Linear pattern: In such settlements houses are located along a road, railway line, river, canal edge of a valley or along a levee.

T -shaped settlements develop at tri-junctions of the roads.

Circular pattern: Circular villages develop around lakes, tanks and sometimes the village is planned in such a way that the central part remains open and is used for keeping the animals to protect them from wild animals.

Star like pattern: Where several roads converge, star shaped settlements develop by the houses built along the roads.
