Abstract: The authors study the spatial orientation factor in the development trajectory of administrative regions in the context of sectoral administrative division (for example, Minsk, Republic of Belarus). Due to the lack of a methodology in the Western architectural tradition for studying the factor of cardinal points in the formation of unique characteristics of administrative regions, the authors turn to ancient and modern scientific sources containing such information, including the functional topological model. The analysis showed that in the case of Minsk, urban functions show signs of sectoral differentiation depending on the factor of cardinal points at the level of district names, with the placement of industries, sleeping areas, higher education institutions, research institutes.
