TRANSFORMATION OF RURAL SETTLEMENT SYSTEM IN THE OLD-DEVELOPED NON-CHERNOZEM AREA (FROM THE END OF THE 19TH TO THE BEGINNING OF THE 21ST CENTURY)
Abstract
Basing on the case study of the Stepurino rural municipality (Staritsa raion of the Tver oblast), the main changes of population numbers, functions and links between settlements at different historical stages were analyzed. The municipality is an example of the old-developed non-Chernozem area. Models of rural settlement systems which are typical for pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet periods are proposed. It is shown that the radical changes in socio-economic life and the mass depopulation decreased the diversity of functions in rural settlements and weakened the links between them. The conclusion about the disorganization of modern rural settlement systems is made, the first and foremost manifestation of the process being the decreasing number of local centers. Along with the isolation of settlements excluded from the local links, the links with large external centers become stronger due to regular labor migration of the population.
