Analysis of Settlements

By: Sawate, Sanjay

Settlement as the abode of human society deserves to be in the forefront of research. Such studies are necessary for determining various aspects and problems associated with the human beings. The study of habitat is relatively recent sprout from the venerable trunk of human geography. Geographic thoughts have spread and spanned around the different settlements over the globe. Early geographers like Thucydides, Polybius and Strabo were no mistaken in observing ancient cities as the symbol and explicit evidence of a superior civilization.The functional structure of settlement is closely related to social, economic and political behavior of the society. These aspects vitally influence the location, form and size of settlements. Each community had its distinctive religious edifices like temple, mosque and church. These have a bearing on the development of settlements. Geographers consider rural settlement as man-made habitat. The rural landscape based on the primary occupations such as agriculture, forestry, mining, fishing, hunting etc. flourish on local resources.
