Abstract: Rural areas make up a significant part of Russia's space, and the rural population makes up a significant proportion of the country's inhabitants. In recent years, negative demographic trends have been observed in rural areas: a decrease in the number of residents due to natural decline and migration outflow, and an aging population. Rural areas continue to remain not the most attractive space for people to live due to insufficient development of engineering and social infrastructure, quality of housing, and lack of sources of income. The problems of rural development are shown in the article using the example of one of the central European regions of Russia - the Kostroma region. A systematization of state programs for the development of rural areas adopted since the early 2000s, their evolution, a list of tasks they are aimed at solving, and target guidelines have been carried out. The current concepts of program-targeted planning for the development of rural areas are outlined, such as the integrated development of rural areas and the selection of territories of preferential development, which simultaneously ensures the most efficient expenditure of budget funds and the formation of an integral rural territory. Ideas for improving the methodology for selecting support settlements for the development of rural areas are proposed. It is recommended to include in the selection an informal criterion that characterizes the prospects for the development of the territory and allows taking into account the specific conditions of specific regions.
