The study is aimed at developing a modern model of a rural settlement that corresponds to the socioeconomic conditions of the market economy in Kazakhstan and modern ideas about architectural planning solutions of an aesthetic nature. The proposed model will help researchers, experts, specialists in preparing recommendations for the development of rural settlements of various levels, depending on the administrative and economic significance, population size, national, regional characteristics. Villages at the present stage of development of Kazakhstan vary significantly both in importance (farm center, rural districts, etc.) and in population size (from 5,000 to 50 people), as well as in the status of territorial zones (residential and industrial zones).The study has allowed to:- reveal the dynamics of the development of rural settlements, their architectural and planning structure in time and space;- determine the dominant factor and priority approach to the formation of the architectural and planning structure of the village at each historical stage;- identify the reasons for the degradation of the architectural and planning structure of villages in the historical context;- define that the architectural and planning structure with the traditionally clear functional zoning of villages has been gradually replaced by diffuse-penetrating structure;- reveal that the mutual position of the main functional zones has changed, the production zone and the community center have undergone the greatest transformation;- develop a theoretical model of the formation of the architectural and planning structure of rural settlements; identify the main aspects and principles of its formation.
