Settlement

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Settlement is a place where people establish a community. The word can refer to a small number of dwellings such as a village, a large number of dwellings such as a city, or the process of establishing such dwellings. Settlements can be permanent or temporary, and can occur in a variety of environments, from the desert to the arctic.

Types of Settlements[edit]

There are several types of settlements, including:

  • Rural Settlements: These are settlements that are located in non-urban areas. They are typically small and rely on agriculture or other natural resources for their economy.

Settlement Process[edit]

The process of settlement involves several stages, including:

  • Exploration: This is the initial stage where people search for a suitable location to establish a settlement.
  • Establishment: This is the stage where people build dwellings and other structures, and start to live in the settlement.
  • Development: This is the stage where the settlement grows and evolves, often through the addition of more dwellings, the development of an economy, and the establishment of social and political structures.
  • Decline or Abandonment: This is the stage where the settlement may decline in population or be abandoned, often due to factors such as environmental changes, economic changes, or social changes.
