DEFINING VILLAGES AND ITS SETTLEMENTS:
* Villages are concentrations of people gathered around a central place in most regions of the world. A church, bazaar, or public venue is frequently used as a focal point.
* An open area (sometimes known as a village green) or a developed square are examples of public spaces (sometimes called a plaza or piazza). A nucleated settlement is a sort of village organization.
*Some communities are built in a straight line. They are arranged in a line rather than around a central public area.
*This line can be found in nature, such as on a riverbank or along the coastline. (Linear settlements are common in fishing communities.) Linear towns can also form along transit corridors, such as train tracks.
