At the present time, the authorities of various levels, the basic documents of the country development, State and Federal target programs focus on the sustainable development of the rural areas. The Federal target program "Sustainable development of the rural areas for 2014-2017 and for the period until 2020" approved by the Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation of 15 July 2013 № 598 envisages the development of the regional and municipal programs of sustainable development. The carrying out of typology of municipal formations is one of the conditions of the development and the regional and municipal programs implementation. Because of the significant differentiation of the rural areas in terms of the economic development, the provision of social infrastructure to the population, investment activity, demographic and ecological potential of carrying out of typology of municipalities (municipal districts and rural settlements) assume great importance. The methods of a cluster analysis were used in order to determine the types of municipalities, the processing of data files on the status of the economic, demographic and ecological fields. The article provides the algorithm of carrying out of the typology of the rural areas and their typological assessment at the level of municipalities. In the process of work, the authors have defined a typology of 24 municipalities on the integrated indicators of the status of the agricultural sector of activity, demographic and ecological environment and the demographic potential of 167 rural settlements of the Orel region. The paper identifies the selected types of the municipal entities (administrative districts). Their integrated indicators were illustrated by the thematic maps. The results of the research were used while designing the sustainable development programs of the municipal districts of the Orel region. The definition of a typology of the municipalities may facilitate to enhance the quality of the programs of the sustainable development of the rural territories, as well as the efficiency of the utilization of their resources' provision.
