The intent of this paper is to present how several characteristics of the functional organization of Roma community present the essence of forming spatial structures in settlements that by correct understanding and reinterpreting have the potential to successfully trace the steps of future planning and designing decisions in the revitalization process of existing informal settlements. In further development of the paper concrete physical patterns of settlements and houses will be demonstrated, systematized and classified into a useful base of program principles, for which research has proven to be inevitable and important to be considered in every responsible process of settlement regeneration.
