Dachas or cottage settlement (Russian: дачный посёлок, коттеджный поселок), which is located outside official inhabited locality (Russian: населённый пункт) place=isolated_dwelling/hamlet/village/town/city. This tag is used for supporting addressing in such settlements or allotments.
Rationale
Cottage settlement is very distinct type of settlement in Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union.
They are different from the other settlements in the following aspects:
- Houses located in such settlements are used as seasonal or year-round second homes;
- Thery are not condidered as settlements officially:
- they are not mentioned in address registers (КЛАДР),
- don't have official postal addresses ( addressing mentioned above is rather a lot numbering, which may be used for navigation, but not for mail delivery),
- people can't register themselves there (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propiska_in_the_Soviet_Union),
- they are marked with different kind of landuse in cadaster ("Lands of agricultural purpose / Земли сельскохозяйственного назначения" vs. "Settlemend lands / Земли поселений (земли населенных пунктов))") and there may be many more unapparent differences.
That said, we very much need to distinguish these kind of places from official settlements.
