Chapter 19: Rural Settlement Patterns
Canada’s population density…
• 3.1 people per square kilometre
• To calculate:
31,000,000 people
10,000,000 km2
1 km2

They all have the same population density
Settlement patterns vary…
• Large cities
• Rural areas
• Ocean coasts
• Remote regions
Rural settlement
• Occurs outside cities and towns
• Characterized by – low population density– Dispersed population
3 key factors affect rural settlement
• Kind of resources found in the area– Agriculture– Mining
• Transportation available at time of settlement– Rivers– Roads
• Government policy– Survey systems
3 key factors resulted in:
• The long lots of southern Quebec
• The concession system of southern Ontario
• The section system of the Prairies

You will now work in groups to learn more about each of these settlement patterns.
