| Which of the following type of rural settlements are found in Rajasthan? |
Clustered Hamleted Clustered , Semi Clustered and Hamleted Clustered and Semi Clustered |
| Clustered and Semi Clustered |
| Semi-clustered or fragmented settlements may result from the tendency of clustering in a restricted area of dispersed settlement. More often such a pattern may also result from segregation or fragmentation of a large compact village. In this case, one or more sections of the village society choose or is forced to live a little away from the main cluster or village. In such cases, generally, the land-owning and dominant community occupies the central part of the main village, whereas people of lower strata of society and menial workers settle on the outer flanks of the village. Such settlements are widespread in the Gujarat plain and some parts of Rajasthan. In Rajasthan, scarcity of water has also necessitated compact settlement for maximum utilisation of available water resources. |
