Lesson Outcomes
By the end of today’s lesson students will be able to:-
Identify and explain different settlement patterns.
Describe what a function is Explain the purpose of settlement patterns
Lesson Objectives:-
To
gain an understanding of how settlements are set out and the purpose of them.Slide4

Settlement patterns
Dispersed pattern- spread out around the classroom.
Linear- get into a straight line.
Nucleated- huddle together. Slide7
Nuclear/Nucleated

Dispersed
Draw an example of each in your book.Slide8

The
situation
of a settlement is its position in relation to the surrounding human and physical
features.
Site The place where a settlement is.

Wet point sites

Dry point sites
- Defensive sites -
Aspect - Shelter - Gap towns - Resources
- Bridging point - Trading centres -Often settlements grow where natural route ways and rivers meet, which helps the development of roads, railways and canals.Settlements with 'ford' in their name often grew around a fording point or bridging point, eg Watford is found on the River Colne. Important for industry, eg villages such as Aberfan in the Welsh valleys is close to coal reserves. Lincoln is found in a gap between two areas of higher ground.
From
cold prevailing winds and rain.
Settlements
are often found on the sunny side of a deep valley. This is common in settlements in the Alps.
Often
found on higher ground so that in the past enemies could be seen from a distance, eg Corfe Castle, Dorset, or in the loop of a meander, eg Durham.
These
are away from the risk of flooding, eg Ely in Cambridgeshire.
These
have a good water supply. Many settlements grew around wet point sites, eg villages in the South Downs.
