I need just simplify url in my rails app. /nature instead /categories/nature

My routes.rb:

match ':id' => 'categories#show'

This will make any request to '/something' to categories controller with show action though so you have to take that into account.

If I were you I'd do it more like that:

match ':id' => 'categories#show',:constraints => { :id => /nature|sports|architecture|people|.../ }

This way you can still use '/something' routes as you wish as long they don't match any of the available categories.
