📖 1. Settlement Types

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Rural Settlement: A type of settlement located in the countryside, characterized by low population density and mainly dispersed or nucleated patterns, often comprising farms, villages, hamlets, and small market towns.

  • Urban Settlement: A densely populated area with complex land use, including cities, large towns, and conurbations, typically offering a wide range of services and functions.

  • Dispersed Settlement: A rural pattern where individual buildings or small groups of buildings (hamlets) are spread out over a large area, often in difficult physical environments like mountains or marshlands.

  • Nucleated Settlement: A settlement pattern where buildings are grouped closely together, often for defensive, social, or economic reasons, forming villages or towns.

  • Linear Settlement: A settlement aligned along a line of communication such as a road, river, or canal, with buildings stretching along the route.
