 CHAPTER I
DEVELOPMENT OF SETTLEMENT

1.1 Introduction :

Shelter is one of the most important basic helissities of

human being. Even the naked saints or pygmies need sound sleep
the physiological necessity of living being at some place. Man also
needs some sort of shelter for safe rest for shelter he selects tree
branches, caves or Pits or rock- cut hiding places. These Shelter
Places become the most concrete expression of human cultural
activity and assume various forms as well as names. Houses
dwelling group of Houses, abodes, habit action all from human
habitat more specifically settlements with the establishment of any
sort of dwelling the foundation of a civilization is laid which grows
flourishes and spreads like petals of blossoming flowers in all
directions in varied tint and colour and temporal variation in the
form of habitations these become the concrete expressions of
anthropogenic and later on technogenic adaption of human being.
Although all living or ganisms build for themselves nests dwelling
like bees, beavers ants etc. An animal only Produces what it
immediately needs for itself or it’s young. It produces one Sidely
whilst man Produces universally1. This universality of houses and
their grouping in the form of Settlements exhibit Variations in Size
Shape Pattern and types as well as multi-distributional aspects. All
being the subject matter of Systematic study.

The study of a Single most settlements with its own niche in

the habitat and as a subsystem of a system. Both become essential.
The unit of settlement however may range from a slum dwelling in

2
shanty town a herders hut a farm or a tribal’s home stead up to
ecumenopolis. Thus any settlement can be studied in either a world
or a regional context, but any settlement if it is to be adequately
apriciated must be correlated with other facts of geography e.g.
relief, climate geology and social and economic conditions2.
Brunnes put houses in the first group among the essential facts of
human geography houses roads and fields are also the essential
facts of human occupation. The distinctive features of the
landscape3. Transformation of original habitat by settlements is so
much so that in towns the very air itself is changed and vitiated and
everything is of an artificial character4.

We start here with the assumption that man is a product of

the earths surface5.

But mans relation to nature has emerged not as one of self

interrogation nor even of simple dialogue but of a conference with
others present and in which social man increasingly has the right of
veto6.

Geography is integrating concepts and processes concern the

worldwide ecosystem of which man is the dominant part7. Man in
the context of geographical man machine analogy is composed of a
complex of interlocking socio- economic systems which operate on
the above machine by means of decision making mechanisms of
great complexity and bias not without their own important
stochastic elemements8.

During man’s adaption with the environments, man came in

close contact with various environmental features and his reaction
of adaption brought forth change in his physical landscape. These
changes are identified as cultural Landscape and present man’s

3
relation to man and the earth. The author agrees with the American
Philosopher who Philosophizes Over geography that more than an
inventory, of man and things, geography at heart is a concern to
depict man’s relation to man upon the earth, although earth were
his home. “In a geographers words It is a way of understanding
man in a matrix of human and physical relationship and
interrelationship”. These interrelation ships are best expressed
through the settlements, which are concrete expression of human
occupance of the earth surface.

Settlement geography, being an offshoot of social geography

or a recent sprout from the venerable trunk of human geography
was mainly concerned with urban settlements before the turn of the
twentieth century. But since two third of the world population and
about 98 percent of the total settlements occupy rural areas many
historians, sociologists and geographers have studied rural
settlements as well as problems attached with environmental
aspects in rural areas. So a comprehensive study of settlements
requires explanation of site and situation building materials forms,
functions, types and patterns and characteristics. Of these site and
situation and material need full interpretation of physical
environmental aspects and cultural linkages while morphology
requires in depth study of sequent occupance involving historical
background of the unit of occupance as well as the man the
occupant. Regional variations and spatial patterns present
significant subject matter for analyzing the sequence of change.

1.2 Definition scope and approaches:

During his adaption with the environment man came in close

contact to various environmental features and this reaction brought

4
forth changes in his physical landscape. These changes are
identified as cultural landscape and present man’s relation to man
upon earth. The author agrees with the American philosopher who
philosophizes over geography that more than an inventory of man
and things geography at heart is a concern to depict man’s relation
to man upon earth as though earth were his home9. In a geography
words. It is a way of understanding man in matrix of human and
physical relationship and interrelationships10. These
interrelationship are best expressed through the settlement which
are concerte expressions of human occupance of the earth’s
surface. if human geography which depicts the interrelationship
may be defined as the study of “who gets what, where and how11
The settlement geography is concerned with who build settlements
where and how”. In the present context. ‘Who’ means the man a
part of the terrestrial space, along with the way he has historically
emerged and the processes through which he has observed the
diverse waves of races, cultures and technologies12.

Build simply means the act of construction by putting parts

or materials together as well as the style of construction related to
the house and other facilities attached to it, ‘inhabit’ points towards
the occupance of such houses. “settlement” means the settlement
units representing an organized colony of human beings together
with the buildings in which they live or that they otherwise use and
the paths and streets over which they travel13.

Where focus immediate attention on the most sensible

subdivision of territory for the purpose of investigation. ‘How’
require the identification and understanding of the structure process
and causal mechanisms at work leading to a particular pattern of

5
who build settlements where. Thus the discipline covers the entire
hierarchy from rural to urban settlement from nomadic to
sedentary. It is concerned not only with the buildings grouped
around the permanent farm dwelling but also with the temporary
camp of the hunter or herder or with settlement clusters or
agglomerations, running the scale from hamlet to village to town to
city and to metropolis14. During the sixties stone suggested that
geography of rural settlements be defined as the description and
analysis of the distribution of buildings by which people attach
themselves to the land for purpose of primary production “But he
excluded some significant constituents like buildings materials
architectural styles. Landuse and fence type. A year after his ideas
were challenged by Jordan who wrote on the nature of “settlement
Geography” and defined settlement geography as the “study of the
form of the cultural landscape involving it’s orderly description
and attempted explanation” later on the emphasized three aspects
of the cultural landscape. 1. The settlement patterns or distribution
of farmsteads. 2. The field patterns or the forms resulting from
division of land for productive use and. 3.house and farmstead
types including the building materials and folk architecture. As
referred to above the German word siedlung does indicate the
process of human occupance as well as arrangement and groupings.
Obviously the main theme is to study the settlement ensembles and
their spatial patterns for analyzing the sequence of change in the
landscape. More explicitly the size form and functions of
settlements and their origin the essentials of the subject matter their
regional variations also are no less significant. Chatterjis view is
that the settlement geography deals with the size, from and
function of settlements built up by man and traces their historic
6
groute “Rural settlement geography is concerned with the orderly
description and interpretations of processes patterning. functions
and the spatial organization of human occupance with in rural
environment over the earth surface.”

Scope:-

Settlement geography being an offshoot of social

gerography15 or a recent most sprout from the venerable trunk of
human geography16. Was mainly concerned with urban settlements
before the turn of the twentieth century. The latter may be
17
described as the hallmarks of contemporary civilization . But
since about two- thirds of the world population and about 98
percent of the total settlements occupy rural areas many historian
sociologists and geographers have studied rural settlements as well
as the problems attached with environmental aspects in rural areas.
Even urbanized world still processes varied forms of rural
settlements. Thus a comprehensive study of settlements requires
explanation of site and situation building materials forms function,
types and patterns and characteristics. Of these site and situation
and materials need full interpretation of physical environmental
aspects and cultural ink ages while morphology requires. Depth
study of sequent occupancies involving historical background of
the unit of occupancies as well as the man the occupant. As the
post is the key to the present and we walk to a certain degree in
every village among the ruins of antiquity18.

The themes proposed for international symposium had at

Varanasi in 1971 out lined below form comprehensive subject
matter of and approaches to the study of settlement geography in
general and rural settlements geography in particular19.

7
(A) Approaches to rural settlement geography:

i. Relation to rural settlement geography.

ii. Field survey and first hand observation and data collection.
iii. Census records and maps and other historical record’s
iv. Data analysis and mapping development of models
paradigms, hypothesis etc. and
v. Other sources materials such as place names.
(B) Histogenesis of Rural settlement and settlements pattern
(i) Historic culture areas
(ii) Systems of land division, proprietary grant systems and
water rights etc. and their relation to settlement growth
patterns.
(iii) Pioneer settlement areas and their problems and
(iv) Sequence of occupancies Neolithic, bronze, iron, ages,
ancient, medieval and modern periods.

(C) Basic Regional Types and patterns of rural settlements.

(i) Relation of settlement types and patterns to various physical

ethnic and social factors and
(ii) Relation to systems of agriculture water and soil
management and land tenure theories of landuse intensity,
zoning, labour and input output costs etc marketing of
products and other locational spatial theories
(D) Morphogensis of Rural settlements.
various geomorphological form patterns and their relation to
various factors.
(E) Fuctional pattern of rural settlements.
(i) Analysis of functional types of rural settlements, methodology
development etc.

8
 (ii) Functional analysis of service villages and service and trading
centres hierarchy of such centres in relation to general central
place theory and

(iii)Rural seasonal migration community patterns etc.

(F) Rural building and House types

(i) Analysis of rural house types and other functional buildings
their size functions architectural styles building materials
etc.
(ii) Regionalization of house and building types and

(iii) Planning of rural houses and buildings.

APPROACHES :-
The two popular methods of approaches in geography as
explained by Hartshorne are (i) systematic logical and (ii) regional.
Both types of settlement. rural urban have been studied in various
proportions through these approaches. Rural settlements have
mostly been studied systematically at micro level- village and
hamlets. along with their occupancies setting morphology, size
shape and functions etc. such systematic empirical studies abound
in all countries where geography could reach the graduation level
in institutions the second approach to study settlements of regions
as a whole comprising their histogenesis, morphogenesis spread
distribution pattern and types. Characteristics and comparative
distinctiveness and regional variations also do abound in old
German studies as well as in newer geographic world in terms of
historical period of their investigation and development of
geography. Recently theoretical approach has been emphasized
through the studies of Bunge, Haggett and so many others
including those influenced by the charismatic charm of quantitative
9
revolution some thought give framework one can apply three basic
approaches supplemented by better developed quantitative
techniques (1) genetic (ii) spatial and (iii) ecological.

Genetic Approach :
Meitzen (1895) on the basis of historical processes attempted
to demonstrate the presence of three ethnically based zones of
settlements in Europe (i) the grouped settlements along with
common field systems almost associated with Germanic conquest
(ii) isolated farmsteads associated mostly with the Celts and (iii)
round and the street village form associated with the slaves. This
idea of ethnic based study was criticized variously In the 20th
International Geographical congress symposium London (1964) It
was emphasized that the scientific study of settlements must be
founded on an appreciation of the nature and limitation of historical
perspective whether archaeological or documentary. As the core
concern of settlement geography is the spatial arrangement and
sequent occupancies well denoted through the German term
“seedlings Geographic.” The histogenetic approach is most
appropriate for studying (i) the degree of continuity of territorial
organization and (ii) problems of interaction between man and
environment at micro level. This also includes three basic methods
followed by various geographers.
(i) Retrogressive approach advocated by Bloch Focuses upon
the past on the basis of the evidences gathered from the
recent past20.
(ii) Retrospective approach advocated by Roger Dion21. Focuses
upon the present the past conditions regarding settlements
being considered for better understanding of the existing
state.
10
(iii) Prospective approach focuses upon the future past and
present cultural landscape being regarded as relief Features
projecting towards adjustment with future needs22.

Analysis of abandoned settlements a new method of approach

provides conclusive evidence.

About the past settlements and human activities Developed

out of archaeology it consists of three parts (i) Chemical analysis of
soil phosphorus indicating human occupancies (ii) Micro
separation examining soil and settlement components Primarily
through mechanical means and (iii) Poly neology (pollen analysis)
Edit presented interesting findings in this studies in the united
states23.

Spatial approach :- spatial organization approach is a form of

system approach which helps in comprehending the settlements as
a whole. A good detail has already been presented in the first
section. Considering this method of approach spatial organization
may be analyzed through different concepts among which very
pertinent in rural settlement geography are (i) type pattern and
classification (ii) functional integration and hierarchy (iii) local
identity and (iv) planning and rationalization24. In wide terms
spatial organization studies include the varied literature produced
on the basis of the central place theory denoting hierarchy and rank
size in relation to any environment space. We shall come with
details on this in chapter 9 Demangeon25. Actually developed the
concept of spatial organization in context to morphological
structure. He presented the classification of French grouped
settlements in to different types according to shape. Also he dealt
with the principal distribution patterns of rural houses. His works

11
pared the way for geographers to produce regional classification of
rural settlement types. Schaefer26. Initiated the modern orientation
following the works of German geographers. Modern geographers
are lowing him in the study of settlements through the analysis of
patterns and process as they express the spatial organization in
environmental space.

Ecological approach : A fundamental work was produced by Radha

Kamal Mukharjee regarding adaption of human society and
ecology in his man and Habitation : A study in social Ecology The
setteing processes as described by Hudson27. Includes three phases
colonization, spread and competition- similar to plant communities
in space. He concluded that these processes follow a cycle way
temporally- since much of the human behavior is of sub-optimal
nature28.

Peoples in various habitals are often satisfied with less than

the idel. Such habitats have been studied by many geographers
including kayastha29. And singh30. How people adapt their
available ecological habitat finds explanation in the settlements and
life patterns of Gaddis and Bhils. New studies are coming up
regarding impact of dam site, port site.

Resorts and change in ecology in newly settled areas such studies

as micro-level would help in many way and in proper
geographization of ecological forecasts31.

1.3 Significance of settlements studies :

The ultimate Goal of human activity is his own welfare

while setting somewhere on the earth to seek the multi dimensional
factors involved in attaining, sustaining and improving human well
being various dynamic aspects of settlements need to be studied
12
thoroughly scanning all along the spectrum32. Hence significance of
human settlements study refers to the following.
(1) It provides clear understanding of where, how and why of
the people in temporal frame.
(2) To provides clear understanding of division of labour
engaged into type of production.
(3) It provides better understanding of the modernized need in
settlements themselves due to increasing number of Nuclesis
family gadgets and day to day changing behaviors of the in
habitats.
4) It provides better picture for the location and developments
of new facilities i.e. supply of drinking water, electricity,
irrigation education.
(5) It provides better understanding of agriculture and pioneer
settlements interrelationship.
(6) It provides better understanding of impact of planned
development.
(7) It provides better understanding of inter regional inter
system and intra-system relationship and arrangement to
integrate the spatial structure of the economy with the
settlement structure.
(8) It provides better understanding of socio-cultural values and
ethos of people.
(9) Provides knowledge regarding varied architectural styles and
their cultural backgrounds.
(10) It provides that better approach for the development of
industry the tents of appropriateness.
(11) It provides human settlement approach at global level.

13
1.4 Study Area : Jalna district is separated from Aurangabad
district in 1981.

Economy of the Jalna district is depending upon agriculture.

The nature of agriculture is changing as per spatial and temporal in
Jalna district. The choice of the area and topic under investigation
has been influenced by several consideration firstly Jalna district
comprising 8 Tahlsils of Maharashtra state has a significant
location of Maharashtra plateau except Ajanta and satmale range
and river basins majority part of the district comes under plateau
region.

The region has major portion under flat topography has it

supports high concentration of agriculture as a result these
characteristics make this region a district physical entity and
homogenous unit for geographical investigation.

Secondly there are 959 villages in Jalna district out of the

total villages 13 villages are uninhabited. Entire district regions
come under drought prone area

About 80% of the annual rainfall as received in the

southwest monsoon period. The variation in the rainfall from year
to year is fairly large. There are seven medium irrigation projects
and advantage of one major project to the region. The work of 290
percolation tanks was completed. IT means that there is a wide
scope for agricultural development in the region. Thirdly this has
black loamy alluvial and murmad soil. Agriculture is developed in
this region. Of deep and medium black soils because they are
having wage irrigation facilities Godavari, Purna, Dudhna and
kundlika jivrekha are the important rivers to the region. Fourthly
the pressure of population of agricultural land was more in 2001.

14
During 2001 the per capita cultivated land was only 0.52 hectare.
Its varies from tahsils to thahsils. It is essential to divert the
population to other business.
Fifthly there is very different settlement in the study region.
In Godavari basin settlements are compact and many villages
resides the bank side and northern part of the district is hilly. And
there settlement pattern is scattered, Agriculture is main occupation
of the region near about 75% population are depend upon
agriculture and its related industries. All these consideration
motivated the author to turn his attention toward the region and its
settlement patterns.
1.5 Aims and objectives : Systematic approach and methodology
has taken significant position in any scientific enquire. In fact it has
become the basic and fundamental need of any attempt of research
in any discipline. As such there has been revolution in the search
methods and approaches to great extent tools and approaches.
These methods and approaches to a great extent serve the purpose.
The main objective of the present research is to study the forms and
characteristics of rural settlements. As attempt has been made to
identify and measure three definable forms of rural settlement
dispersion. (a) Clustering (b) randomness and (c) uniformity. The
major objectives of the study is as follows.
(1) To example the determines of settlements and factors
affecting on types distribution of settlement in study region.
(2) To describe the classification of rural settlement based on
different indices of local and regional scale described
earthier.

15
(3) To study the settlement pattern of the study region and find
out geographical factors associated with this aspect.

(4) To study the rural settlement’s are usually classified in to

distinctive types compact and dispersed with several inter
mediate stage.

(5) Shape and patterns are both important aspects of settlement

dispersion.

(6) To make in depth study of three sample villages of the study

region to identify the level of settlement development.

(7) To prepare a suitable plan and strategy for worthwhile

development of settlement of the study region.

1.6 Hypothesis : The main Hypothesis of the study is as under.

(1) Geographical factors affect the distribution of rural

settlements.

(2) Agricultural development and growth of settlement are

correlated.

(3) Economic activities can change the settlement pattern.

1.7 Database and methodology :

This study is based on primary as well as secondary data

collected from different sources primary data has been collected
from field survey involved to methods i-e the sample survey
method and observation method. The data for the village study
were collected partly from the village records and partly through
personal observation and questionnaires.

Would be administrated to collect information which is not

available by secondary sources. The suitable cartographic

16
techniques has been applied to present the pattern and distribution
of settlement since single variable cannot explain the level of
development and therefore this has been considered numerous
factors which have influence on the pattern and general
characteristics of settlement In the study region. To find out
influence of certain factors. Simple statistical methods Mean
median mode, correlation method has been applied and level of
settlement has been measured by applying statistics techniques.
The secondary data has been collected from different sources
mainly from the government published records like district census
hand book Jalna, report of socio-economic abstract of Jalna district
the present research work of Jalna is a picture sque representative
of multi rural settlement in Maharashtra agglomeration, cultural,
social ecological racial and many other human factors have caused
diffusion and complexities in Jalna district for the purpose of
analytical investigation of dispersion characteristic of settlement in
the research area. Two villages of each thahsils have been selected
and gramps as clustered, random and regular settlement types has
been mapped and first order nearest neighbor measurement
techniques researcher have treated the dispersion values as depends
variables viz water level irrigated land, agricultural labors literacy
and schecluled castes as independent variables. Only a few
methodological studies are available in the field of rural settlement
geography. Suitable research method have been applied to analyze
dispersion of settlements and others characteristics like functional
attributes and relationship with physical and cultural conditions
prevailing in this study area.

17
1.8 Chapter Scheme : the present study is organized into seven
chapters the first chapters deals with the introduction of the study.
In this chapter emphasis is given to the objectives. Approaches,
scope, significance of settlement geography. Choice of the topic
and region Aims and objectives, Database & methodology
Hypothesis, Chapter scheme and Review of literature.

The second chapter deals a Geographical personality of the

region. Location and boundaries physiographic, administrative set
up, Historical background, Geology, Drainage, climate, soil,
natural vegetation, agriculture, irrigation, literacy population and
rural settlements.

The third chapter deals with analytical frame work of rural

settlement dispersion Growth and development of rural
settlements.

Chapter fourth highlighted on the evolution of Rural

settlements, origin of rural settlements early accounts of settlement
evidence of ancient settlements.

Chapter fifth deals with types and patterns of Rural

settlement. Difference between settlement type and pattern,
classification of settlement types and pattern. Factors. Affecting
settlements.

Chapter sixth highlighted on size, spacing and House types

of rural settlements, chi square test nearest neighbor index, size of
rural settlement House types Rural service centers and amenities.

Chapter seventh with conclusion problems and suggestions.

1.9 Review of Literature :

(32) B. Mukharjee (1947) has made a valuable contribution

in her doctoral thesis on the changing settlements in the Hooghly
region of the lower Ganga plain same work has been done by
Ahemad.

(33) Sinha (1950) has analyzed the landscape of tribal

village named Bharbharis in the chotanagpur plateau with
habitations on uplands and field at lower levels and has established
the role of environment on the mode of life of all the communities
living in the village. Lahirs has studied four typical settlement of
Ajoy Barker, basic and has traced the cyclic growth of settlement
through successive stages of youth maturity and old.

(34) Buschaman (1954) has dealt with a number of topics of

rural settlements in his exhaustive field study of settlement pattern
and human types in different regions of India. A glance at his
sketch map illus tracing his paper exhibits that villages surrounded
by wall are still to be found in Assam. Rajasthan and Maharashtra
and Karnataka. The open type of villages with detached hamlets
are the characteristics feature of the Ganga plain.

(35) Anas 1954 has studied the settlement pattern of the

foothill of Himalaya in Tarai Region and the transghagara plain of
eastern u. p. he has distinguished four types of settlement (i) a
some of compact settlements in tarai Region. Which should have
developed dispersed type of settlement (ii) the cluster and hamlet
types of Bhal region. (iii) The fragmented type in the southern half
of the trans ghagara plain (iv) the dispersed type in the khadav
portion of the Ghaghara valley.

19
 (36) R. L. Singh (1957) the several works on settlements
have provided guide line to research scholars in this branch of
geography in one paper he has studied the evolution of settlements
in the middle Ganga valley. Lying between Allahabad and Patna
from the pre historic stage to the modern time.

(37) Bandyopadhyay (1957) has studied the settlement

patteras of Eastern kolhan. A number of research papers on tarai
Area and the Ph.D. thesis on the human geography of Tarai region.

(38) Kaushic (1959) has studied the settlements of Dehradun

valley and jaunsar Bawar which are drainled by Yamuna and tons
respectively. In the Dun valley linear settlement lie along roads and
canals. Most of the remaining settlements are confined between
380 m. and 900 mt. in this region.

(39) Sharma (1974) has studied in detail the settlements of

the Indian Desert He has deduced that general distributional pattern
of rural settlements shows clearly the effect of physical relief.
Rainfall distribution extent of cultivated areas and of means of
irrigation and the impact of the network of transportation.

(40) Mandal (1972) wrote Ph.D. thesis on Rural settlement

Geography in Bihar plain He also published a number of book on
settlements. This one book is on introduction to rural settlements
where discussions are based on the settlements of north Bihar.

(41) Singh R.L. (1976) studied rural settlement in sun valley

plain in Bihar in relation to physical, economic and cultural set up
of the area.
