    The document discusses different patterns of human settlements: nucleated, linear, and dispersed. Nucleated settlements have houses grouped closely together around a central feature. Linear settlements have buildings constructed in lines along geographical features like shorelines or roads. Dispersed settlements have houses spread widely over an area, often on farms in rural settings. The document also mentions settlement hierarchy and how the size and number of services a settlement has are linked.

    Settlement Patterns

    Dispersed Linear Nucleated


    Settlement Patterns and Hierarchy

    Today we are learning about…


    the different shapes villages come in called patterns, these patterns are dictated
    by physical geography.
    The size of settlements is also linked to the amount of services it has; this is
    called settlement hierarchy.

    By the end of the lesson…

    ALL can identify settlement patterns and sort settlements by size (Level 3)

    MOST will be able to describe settlement patterns and settlement


    characteristics by size (Level 4)

    SOME will be able to explain why a settlement has a certain pattern and
    explain the link between size and the number of services it has (Level 5)
    Nucleated settlements are ones where the houses are grouped closely together, often
    around a central feature

    Linear settlements are ones where the buildings are constructed in lines, often next
    to a geographical feature like a lake shore, a river or following a road.

    Dispersed settlements are ones where the houses are spread out over a wide area.
    They are often the homes of farmers and can be found in rural areas.
