PREREQUISITES AND RELEVANCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SETTLEMENT SYSTEM OF THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC AND SETTLEMENTS

Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the need to develop a settlement system for sustainable development of Kyrgyzstan, which is interconnected with the organization of settlements on the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic. To solve the problem of territorial asymmetry, possible ways of development of the settlement system have been investigated and proposed. The authors identified the main factors hindering the process of suburbanization in Kyrgyzstan: lack of comfortable and affordable housing, underdeveloped infrastructure and low living standards of the country's population. The prerequisites for the formation of rural and urban areas in the Kyrgyz Republic have been determined. Strengthening the interaction between urban and rural areas is highlighted among the basic principles of sustainable development of the settlement system; sustainable development of settlement systems, consisting in the balanced development of urbanized and natural-ecological frameworks; determination of the historically established directions of development of settlement systems and optimization of transport accessibility. According to the authors, the main approach to the development of the settlement system can be the formation of model development centers. In this connection, the priority task of urban planning policy at the state level is the formation of an innovative model for the development of rural and urban areas.
