The article presents a vision of urbanization processes in the daily life of rural residents at the regional level. The methods of studying the processes of urbanization in the daily life of rural residents were: analysis of approaches to solving the problems of urbanization on the example of the Strategy for Socio-economic Development of the Stavropol Territory until 2035, taking into account a review of publications of scientists in scientometric databases; analysis of statistical data characterizing the vital activity of the urban and rural population of the Stavropol Territory; analysis of the results of a questionnaire survey of the population. The study found that a scientific discussion of various aspects of urbanization of rural residents confirms the relevance of the topic and shows approaches to solving problems of improving the quality, comfort and query of residents on the characteristics of the living environment. There is a certain lag in the comfort of the environment for the daily life of citizens living in rural areas compared to urban areas. This position is articulated at the level of understanding and the desire of residents to the best forms and models of environmental comfort. In the Strategy for Socio-economic Development of the Stavropol Territory in the period up to 2035 and other program documents for the development of the region, it is given much attention to the topic of complex transformations of rural settlements, both at the level of target indicators and in the concretization of measures to achieve them. The positive dynamics of the processes of urbanization in the life of rural residents is monitored in terms of satisfaction with the comfort of living in settlements and target indicators of strategic documents of the territories and the region as a whole.
