linear housing pattern, linear pattern of settlement Explanation: The three main patterns of settlement are linear, scattered, and clustered. A linear settlement pattern initially develops along a main road, and can often maintain this pattern even as the settlement grows due to geographical boundaries, such as rivers and mountains. A scattered settlement pattern typically occurs in rural areas where agriculture is the primary focus. A clustered settlement generally grows around a common community area that the settlement expands around over time. - http://aventalearning.com/courses/GEOGx-HS-A09/a/unit05/GeoH... ----------- The villages linear development pattern is unbroken by any discernable visual or functional core area, such as a village square or grouping of service or retail uses. It is difficult therefore, to determine where the centre of the village lies - http://goo.gl/DAJY59 ------ Much of the residential development surrounds the lakes in the Town. This establishes a predominantly linear housing pattern, which is in contrast to the denser housing development trends characteristically found in cities and villages. - http://town.dunn.wi.us/resources/parksandopenspaceplan2014.p... - page 15 |
