The hamlet of Mali Rošpoh in the northern part of the settlement lies in the Municipality of Kungota. [2] The remaining part of the settlement belongs to the municipality of Maribor.
A dispersed settlement, also known as a scattered settlement, is one of the main types of settlement patterns used by landscape historians to classify rural settlements found in England and other parts of the world. Typically, there are a number of separate farmsteads scattered throughout the area. A dispersed settlement contrasts with a nucleated village.
