    Diversity and

    Spatial
    Differentiation
    is the result of the combined
    action of natural and social
    Spatial processes that produced a
    Differentiation fragmented, irregular, complex,
    Temporality and unstable, although
    articulated, earth's surface. The
    Spatialty earth's surface can thus be
    seen as a kaleidoscope, open to
    different interpretations.

    MOVEMENT AND SETTLEMENT
    SETTLEMENT
    is a place that contains buildings in which people live, this may contain many or
    few houses, it may cover many square kilometres, and contains not only houses
    but also shops, schools, offices, industries, factories, government buildings and
    many other buildings.
    EARLY OR HUMAN SETTLEMENT
    Human settlement begins with a village through
    sedentary agriculture. Growth is evolutionary
    (gradual), it starts from nomadism to sedentary
    agriculture then the need for settlement became
    obvious with improvement in agriculture.
    VILLAGE - a small settlement usually found in a rural
    setting. It is generally larger than a "hamlet" but smaller
    than a "town".
    Settlements usually have one of these three basic shapes
    TYPE OF which are:
    SETTLEMENT Compact shape- the shape may be round or square, but
    in all cases, the buildings are close to each other and are
    connected by roads, footpaths or both, which links all
    building together. 
    Linear shape– some building may form a line, may be
    straight or curved which may follow a line of movement.
    For instance, a road, river, or railway, relief feature
    Cross shape– this occurs where two lines of movement
    cross for example the crossing of two roads.
    Isolated dwellings– Isolated dwellings would
    only have 1 or 2 buildings or families in them.
    They may have negligible services.
    TYPE OF
    SETTLEMENT Hamlets– these types of settlements may be
    nucleated with few houses usually less than a
    hundred with many people.
    Homestead- these are one family residence,
    they have dispersed settlement, they contain
    very few numbers of people with little
    opportunity for social gathering. Moreover,
    they are separated from one another by bushes
    or by geographical barriers.
    WHY DO economic migration - moving to find
    INDIVIDUAL work or follow a particular career path
    MOVED OR
    MIGRATE social migration - moving somewhere
    for a better quality of life or to be closer
    to family or friends
    political migration - moving to escape
    political persecution or war
    environmental causes of migration
    include natural disasters such as flooding
