The function of a settlement in Geography is its main economic activity or purpose.

The seven urban-type settlements in Russia are: cities (gorod), urban-type settlements (selo), workers' settlements (rabochiy poselok), rural settlements (selsovet), town-type settlements (poselok), administrative centers (administrativny tsentr), and industrial settlements (promyshlennyy poselok). Each type serves distinct functions and has varying levels of infrastructure and population density. These classifications help in urban planning and governance across the vast territory of Russia.
Many settlements around the world have found that their functions have had to change over time. One such example is that of small farming villages finding that their residents are moving out to find jobs in the cities. This leaves the village empty, apart from the older population. The village then may become a retirement centre, or commuters may move in and it could become a commuter village. Two good examples of the changing functions of a settlement can be seen in Benidorm (Spain) and the South Wales mining towns.

Settlements can be classified according to their function as rural or urban based on factors such as population size, economic activities, and services available. Rural settlements typically focus on agriculture and have smaller populations, while urban settlements are characterized by larger populations, diverse economic activities, and a wide range of services such as healthcare, education, and commercial facilities.
