Settlements
Site and Situation
The Site of a settlement describes the physical nature of where it is located.
Factors such as water supply, building materials, quality of soil, climate, shelter and defence were all considered when settlements were first established.

The larger the population, the higher the settlement is place on the hierarchy.
The larger a settlement is, and therefore the higher it is one the urban hierarchy, the more services and functions it will have.

Settlement Functions

These can be grouped into a number of headings, such as residential, recreational, retail, government, entertainment and industrial.
Some settlements have one predominant function. Most settlements now are multi-functional, which means that
