What is a linear settlement ? Where would you normally find a linear settlement ? |
|
Answer» Linear settlements are those settlements that develop in a line. Houses, shops, dhaba’s, petrol pumps and garages develop along the sides of the roads, railway lines or river banks. Gradually, these linear settlements grow in size. These settlements gradually develop into trading centres. Examples: 1. If such a settlement is near a railway track, and over a period of time, a need for a railway station is felt, then it becomes a railway stop. 2. hen located on main roads, such settlements become important stops for travellers as dhabas, tyre and car repairing shops and petrol pumps open up. 3. On rivers and coasts, they become places where boats can unload goods and passengers. |
