For example I would see the distinction between a hamlet and a village in a functional criterion, while in Europe it is often clear what is a town and what is a big village, from looking at the legal situation (history is usually important), it can be in the name / people usually know it. > But in Belarus for example we call our settlements "город" (can be city or > town), "городской посёлок" (can be town or village), > "посёлок"/"деревня"/"хутор" (can be village or hamlet or isolated_dwelling). > When people use the maps created form OSM database they don't care about > the generic OSM categorization of settlements.

How do they work, what does characterize them? Is it about the administration hierarchy? Cheers, Martin
