Bentuk-Bentuk dan Jenis Pola Permukiman|| Geografi Permukiman

Summary

In this presentation, Siti Masrokah, a Geography Education student at Universitas PGRI Palembang, explains settlement geography. She defines settlement patterns as the arrangement of human residences and activities, influenced by factors like natural terrain, soil fertility, climate, and culture. Siti explores three types of settlement patterns: linear (along rivers, roads, or coasts), scattered (in highland areas), and centralized (grouped in mountainous regions). Additionally, she discusses how relief, soil fertility, climate, and cultural practices shape these patterns. The presentation concludes with a respectful farewell and a call for understanding.

Takeaways

• 😀 Settlements are areas outside protected zones, where people live and engage in various activities.
• 😀 The form and pattern of settlements reflect the relationship between space and mass, and patterns exhibit regularity in design and abstract concepts.
• 😀 Settlement patterns can be categorized into three types: elongated, scattered, and centralized.
• 😀 Elongated settlement patterns follow features like rivers, coastlines, or roads, and are often found in lowland areas with gentle slopes.
• 😀 Scattered settlement patterns are typical in highland areas or volcanic regions with less fertile soil.
• 😀 Centralized settlement patterns are found in mountainous or isolated areas, where settlements are grouped together.
• 😀 Factors influencing settlement patterns include relief or terrain features, soil fertility, climate conditions, and cultural influences.
• 😀 Settlements along rivers or railroads tend to align with these features and provide pathways for development.
• 😀 Fertile soil areas, especially in rural regions, attract higher population density due to better agricultural prospects.
• 😀 In areas with cold temperatures, such as mountainous regions, settlements tend to be more compact, while in hotter climates like coastal regions, settlements are more spread out.
• 😀 Cultural factors, such as the traditions of specific groups like the Baduy or Dayak tribes, influence settlement arrangements, often resulting in group-oriented settlements.

Q & A

What is the definition of the form and pattern in the context of settlement geography?

In settlement geography, 'form' refers to clear elements that can be recognized by their shape, while 'pattern' refers to regularity in design or abstract ideas that show how elements are arranged.

How are settlements defined in the transcript?

Settlements are part of the environment, outside protected areas, and can exist in both urban and rural areas. They function as residential areas and places for daily activities that support life and livelihood.

What are the three main types of settlement patterns discussed in the script?

The three main types of settlement patterns discussed are: 1) Elongated or linear, 2) Scattered or radial, and 3) Centralized.

What characterizes an elongated or linear settlement pattern?

An elongated settlement pattern follows specific features such as rivers, roads, railroad tracks, or coastlines. The settlements are typically located on both sides of these features and are often found in low-lying areas with sloping terrain.

Where are scattered or radial settlement patterns typically found?

Scattered or radial settlement patterns are generally found in highland areas, volcanic regions, or places with less fertile land.

What is the key feature of a centralized settlement pattern?

A centralized settlement pattern involves groups of settlements that are clustered together, usually in mountainous or highland areas with rough terrain. These settlements tend to be isolated from each other.

What are some of the factors that influence settlement patterns?

Factors influencing settlement patterns include relief (such as mountains or lowlands), soil fertility, climate conditions (like temperature and solar radiation), and cultural practices of the population.

How does soil fertility affect settlement patterns?

People tend to settle in areas with fertile soil, as these regions support better agricultural activities and provide more reliable resources for living.

How does climate influence the way settlements are organized?

In areas with cold temperatures, such as mountainous regions, settlements tend to be closer together. In contrast, in hot climates, such as coastal areas, settlements are often more spread out.

Can you provide an example of how culture influences settlement patterns?

An example is the Baduy community in Banten, where their settlement pattern is influenced by their culture. The Dayak tribe in Kalimantan also has settlements that tend to be grouped due to cultural practices.
