And in neighboring Udmurtia there is a city or urban-type settlement Uva. And the adjective answering exactly the same question is Uvinsky. Why is the letter “m” in one case and “n” in the other?

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

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

    Settlements are also called isolated parts of cities that are 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 address elements, in this case the village occupies an intermediate place between an urban area and a street, and is often equated to a microdistrict. In small inner-city villages, 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, even at the administrative level (distribution of cultural institutions, education, medicine, social services). Cities Kemerovo region Anzhero-Sudzhensk, Belovo, Kiselevsk, Prokopyevsk consist exclusively of working mining villages, 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 town from a village. Most often, small settlements that had the historical name of a farm, a corner, a fishing and holiday village, and the like are called villages. Such villages usually belong administratively to a village council located in a larger village. In official documents and in everyday life, settlements are also called urban-type settlements (urban-type settlements), settlements located near a city or a factory, factory, etc. 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 are included in the urban population.

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

ü Urban villages (Krasnoselsky, Shumilino, Ostrovets, Radashkovichi, Krasnopolye, Mikashevichi, Lelchitsy).

An urban village is a populated area where more than 3 thousand people live, industrial and other enterprises, social and cultural facilities are located.

ü Resort villages (Only 1 – Naroch).

Resort village is a populated area where at least 2,000 residents live and there are sanatoriums, rest homes, boarding houses, and businesses.

ü Workers' settlements (Elizovo, there is a glass factory there).

Workers' settlement – this is a populated area where at least 500 people live and which is located near large enterprises, construction sites, power plants, etc.

We have a new concept: agricultural towns.

Test (for admission to graduate school):

Agrotown is:

1) city

2) urban village

Rural settlement

Rural settlements

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

ü Agrotowns - This the new kind settlements, the formation of which is associated with the implementation of the program for the revival and development of rural areas for 2005-2010, approved by the President.

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

ü Villages (There are no clear criteria for distinguishing a village from an agricultural town. But a village is a less developed settlement).

A village is a rural settlement in which there are trading enterprises, social or cultural facilities and is not classified as an agricultural town.

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

Administrative-territorial units that are not populated areas:

Region

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

Neither the Constitution nor other acts of legislation of Belarus contain a list of regions, which means that decisions on the formation of new regions or the abolition of 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 regional subordination, and other territories.

Today, one region of the Republic includes approximately 20 districts. 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.

On average, one district of Belarus contains 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 that exercises 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 cities of regional subordination, cities of regional subordination, urban-type settlements, not all of them have the status of administrative-territorial units. This status is given 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 executive committee; the power of the Khoiniki district Council of deputies extends to it.

Historical and cultural heritage, according to UNESCO:

1. Struve Arc;

2. Mir Castle;

3. Nesvizh Castle;

4. Belovezhskaya Pushcha.

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

The procedure for resolving administrative issues territorial structure:

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

The President has the greatest amount of competence. Where he doesn’t have it, I’m interested!)) In particular, the President resolves issues of administrative-territorial structure in relation to administrative-territorial units of the 1st and 2nd level. 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.

The legislation determines the rule for renaming administrative-territorial units and territorial units:

1. Typically, the names of administrative-territorial units must be unique. But exceptions are possible;

2. Renaming units is allowed only in exceptional cases;

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

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


I wondered about, it seems, PGT Yantarny Kaliningrad region- after all village or urban type? There seems to be no contradiction, but what is curious here is that settlements in this category are simultaneously called villages and are the centers of “urban districts” or “urban settlements.” If you at least open an article on Wikipedia about, for example, the village of Idritsa in the Pskov region (in the photo below, by the way, it is he), then you can read that, being a village, it “is the center municipality urban settlement "Idritsa"

Of course, there are a huge variety of types of settlements. It is enough at least that a village, a village and a town are different things. However, even from the point of view of legislation, they are in the same category (rural settlements), and there are only three of these categories. PGT legally, on the one hand, belong to urban settlements ("urban type"), and their residents, for example, do not have the benefits granted to rural residents, and on the other hand, they remain an "intermediate link". An interesting question arises: what should we call PGT in everyday life? For example, when you write a report about his visit. With villages/villages and cities, everything is clear - there is one short word that fits perfectly into the text or into colloquial speech. But texts with a rather awkward three-word term in the spirit of “I walked through this picturesque urban village” already somewhat complicate perception. Replacing it with the abbreviation “PGT” does not solve the problem either. Actually, the question is not even that, but what is PGT? village or still town?

And it seems that the answer to this question is individual in each case, and depends on how they think local residents. As I happened to experience experimentally, residents of some urban-type settlements say “my village” about their locality, and “my town” in others. The motives for this may be different, but as a rule, this is history (due to what it arose, whether it had the status of a city or village in the past) or size (population). If I haven’t come across such references to a particular urban settlement from its residents, then I try to determine it myself - intuitively (is the atmosphere felt in the locality? small town, or a village) and based on history and size. In most cases, I still call urban settlements villages (since the criteria are suitable), but there is a small percentage of them that feel more like small towns. These are, firstly, those that were cities in the past (including, and even in most cases, before the revolution), and secondly, those whose population exceeds approximately 7-8 thousand people (at the same time These two criteria are independent of each other).

The list of those urban settlements I visited that I remember as small towns is quite small. Perhaps this is: based on the status of a city in the past - Kresttsy and Demyansk in the Novgorod region, Berezovo in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, Kolyvan in Novosibirsk region; on the basis of a fairly high population - Roshchino and Sovetsky in Leningrad region(both in the Vyborg region, 14 thousand and 7 thousand inhabitants, respectively), Plesetsk in the Arkhangelsk region (10 thousand), Maksatikha in Tverskaya (8 thousand). There may be individual exceptions to this rule - for example, Loknya in the Pskov region seemed more like a small town to me than a village, apparently due to large quantities apartment buildings, as well as a trolleybus, despite the fact that only 3 and a half thousand people live there (however, this discrepancy is probably explained by the fact that at the time of the collapse of the USSR there were six thousand - Loknya is one of the record holders for population decline in the Pskov region) . Another interesting example is Palekh in the Ivanovo region, which generally seems more like a large village (however, historically it was just a village); I remember Lyubitino in the Novgorod region in a similar way. It's probably not full list, and some other examples may come to mind later. And in absentia (that is, from those where I have not yet visited) to the list of “urban urban centers” based on urban status in the past, I would include Odoev in Tula region and Lalsk in Kirovskaya (it is likely that some examples will also come to mind).

Of course, we should not forget that the official status of a settlement is not assigned to it forever, and can be changed at any time. In this regard, over the past quarter century, a number of urban-type settlements (for some reason, a particularly high percentage of these in Karelia) have lost this status, becoming simply rural settlements. That's why they happen objective reasons, and basically it's depopulation.

In general, since the above is about my personal perception, then everything said is my subjective assessment, and regarding, for example, Maksatikha or Lalsk, someone may disagree with me. However, examples of the use of the word “city” or “town” in relation to urban-type settlements are still sometimes found. And the question" village or urban type"To some extent even cultural.
