In this section, we will be looking at Settlement. Here we have rural and urban settlements, which are all influenced by specific factors. Below we have quizzes on settlement that will boost your reasoning. Before that, let's have a brief overview of what settlement is:

 For many reasons such as: shelter ( away from rain and prevailing winds), trading point ( often settlements developed where natural training points meet such as along rivers or natural route ways), resources ( many settlements developed close to where natural resources could be found), there is a need for settlement. In that light:

 Settlement geography is a branch of human geography that investigates the earth's surface's part settled by humans. According to the United Nations' Vancouver Declaration on Human Settlements (1976), "human settlements means the totality of the human community – whether city, town or village – with all the social, material, organizational, spiritual and cultural elements that sustain it." The situation of a settlement is its location in relation to surrounding human and physical features. We usually describe the situation when we are telling someone where a settlement is.

Traditionally, it belongs to cultural geography and is divided into the geography of urban settlements (cities and towns) and rural settlements (e.g. villages and hamlets). Thereby, settlements are mostly seen as elements of the cultural landscape that developed over time. Apart from Australia, Europe and India, the term is actually rarely used in English-speaking geography. One of the last English books on settlement geography was published by Cambrige University Press in the 1990s. However, it is a traditional and actual branch in many other countries (e.g., German Siedlungsgeographie, French Geographie de l'habitat, Italian Geografia insediativa, Polish Geografia osadnictwa).

During exams, students are mostly evaluated in this section through written sessions, which include multiple choice, short answers, and essay questions for students to demonstrate their understanding of the concept. Click here for more quizzes.
