Rural Settlement (Ukraine)
In Ukraine, the term "populated place" () refers to a structured component of the human settlement system, representing a stationary community within a territorially cohesive and compact area characterized by a significant concentration of population.

Urban-type Settlements In Ukraine
Urban-type settlement () was a type of administrative division for urban-like human settlements in Ukraine from 24 October 1925 through 26 January 2024. Following the reform, this type of settlement was reduced to rural status and all urban-type settlements were renamed as settlements. Per the Constitution of Ukraine, which was adopted in 1996, the only populated places listed are cities, settlements, and villages ( Article 133). There is no mention of "urban-type settlements" in the current Constitution. History In 1925, the designation of urban-type settlement was introduced into the classification system of the Soviet Union. This included the Ukrainian SSR, where it replaced the previous term "town" (). In Crimea, this type of settlement appeared after its transfer to the Ukrainian SSR in 1954 and until then similar settlements were known as resort settlements or workers' settlements.

Miasteczko
A ( or (, ) was a historical type of urban settlement similar to a market town in the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. After the partitions of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth at the end of the 18th century, these settlements became widespread in the Austrian, German and Russian empires. The vast majority of miasteczki had significant or even predominant Jewish populations; these are known in English under the Yiddish term ''shtetl''. Miasteczki had a special administrative status other than that of town or city. The meaning "small town" is somewhat misleading since some 19th-century shtetls, such as Berdychiv or Bohuslav, counted over 15,000 people. Therefore, after Russian authorities annexed parts of Poland-Lithuania (which included parts of modern Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, and Lithuania), they had difficulties in formally defining what a miasteczko is. Typically, miasteczki grew out of or remained private towns belonging to Polish-Lithuanian landlords, usually ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
