Question

How are the settlements changed over a period of time?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are many reasons for changes in settlements. Remember that this is not a new phenomenon. Rural villages and

towns have always changed over time and will continue to do so. They are dynamic, with populations that swell and shrink

like the ebb and flow of the tide and are dependent on the economic and social state of their surroundings. This dynamic

can be seen in ruins and new houses and in rusting ploughs alongside Quad bikes. In order to investigate the changes in

rural settlements, an appropriate area must be chosen. This article focuses on Snowdonia National Park.

Answer 2

Villages have changed over time. In the past, most functions were connected with farming and countryside services. People lived and worked in the countryside. Today, some villages are close enough to urban areas for people to commute to work in the city, while still living in the countryside.
