Settlements are classified on the basis of their shape, patterns types which are discussed below: • Compact or Nucleated settlements: In these settlements large number of houses is built very close to each other. Such settlements develop along river valleys and in fertile plains. Communities are closely knit and share common occupations. Dispersed Settlements: In these settlements, houses are spaced far apart and often interspersed with fields. A cultural feature such as a place of worship or a market, binds the settlement together Rural Settlement Patterns Patterns of rural settlements contemplate the way the houses are sited in relation to each other. The site of the village, the surrounding topography and terrain influence the shape and size of a village. Rural settlements may be classified on the basis of a number of criteria: (i) On the basis of setting: The main types are plain villages, plateau villages, coastal villages, forest villages and desert villages. (ii) On the basis of functions: There may be farming villages, fishermen’s villages, lumberjack villages, pastoral villages etc. (iii) On the basis of forms or shapes of the settlements: These may be a number of geometrical forms and shapes such as Linear, rectangular, circular star like, T-shaped village, double village, cross-shaped village etc. • Linear pattern: In such settlements houses are located along a road, railway line, and river, canal edge of a valley or along a levee. • Rectangular pattern: Such patterns of rural settlements are found in plain areas or wide inter montane valleys. The roads are rectangular and cut each other at right angles. • Circular pattern: Circular villages develop around lakes, tanks and sometimes the village is planned in such a way that the central part remains open and is used for keeping the animals to protect them from wild animals. • Star like pattern: Where several roads converge, star shaped settlements develop by the houses built along the roads. • T-shaped, Y-shaped, Cross-shaped or cruciform settlements: T –shaped settlements develop at tri-junctions of the roads while –shaped settlements emerge as the places where two roads converge on the third one and houses are built along these roads. Cruciform settlements develop on the cross-roads and houses extend in all the four direction. • Double village: These settlements extend on both sides of a river where there is a bridge or a ferry.

The concept of Neo determinism was introduced by Griffith Taylor which emphasises the middle path or "madhyam Marg" between two ends of environmental determinism and possibilism. The concept envisages that there is nothing absolute whether it is an absolute necessity (i.e environmental determinism) and absolute freedom (i.e possibilism)

Factors affecting the population distribution are as under: 1. Geographic factor: (a) AVAILABILITY OF WATER- People prefer area where fresh water is available for the daily needs. Water is a necessity of life without it we cannot sustain. (b) LANDFORMS- people prefer to live on flat land or gentle scope because these areas are idle for infrastructural development and facilitate develop all around. So these areas are highly populated . In contrast, mountainous areas are less populated because these areas are hindrance in growth and development of infrastructure and other facilities. (c) CLIMATE - Areas with pleasant climate are mostly preferred because areas of harsh climate like , too hot or too cold are unsuitable for human being. Thus, the Mediterranean area and north west India are mostly preferred. (d) Soil- Areas with loamy alluvial soil are suited for agriculture and allied activities and thus they are highly populated. For e.g. ganga valley in northern India are highly populated. 2. Economics factor: (a) MINERALS- Areas rich in minerals deposits are highly populated because these mineral attract industries. (b)INDUSTRIALISATION- Industrialisation attract many people because industries create job opportunities and this are higher in population. (c) URBANISATION- People prefer to live in urbanized areas because these areas provide varied facilities to make human living ease. 3. Cultural and political factor- People prefer to live in areas where there is situation of peace and development . Because political instability and cultural turmoil affects the human development and affect the quality of life.

Countries having low HDI: Range - below 0.5 Reasons- • spend more on defence rather than social sector. • political instability. • Low economic development. • Civil war, famine, disease.

Prishi Geass 3 years, 8 months ago

Human development index depends on a number of factors like level of development, literacy, access to education, social environment, per capita income etc. It varies over space and time. Hence some countries have Low HDI than others. 1. Lower level of development or technological advancement. Level of development is an important factor for HDI. It includes both social and economic development. Lower social development refers to a situation where there is inequality or discrimination. 2. Low literacy rate. Low literacy rate may be due to lack of proper education infrastructure or lack of access to education. In underdeveloped countries, often there is an educational disparity among the various sections of the society. For example in some countries women have a lower literacy rate, gross enrollment rate, and a high drop out rate due to social constraints. 3. Poor health infrastructure. Healthcare is core to human development and also reduces the capability. 4. Low per capita income. It leads to lower purchasing power and there lower standard of living. This has negative impact on various other factors of HDI like access to proper healthcare and education. 5. Unstable political system. HDI is lower in countries which are politically unstable.

(1) Indian monsoon is highly erratic, depending on it may not help in yielding better crops. (2) Water intensive crops like rice, sugarcane, tea, cotton, etc requires a lot of water which can be provided easily through irrigation system. (3) HYV seeds requires large quantity of water to grow. (4) Indian economy is an agrarian economy, thus irrigation is required for production of good quality yields. (5) Availability of irrigation system encourages farmers tk grow many types of crops on the same land throughout the year. This gave them a sense of stability and motivates them.
