Daba (Georgian: დაბა) is a type of human settlement in Georgia, a "small town".[1][2] It is equivalent to an urban-type settlement in some other countries of the former Soviet Union.
In present-day Georgia, daba is typically defined as a settlement with the population of no less than 3,000 and established social and technical infrastructure, which enables it to function as a local economic and cultural center; it, furthermore, should not possess large agricultural lands. The status of daba can also be granted to a settlement with the population of less than 3,000, provided it functions as an administrative center of the district (municipality) or has a prospect of further economic and population growth in the nearest future.[1]
