Clustered Settlements: Clusters of dwellings and buildings that are closely grouped together. This promotes social interaction and provides easier access to shared resources.
Linear Settlements: Dwellings and buildings arranged in a linear fashion along transportation routes such as roads or rivers. This settlement pattern is often seen in agricultural societies dependent on river systems.
Dispersed Settlements: Dwellings and buildings scattered across a larger area with significant gaps between them. This settlement pattern allows for more privacy but may require longer travel distances for social interaction and resource sharing.
