Abadi (settlement)
An abadi (Persian: آبادی, romanized: ābādī) is a term often used in Persian to describe 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 isolated farms, on one hand, and towns and cities, on the other hand, the statistical center of Iran uses this term in a narrower sense: 1) village (but not city); 2) farm; 3) site (such as gas stations, restaurants, mines, railway stations, etc.)[5][6][7]
