hello
factors that are responsible for permanent settlements are-
1)ORIGIN OF SETTLEMENT
The precise reasons for the formation of settlements are not known. The events are shrouded in mystery, as they occurred before recorded history. There are only reasonable conjectures on where and why permanent settlements began.
2)RELIGIOUS
Having established a permanent resting place for the dead, the tribe would have installed priests at the site to perform the appropriate rituals. Subsequently, the place of worship (temple) became a centre of attraction and helped in the development of settlements.
3) CULTURAL
The settlement may also have served as a place to house women and children, permitting the men to wander further in their search for food.
4)ECONOMIC
The religious, military, and political leaders and the dependents needed food which was supplied by the tribe through hunting or gathering.
As long as the tribe was gathering surplus food for the people in the settlement, someone eventually wondered, why should they not bring a bit extra in case of hard times, such as drought, floods or war.
5)SITE OF SETTLEMENT
The site, growth and development of human settlements are closely influenced by the available soil, water, forest and mineral resources.
Depending on the nature and quality of resources, the settlements may be temporary or permanent and from the rural settlements they may acquire the status of urban settlements.

The site and situation of a settlement are very different things. The site of a settlement is the land upon which it was built. There are a range of factors that can determine the site of a settlement. These are:
wet point site - these are sites close to a supply of waterdry point site - these are sites that avoided the risk of floodingdefensive site - these were sites that were on high ground and allowed the inhabitants to see enemies from a distanceaspect - many settlements in the northern hemisphere are located on south facing sides of valleys where it is sunnyshelter - away from rain and prevailing windstrading point - often settlements developed where natural training points meet such as along rivers or natural route waysresources - many settlements developed close to where natural resources could be found.
The situation of a settlement is its location in relation to surrounding human and physical features. We usually describe the situation when we are telling someone where a settlement is.
Most settlements have multi-functions. This includes education, retail and industry. However, when settlements first formed they often had one main function.
