Abstract
Purpose: Settlements in Southern Siberia, identification of nodal points of urban development with respect to geological landscape conditions; identification of the relationship between the geological landscape structure and the settlement system in Southern Siberia, the location of town-forming centers; ways of the urban transformation.Methodology: River basin planning, which offers urban zoning of the territory in accordance with the river basins as well as the landscape-ecological approach to the spatial planning, which offers urban transformations in accordance with landscape areas. The method of nodal points is based on the ecological, economic, transport and communication significance on different territories affecting adjacent vast territories.Research findings: Geological landscape conditions, which determine the structure of natural and urban planning system of territories are significant for territories of Southern Siberia. Urban transformation in one of these nodes affects the development of the entire vast territory. The settlement potential in South of Siberia is determined and the urban planning algorithm is proposed for these territories.
