Abstract
The article analyzes the planning structure of rural settlements in the Tobolsk province.
Purpose: The purpose of the work is to determine the location of historical buildings in rural areas of the Tobolsk province, their type and building morphology.
Methodology: Field surveys, analysis of historical normative documentation (Building code) and compilation of historical reference points based on topographic surveys.
Research findings: The identification of settlement types is based on the urban layout (riverine, lakeside and near-road) and four main systems (linear, fan-shaped, quarter and radial) of the building morphology. It is found that the morphology is often determined by the landscape. The influence of the Building code (1857, 1881, 1900) on the the built environment is confirmed. Regulations govern the layout, distances between houses, their height, street width, and the presence of commercial spaces, primarily for the purpose of fire safety.
Originality: For the first time, the analysis is given to the planning structure of villages of the Tobolsk province in terms of the location and morphology of building specific settlements.
