Different sitesWet point sites – the site of a settlement close
to a water supply such as a spring line settlement on a chalk escarpment

Different sitesDry-point site – the site of a settlement which
avoids land prone to flooding such as a gravel mould or the valley side
Dry-point site - Ely

Different sitesBridging points – a settlement located where
a river is forded or bridged

Defensive siteThis type of site was originally selected as it
offered people protection
Durham – the meander (bend of the river) acts a natural barrier
Edinburgh

Different sitesA site that is particularly good for resources –
fuel supply (wood), food supplies, building materials
Shelter and aspect – in Britain it is an advantage to be sheltered from the strong prevailing south-westerly and cold northerly winds, and to have a south-facing aspect, as this gives most sunshine, heat and light (Torquay)

Nodal pointsThis site is where two crossroads join up and
a town develops in the middle.They can develop into ‘trading centres’.
Towns near seas and rivers could also develop into trading centres
Gap towns – these develop on flat land in between two hilly pieces of land

Site factors todayMany of the site factors in the past are now
insignificant today as modern technology means we can build anywhere we want to
It now comes now down to a purely economic argument

Settlement hierarchy

FunctionFunction of a settlement – this describe what
a settlement doesDifferent functions – commercial,
administrative, residential, tourism, market towns, mining towns, industrial/manufacturing, ports, route centres, cultural/religious
![Page 12: Site factors Site – the physical land on which a settlement is built Situation – the settlement in relation to its surrounding area.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649e1f5503460f94b0acb9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Functions – change over timeFunctions change over time and may lose
their significance over time. New ones may become important after time.

Settlement shape - dispersed
![Page 14: Site factors Site – the physical land on which a settlement is built Situation – the settlement in relation to its surrounding area.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649e1f5503460f94b0acb9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Settlement pattern - linear
![Page 15: Site factors Site – the physical land on which a settlement is built Situation – the settlement in relation to its surrounding area.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649e1f5503460f94b0acb9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Settlement pattern - nucleated
![Page 16: Site factors Site – the physical land on which a settlement is built Situation – the settlement in relation to its surrounding area.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649e1f5503460f94b0acb9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sphere of influenceThis is the area served by a settlement, shop
or service

The Burgess model
![Page 18: Site factors Site – the physical land on which a settlement is built Situation – the settlement in relation to its surrounding area.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649e1f5503460f94b0acb9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Limitations of the Burgess modelIt assumes that the landscape of cities do not changePhysical features - land may restrict growth of certain
sectors Commuter villages - commuter villages defy the theory
since they are located far away from the city Shopping centres, industry and science parks being
located outside the cityUrban regeneration and gentrification - more expensive
property can be found in 'low class' housing areas Many new housing estates were built on the edges of
cities in Britain The model does not work well for cities are made up of
towns joining together
![Page 19: Site factors Site – the physical land on which a settlement is built Situation – the settlement in relation to its surrounding area.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649e1f5503460f94b0acb9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

UrbanisationThis is the increase in the proportion of
people living in urban areas

Newcastle Solutions
The Tyne and Wear Development Corporation (TWDC) (1987) Invested millions of pounds Acquired and cleared derelict land, built new
infrastructure, setting up schemes with the private sector to bring new homes and amenities
Four themes Created new business districts for modern office
developments and industrial estates Increasing employment by giving grants to existing and
new businesses, and by introducing training programmes Reviving the riversides as a place to live by providing new
homes, cultural, shopping and leisure facilities Improving the environment by reclaiming land,
landscaping, restoring historic buildings and creating parks, walkways and cycleways

Shanty TownsSao PauloProblems
Poor quality housingVery crampedNo sewerLack of clean waterLack of electricity
![Page 29: Site factors Site – the physical land on which a settlement is built Situation – the settlement in relation to its surrounding area.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649e1f5503460f94b0acb9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Shanty town solutionsThe council provided the residents with the
necessary materials to improve their lives – the residents build new houses for themselves – Self-help schemesResidents given:
Breeze-blocks Sinks Roofing tiles Water tank Electricity wires Bathroom with toilet Underground sewers Improved roads and streets
![Page 30: Site factors Site – the physical land on which a settlement is built Situation – the settlement in relation to its surrounding area.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649e1f5503460f94b0acb9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Advantages of self-help schemesDone in stagesCan create community spiritThe cost of building is fairly cheap so more
houses can be provided
![Page 31: Site factors Site – the physical land on which a settlement is built Situation – the settlement in relation to its surrounding area.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649e1f5503460f94b0acb9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Urban SprawlUrban sprawl – the spread of towns and cities
into the rural-urban fringe and countrysideBuildings in the rural-urban fringe:
Science parksGolf coursesOut of town shopping centresFootball groundsBy-passesHobby farming – people owning small pieces of
land which spread into the rural-urban fringeHousing estates
![Page 32: Site factors Site – the physical land on which a settlement is built Situation – the settlement in relation to its surrounding area.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070412/56649e1f5503460f94b0acb9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Preventing urban sprawlGreen belts – Green land in the countryside
which surrounds many towns and cities. This is often protected and should not be built upon
Brownfield sites – these are derelict industrial sites in cities which are then cleared and new building generally residential are built. This reduces the need to build into the countryside
