Abstract: Abstract The paper presents the results of a study on the collective gardening and dacha movement in the suburban area of Perm. The term “gardening and dacha formations,” which combines different types of citizen collective gardening, truck farming, and dacha associations is proposed and substantiated. Such collective formations represent special territorial communities. They exist outside of work time within a limited space, mainly outside the urban environment; they are characterized by seasonal activity and have a particular interaction with the surrounding territory. A methodology for identifying such formations has been developed, their number and features have been revealed, and their territorial distribution has been analyzed. It has been established that most dachas of Perm residents are located in the suburban Perm municipal district. In other areas close to Perm, there are also dachas of other residents of the territory. The paper determines the different territorial levels of gardening and dacha formations, which reflect the features of their interaction with each other and with the nearby territory: site, garden, set, cluster, and area. The factors of the distribution of gardening and dacha formations over the territory are distinguished, and their location is considered, making allowance for the geographic features of Perm krai. The features of gardening and dacha areas specific to the region are identified.
