PowerPoint Presentation

Settlement HierarchyDo Now:Think about a small town that you know. Make a list of the types of 5+ activities that go on in the town.

Small TownMajor Metropolitan Center (Big City!)

LEQHow might the position of a place in a settlement hierarchy affect the people in that place?Set Up Cornell Notes!

Small Town Vs. Big CitySmall TownMajor Metropolitan Center (Big City!)

the metro center has many more people in its vicinity, major roads, rail and air connections, compared with their small town.5What is Accessibility Value?The cost in terms of time and effort to reach people from a given locationWhat is hierarchy?A system or organization in which people or groups are ranked one above the other according to status or authority.Create a Hierarchy Pyramid for GHS (See Handout)Teachers

Students

Principal

Academy Leader (aka. Assistant Principal)

Academic Deans (aka. Guidance Councelor)

Make a list of all the different types of settlements! (See Question 1 Handout)Major Metro CenterCity - WilmingtonTown (think small city)Suburb (think mostly homes)Village (think reeeeeeeeaaaly small city)

Give (name) examples of each type of settlement. (see handout Q2)Major Metro Center Philadelphia, City - WilmingtonTown - DoverSuburb - BearVillage - Selbyville

Create a Settlement Hierarchy Pyramid!Order the settlements from highest accessibility value (top) to lowest accessibility value (bottom)Complete the Table (see back of handout)5 minutes! Work with a partner for your handout

Fold Here!Fold Here!Repeat for other sections of Table!Do Now:Where do you live?

What type of settlement is it?

List 5 examples of activities (business, recreational, etc.).

List 3 examples of activities (business, recreations, etc.) that DO NOT, but occur in a larger settlement type

Why will some activities only be found in the larger places with the best accessibility?

Why will some activities only be found in the larger places with the best accessibility?

Any activity has a minimum (threshold) population needed to keep it in business.

Activities with large threshold requirements will need access to large populationsUse the following map to describe a hierarchy in the patterns of settlement

More about settlement hierarchiesthere are more people (e.g. employees) in the larger settlements higher in the settlement hierarchy

there are likely to be a large number of small places and far fewer large places in the hierarchyTrue or False?True = thumbs up

False = thumbs downSettlements Higher up on the Hierarchy are less accessibleSettlements Higher up on the Hierarchy are less accessibleFalseMore people live in settlements at the top of the settlement hierarchyMore people live in settlements at the top of the settlement hierarchyTrueSettlements at the bottom of the settlement hierarchy have fewer business and recreational activitiesMore people live in settlements at the top of the settlement hierarchyMore people live in settlements at the top of the settlement hierarchyTrueSome activities are available in a few settlement types because they only require a small number of people.Some activities are available in a few settlement types because they only require a small number of people.FalseSome activities are available in many different settlement types because they only require a small number of people.Some activities are available in many different settlement types because they only require a small number of people.TrueScenarioYou will take the role of state health planners, trying to decide where to locate Delawares next new hospital. Use geographical analysis based on the hierarchy principle to determine the most likely location.
