Abstract
The article presents the analysis of the Belarusian rural settlement system
over the period of the years 1959?2009. Spatial and temporal shifts in the rural population
distribution and settlement structure were found, and types of the Belarusian rural
settlement pattern were developed. Distribution features and demographic development
of a new form of the Belarusian rural communities – agrotowns – were discovered.
