Answer:
n geography, statistics and archaeology, a settlement, locality or populated place is a community in which people live. The complexity of a settlement can range from a small number of dwellings grouped together to the largest of cities with surrounding urbanized areas. Settlements may include hamlets, villages, towns and cities. A settlement may have known historical properties such as the date or era in which it was first settled, or first settled particular people.
Answer:
A settlement brings the dispute to an end so you can put the complaint behind you and move on. Settlement is usually much faster, with less steps than the hearing process. Settlement talks are confidential. No one can use what you said or offers you make against you if the complaint continues.
--There are generally types of settlements:like compact, semi-compact, and dispersed. Each is based on its population density.
An isolated settlement consists of a single farm or house very remote from any other one, usually found in farming or hunting rural communities.
A dispersed settlement is made up of several houses, scattered or dispersed (as the name implies). One house may be up to one or more kilometers from the next. This type of settlement is common in the Sahel.
In a nucleated or compact settlement, the buildings are clustered, linked by roads, and the settlement itself may have a nearly circular or irregular shape. Such settlements can be either cultural or urban, depending on the size and the functions they perform.
A linear or elongated settlement forms a straight or curved line, following a line of movement, such as a road, river, coastline or the foot of an elongated escarpment. This type of settlement is found in rural area, but linear developments may constitute extensions of towns on their outskirts.
Finally, the integrated nucleated and linear settlements combines the characteristics of both types of settlement and they are star-like. They often occur at junctions, and a number of them in urban settlements.
