Defining economic, social and demographic perspectives of cities and rural settlements is considered to be one of important issues to-day. Human clusters with strong economic and social base have potential for sustainable demographic development. In this regard, these settlements pass from one classification group to another. Rural settlements situated in unfavorable natural and geographic condition and mountainous areas, face challenges related to management of agricultural works and rendering medical service to people.
Weak economic and social base impedes development of cities and rural areas in Nakhchyvan AR. Challenges concerning providing employment cause human migration to be more intensive. From this view, improvement of economic structure of human clusters, development of labor-consuming agricultural enterprises, and improvement of service areas are very necessary issues.
