1. Use Google Earth to explore real-world examples of settlement patterns. Identify one linear settlement along a river, one clustered settlement, and one dispersed rural area.

2. Take screenshots, write brief notes on why the pattern might have developed in that way.

Location => Tinnaya, Russia

Reason:

Agricultural Land: In farming communities, dispersed settlements allow families to live on or near their farmland, which is often spread out. This setup enables easy access to fields and reduces the need for daily travel.

Historical or Cultural Reasons: In some regions, traditions or local customs favor dispersed living, often for privacy or the independence it provides to each household.

Geographic Features: In regions with hills, forests, or uneven terrain, dispersed settlements can form naturally as homes are built in habitable or accessible spots.

Location => San Jose, Costa Rica

Reasons:

Geography and terrain: Flat, fertile land or sheltered areas are ideal for clustering settlements as they are easier to farm and develop.

Trade and communication: closer to transportation routes or trading hubs provides economic activity. Settlements near ports tend to grow in a nucleated form for easy access to markets.

Climate and Agriculture: in areas with a stable climate, farming can support larger communities. A nucleated settlement allows for better coordination in agriculture, such as irrigation systems or crop management

Linear settlement

# data[].attributes.body
1. People live in a linear settlement because they can get better access to roads and rivers, which makes it easier to access school and reliable water supply.

2. ﻿﻿﻿Geographic Constraints: In areas where mountains, forests, or other geographical barriers limit available land, settlements may follow the path of least resistance, often creating a linear pattern.

# data[].attributes.body
1. People live in dispersed areas because they might need agricultural needs for farming which oftenly needs large areas of land to grow crops, raise livestock, etc.

2. People live in dispersed areas because some people prefer privacy and quiet, open spaces that live far from people. The dispersed areas often have nature-like views which can make dispersed living more attractive to some people.

Nucleated settlement

# data[].attributes.body
As seen in the image, the environment is surrounded by land which could be used for farming. This could lead farmers to want to have homes close to their land to facilitate the planting process. Another reason could be that the owner of the house inherited it from their parents and decided to maintain the house and the surrounding land.

# data[].attributes.body
Reasons:

Dispersed settlement enhances agriculture efficiency

Living far away from other houses creates more privacy and open space for individuals and families, which can be culturally desirable in some societies

It is because the stlement are smalll and isolated.

# data[].attributes.body
Reasons:

1.Nucleated or clustered settlement usually have centralized services and infrastructure. In nucleated settlements, because people live close together, it's easier to provide important services and infrastructure. Things like water pipes, electricity lines, schools, and hospitals can all be set up in one area, so they serve more people without needing to stretch out over a big space. This makes it cheaper and more efficient for the community or government to provide these services. So, in a nucleated settlement, people are closer to these essential services, which makes life more convenient or easier. They don’t have to travel far to access things like healthcare, education, or public transport.

2.In a nucleated settlement, homes and buildings are grouped closely together in one area. This means that less land is used for housing, leaving more open land around the settlement for other purposes, like farming, parks, or factories. By keeping the houses in one cluster, the surrounding land can be used for activities that need larger spaces. This way, the land is used more efficiently, and different parts of it can serve different purposes.
