Abstract

In this working paper, the current situation in the mountainous villages of the eastern part of Georgia, as well as urban-social and economic development potential and others, is studied. Mountainous villages need some fundamental functional planning and structural changes. It is noted that when deciding urban-social and architectural-planning questions, natural-climatic factors’ complexes should be considered: Difficult relief, its shape, its inclination and articulation, its climate and landscape variability by the vertical zoning, etc. In this work paper, we discuss the development problems of mountainous regions. Nowadays, there are severe problems in the mountainous villages: Lack of land, less competition, and technological backwardness of agricultural products. In winter, this area is almost empty of its difficult environmental conditions. Foreign experiences have been studied to plan the mountain settlements and formation-development principles, which could be used for the destination of architectural planning development in the mountainous part of east Georgia. It has been determined that it’s essential to form the mountainous regions as the general urban area to develop agriculture recreation and industry as well as agriculture recreation and tourism. According to the united urban planning development tendencies, development principles have been formed step by
step in the mountainous inhabited regions in the eastern part of Georgia.
