Bulgarian term or phrase: селищно образуване
Става дума за допустимия брой места в определени заведения "в населени места с над 500 000 жители, ... с над 50 000 до 500 000 жители и ... до 50 000 жители, както и в селищни образувания".

Това групи села ли са? Или квартални комплекси в градовете, или друго? Сещате ли се за приет английски термин?

rural localities


Explanation:
Според мен терминът е rural localities, защото има изброяване "в населени места с над 500 000 жители, ... с над 50 000 до 500 000 жители и ... до 50 000 жители, както и в селищни образувания", иначе казано последната категория е най-малката и това са селата и различните видове други селоподобни населени места.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_inhabited_localities_i...

Тук са изброени различни "Types of inhabited localities in Russia" и в някои бивши съветски републики (сравни абзацa за „Rural localities“).

locality


Explanation:
Върху географски карти стои този термин. Освен него (в зависимост от контекста) - small town, hamlet, built-up areas

residential agglomerations


Explanation:
Поне както аз го разбирам, това са спонтанно оформени зони на концентрация на население (не застроявани планово). На български има термин "селищни агломерации", струва ми се, че това имат предвид.

New York City is one of the largest commercial and residential agglomerations in the entire world and everyday hazards or miniature disasters are quite common,
http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-fire---Emergency-Plann...

New industrial and residential centers are born in the shadow of industrial and residential agglomerations and at the periphery of isolated cities.
http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/dissertations/AAI3078002/

Pinpointing those sites could lead to the discovery of occupation zones such as villages and/or smaller residential agglomerations, which usually are located in proximity to the agricultural fields.
