Abstract: A topological space $X$ is called a topological fractal if $$ for a finite system $mathcalF$ of continuous self-maps of $X$, which is topologically contracting in the sense that for every open cover $mathcalU$ of $X$ there is a number $ninmathbbN$ such that for any functions $f_1,dots,f_{n}inmathcalF$, the set $f_{1}circdotscirc{f}_n(X)$ is contained in some set $UinmathcalU$. If, in addition, all functions $finmathcalF$ have Lipschitz constant $<1$ with respect to some metric generating the topology of $X$, then the space $X$ is called a Banach fractal. It is known that each topological fractal is compact and metrizable. We prove that a zero-dimensional compact metrizable space $X$ is a topological fractal if and only if $X$ is a Banach fractal if and only if $X$ is either uncountable or $X$ is countable and its scattered height $hbar(X)$ is a successor ordinal. For countable compact spaces this classification was recently proved by M.Nowak.
