Dynamics of development of Ukrainian settlements and housing in the Republic of Moldova in time and space

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the main types of Ukrainian settlements and housing in the Republic of Moldova in the dynamics of their development over the centuries. Their regional features are identified, which depend primarily on natural and climatic and geographical, as well as socio–economic conditions. At the same time, regional features to a certain extent prevailed over ethnic ones, which is associated with the long–term cohabitation of Ukrainians with representatives of both the titular nation and other ethnic communities. But ethnic originality still takes place. The natural and geographical conditions of Moldova, despite its small extent, are distinguished by significant diversity. Of course, this could not but affect folk architecture, street layout and the settlement as a whole, the estate, the placement of the garden plot, outbuildings and housingin it. And the housing and utility complex itself has undergone serious transformations over many centuries. This was expressed in materials and construction techniques, and in the architecture of residential and utility rooms. Nowadays, the critical infrastructure of rural settlementshas seriously changed, new houses have become more spacious, more beautiful, more comfortable.
