Question

What are the five functions of rural settlement

Answer 1

Answer:

Using energy analysis, the quantifying evaluation and study method on production, living and ecology functions and their sustainability of rural settlement ecosystem in mountain area is established with these energy index such as export of labor and products, export of water resource, internal energy reserve, energy consumption for human living, net energy of ecosystem function and net internal reserve. Taking rural settlement Raosi Village in Hengduan Mountains as a case study, and on the basis of the synthetic research into the ecological process of the complex ecosystem, the study shows that energy costs of production, human living and ecology functions are separately taking 1.36%, 13.59% and 85.05% of the gross ecosystem functions, and the exertions of production and human living functions are close to a high-point state on the present using level of energy in the settlement. The study also shows that the most important function of a rural settlement in mountain area is its ecological rather productive function.

Settlement is a place where people live and interact through activities such as agriculture, trading and entertainment. Settlement in geography help us to understand man’s relationship with his environment.

A rural settlement is a community involved predominantly in primary activities such as farming, lumbering and mining.

A urban settlement engages in predominantly in secondary and tertiary activities such as food processing and banking.

There is often correlation between functions, population sizes and population density. A rural settlement tends to have small population. Urban settlement often has a large population size and density. Physical environment determine the site of a settlement depend on:

Water supply – Water is essential for human survival and agricultural activities.

Relief – The availability of broad flat land such as floodplains promote agricultural activities.

Soils – Fertility of soils is another consideration for agricultural activities.
