Question 1: Types of Settlements (12 Marks) a) Define the following types of rural settlements: Hamlet Village b) Draw a sketch map of your own settlement residential area.

Here are the definitions and an explanation for the sketch map: a) Define the following types of rural settlements: Step 1: Define a Hamlet. A Hamlet is a very small rural settlement, typically consisting of a few houses or farmsteads. It may have a small church but generally lacks shops, schools, or other significant services. A small grouping of a few farmsteads which may have its own church but does not have any shops or services. Step 2: Define a Village. A Village is a larger rural settlement than a hamlet, often centered around a farming community. It typically has more services, such as a post office, a few general stores, and its own primary school. A fairly large farming community which may have a post office, a few general dealers and its own primary school. b) Draw a sketch map of your own settlement residential area. Since I cannot draw, I will describe the key elements you need to include in your sketch map to earn full marks: • Title and Orientation (2 marks): • Give your map a clear and descriptive title (e.g., "Sketch Map of [Your Residential Area]"). • Include a north arrow to indicate direction. • Key/Legend (1 mark): • Create a legend that explains all the symbols you use on your map. For example, a small square for a house, a wavy line for a river, a cross for a church, etc. • Labeling of Features (4 marks): • Draw and label main features such as: • Houses (your own and neighbors'). • Roads (main roads, smaller streets). • Natural features like rivers, forests, or grazing areas if present. • Public buildings like a school, clinic, or church, if they are in your residential area. • Neatness and Accuracy (1 mark): • Ensure your map is drawn clearly, neatly, and accurately represents the layout of your residential area. • Use appropriate and consistent map symbols.
