Today, one of the major challenges in sustainable socio-ec­o­no­mic develop­ment of the regions is the level of infrastructure development and the ap­pro­pri­ate assessment of its territorial organization. Over the past 20 years, certain im­provements have been ob­ser­ved in the infrastructure of the Shaki-Zagatala eco­nomic-geographical region, but there are disproportions between the ser­vi­ce sector and po­pu­lation growth rate and demand. Differences between city and village in all elements of the infrastructure continue to be the same as in the previous pe­ri­ods. This factor is observed by the migration of the population from villages to cities, as well as to other countries. In order to eliminate the prob­lem at least par­ti­ally, the internal differences infrastructure of the Sheki-Za­gatala region were de­ter­mined through modern and scientific geographical me­thods. Meantime, the population and the level of infrastructure provision were studied, the potential of the region was assessed, and the She­ki-Zagatala eco­nomic-geographical region was divided into three zones compliant to the level of development.
