An abadi ( Persian: آبادی, romanized: ābādī) is a term often used in Persian to describe a rural location, typically a settlement in a rural environment, or informally as a town or city. [1] [2] [3] The word Abadi derives from "آباد, ābād", which translates to "populous, thriving, prosperous". [4]
Being a generic and ambiguous term referring to small settlements, the statistical center of Iran uses the term in a broader sense, either a village, farm and "site" such as gas stations, restaurants, mines, railway stations, etc. [5] [6] [7] As of the 1973 census 23 per cent of ābādīs are non-residential.
