What to Focus On

  • Settlement means any human habitation from a single house to a big city.
  • Rural settlements are linked with primary activities; urban with secondary and tertiary.
  • Urban areas have higher population density than rural areas.

  • Four types: compact, semi-compact, hamleted, and dispersed.
  • Compact: clustered houses; common in northern plains.
  • Semi-compact: central cluster with scattered units.

  • Linear: along roads, rivers, or railways.
  • Rectangular: around farmland with grid-like roads.
