Abstract

In the research article, the author tried to connect conceptually the information about various priorities of different approaches to the concept of "framework" in architecture and town planning and to act with the philosophy of a uniform town-planning framework of the residential and work environment. The town-planning framework in his comprehension is multifactorial, multilevel and diverse, but as a result is the forming main carcass, a framework of the human habitat where dominant guides are labor, welfare, and recreation of the individual. Formation of a full-fledged habitat  ensuring optimum living conditions of the population is estimated in Azerbaijan as one of the priority areas of human rights and the achievement of sustainable urban development, as the basis of stability for the development of society and the State. Human needs and interests are considered essential in the Programs developed in Azerbaijan. Therefore, the State strictly adheres to the principles of management and conservation for future generations a rich natural heritage, such as sustainable and holistic human habitat. Thereby the vitality of cities in the country is provided by complexes of social, economic, environmental, urban, architectural and spatial, and communication and domestic conditions defining the quality of human habitat. To compare the system of resettlement of regions with the system of settlement of Azerbaijan as a whole, the author had to collect the relevant information and monitor the town-planning placement of facilities of the residential environment, and determine the distance between settlements and regional centers, and the average population of rural settlements. It was found that the density figures of the settlement of localities by regions are lower than the average for the country.
