Abstract: the article discusses the multidirectional approaches to the development of non-urbanized territories used in the countries of the Asian region. Today, Asian countries belong to the level of medium-urbanized countries in which the growth of the urban population is ahead of their real development. The relevance of the study is due to a decrease in the attractiveness of rural areas, as a result of which the imbalances of socio-economic development in various countries increase. The aim of the work was to identify institutional tools that contribute to increasing the level of socio-economic development in the non-urbanized territories of the countries of the Asian region. . The work used general methods (analysis, synthesis, systematic approach) and special (statistical, comparative analysis). The scientific basis of the study was the scientific and practical work of Russian and foreign scientists for the period 1995-2023. On the example of Japan, China, India, mechanisms were investigated and systematized that contribute to the effective development of rural areas in Asian countries: branding, educational programs, information infrastructure, technological implementations, financial support. It was noted that one of the main drivers of the development of non-urbanized territories in the countries under consideration was directly state support in various forms. It was found that among some instruments, the level of socio-economic potential of non-urbanized territories is significantly influenced by: financial and tax incentive measures, the construction of transport networks and social infrastructure facilities, the introduction of educational programs in rural areas. Among the main results of the implementation of programs for the development of non-occupied territories in the Asian region is an increase in the quality of life of citizens while reducing the population living in rural areas. A similar trajectory of spatial development of the countries under consideration determines the feasibility of adapting the presented practices in Russia.
