classification, since they are not uniform. By the way, since the time of the RSFSR, the number of urban settlements has noticeably decreased (from 2100 units to 1900 units).

As of 2015, Sunzha is considered the largest in terms of population. The urban-type settlement (see photo below) is located in Ingushetia, and it is inhabited by more than 64 thousand people.

Sunzha

Sunzha is a town, which until 2015 was still considered a village. Before it was officially recognized as an urban-type settlement, it was considered the largest village in Russia and one of the largest in the whole world.

Being the largest urban settlement in the Russian Federation, throughout Ingushetia (including cities), Sunzha ranks second in terms of numbers. Every year there is an increase in population, which, perhaps, in the next fifty years will turn it into a small city, and then into a metropolis. The national composition is represented, of course, by Russians (less than 1%), Chechens (7%) and Ingush (90%). The rest are representatives of other minorities. It is worth noting that back in 2002 there were much more Chechens here - 50% of the total population, but by today this figure has declined sharply.

Considering the plan of the urban-type settlement, one can notice that on its territory there is an important object for the economy - a butter and cheese factory. There are also several schools, colleges and higher institutions (there are even universities).

Nakhabino

Nakhabino is a town located in the Moscow region. According to (and 40 thousand people live here), it ranks second in Russia. Until 2015, he was the leader for 4 years, but then lost to Sunzha.

Surprisingly, according to historical reports, the population of Nakhabino was constantly increasing. And to this day, there is an increase. It is not as large as we would like, but the very fact of the increase should please the local authorities.

The economy of this urban-type settlement is constantly improving. This is due to the presence of a railway depot, various factories operating in the industrial sector, and there is also a furniture production. Even some cities and larger urban-type settlements cannot boast such a developed economy.

Goryachevodsky

In the Stavropol Territory there is the third largest settlement in Russia. By the way, it is located on the river, which has the name Podkumok. Thanks to road bridges (there are three of them), Goryachevodsky connects with Pyatigorsk.

Until 2010, the population in the urban-type settlement was steadily increasing, but for several years now it has been declining. As of 2016, there are only a little more than 36 thousand inhabitants here. The national composition is as follows: Russians (68%), Armenians (18%), others (12%).

In 2010, it was Goryachevodsky who represented urban-type settlements in Russia, however, due to some factors, the population began to immigrate to other settlements of the state.

Volga

Privolzhsky, located in the Saratov region, is one of the largest urban settlements in Russia. As of 2015, a little less than 35 thousand people live in it. Recently, the dynamics of population change is incomprehensible: for several years it has increased, decreased and remained the same. Therefore, it is impossible to say for sure whether the number is declining or not.

The design of urban-type settlements is carried out in such a way that there is a territory for building up for schools and other educational institutions. Thus, there are 4 educational institutions and 9 kindergartens in Privolzhsky.

The title of a working settlement was awarded to it back in 1939 and to this day it remains so.

Yablonovsky

The Takhtamukaysky district (Adygea) includes the village of Yablonovsky, founded in 1888. A little more than 32 thousand people live here. Considering the national composition, it is necessary to mention Russians, Armenians, Ukrainians, Koreans.

The climate of this region is typical for the Russian Federation. Winter minimum -36°С, summer maximum +42°С. Precipitation is 700 mm per year. The urban-type settlement itself stands on the banks of the river. Kuban, opposite the notorious city of Krasnodar.

There are two markets in Yablonovsky that specialize in food sales. There is a Russian post office and branches of Sberbank. There are hospitals, a hospital, schools and kindergartens. A branch of one of the technological universities in Russia was built.

Tomilino

Another urban-type settlement located in the Moscow region. It is inhabited by 31 thousand people. Founded in 1894.

This settlement has a very good location on the part of the economy. Near it, on both sides, there is a railway, and he himself "stands" on one of the highways of Russia (highway P105).

Tomilino in the previous century became famous for its excellent nature and infrastructure. This allows us to call it a holiday village. people on permanent place residence is attracted by the fact of its proximity to Moscow and the Moscow Ring Road.

According to one version, the name appeared when the town passed into the possession of the merchant Tomilin.

Inozemtsevo

This resort town, located in the Stavropol Territory, has a population of 27 thousand people. The classification was assigned to him in 1959. Mostly Russians, Armenians and Greeks live here. Near the settlement there is a mountain called Beshtau.

Since 2010, the population began to decline sharply, which is observed to this day. As of the same period, it was revealed that men live in Inozemtsevo less than women, by almost 10%.

If we consider cellular communications, then there are 2G, 3G and 4G networks. This is a huge advantage that not all urban-type settlements in Russia have. There are also a sufficient number of kindergartens (6 pcs.), Schools (4 pcs.); there is a lyceum, an orphanage and two technical schools.

Vlasikha

Vlasikha, located in has a population of 25 thousand people. This urban-type settlement has a unique feature - until 2009 it was considered a closed military facility.

There are 8 schools of various profiles, 3 sports clubs and 2 houses of culture. Moreover, the city has its own TV channel. Previously (until 2008) there was a large shopping center in the village, but it burned down, and, unfortunately, to such an extent that it cannot be restored.
