Natural factors affecting the location of human settlement:

  • One of the most important factors for human settlement was rivers. Rivers are a source of natural fresh water and have fertile land near them, which are one of the basic needs of civilisations.
  • Humans started having settlements and civilisations around 300,000 years back, the main factors for choosing an area for settlements were the presence of fertile lands, natural sources of water and flat lands for home construction.
  • Banks of rivers have provided all of the above factors, hence even now most of the world's biggest cities are found around rivers. However, nowadays there are also factors such as livability standards, human employment standards, and crime rates.
