Abstract

The article investigates the rural ethno-settlements, including rural groups and their population in the Shaki-Zagatala economic-geographical region. Un­doubtedly, the socioeconomic and political conditions in the country have in­fluenced the ethno-settlement at certain times. As a result of these socio­eco­nomic and political changes, namely migrations, the reduction in the demand for rural labors due to mechanisation, the intensification of manufacturing-economic, labor, transportation, and other differences among settlements while developing agro-industrial complexes, there has been an essential quan­tity and quality alteration in the rural ethno-settlement system of Azerbaijan. The emergence of such differences in the rural ethno-settlement system has paved the way for the overpopulation and depopulation of some villages and the increase in the emigration rate. For this reason, it is necessary to study the settlement of population and the effective territorial organisation of economy on a scientific basis in terms of the country’s territorial integrity, strategic fu­ture, multicultural values, and the sustainable advancement of regions.
