This paper touches upon the regional settlement system as a tool for solving the main problems of territorial development of the Republic of Tyva. Revealing the economic content of this settlement requires one to focus on the settlement typologies, which makes it possible not only to estimate both the current level of socio-economic development of the region and the most important problems of a particular area, i. e., the problems related to the regional economy. Finally, the main attention is paid to the concept of developing a five-step hierarchical settlement system as a key solution to the most important and urgent regional problems: achieving the economically and socially well-balanced development of all territorial parts of the Republic and increas ing the level and living standards of the population.
