What to Focus On

  • Settlement pattern depends on physical and human factors.
  • Water supply is a major factor in settlement growth.
  • Climate, slope, soil, and transport also influence settlement location.
  • Nucleated settlements are closely packed.
  • Dispersed settlements are scattered and spread out.
  • Narmada Valley and paddy regions support nucleated settlements.
  • Brazilian settlements developed mainly in coastal areas first.
  • Coastal areas have good water supply and many natural resources.
  • Sao Paulo is a nucleated settlement.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Nucleated settlements are always urban settlements.

Dispersed settlements are found mainly in flat cultivated regions.

Sao Paulo is a nucleated settlement just because it is coastal.

Memory Tips

Urbanisation means percentage of urban population to total population

India's urbanisation level in 2011 was 31.16%
