The conquest of rural settlements in the Brazilian countryside has led to the certainty of new daily challenges for the settlers, including the struggle for public policies that boost production, income generation, and good quality education. The article aims to analyze the use of social cartography in the Antônio Conselheiro Settlement, located between Ocara and Aracoiaba in Ceará, Brazil. The methodological procedure is part of a research project carried out between 2016 and 2018 and was developed based on pedagogical workshops conducted with students of the Education Service for Youth and Adult Rural Workers (EJA) at Raimundo Facó School. Additionally, fieldwork, interviews, preliminary sketches, and the collective map were used in the research. This Social cartography was developed at a time when the communities were experiencing conflict with public agencies and looking for ways to demonstrate their work and autonomy in the management of spaces for production, marketing, and leisure. The results show a consolidated rural settlement with the production, consumption, and commercialization of agricultural and artisanal products. The introduction of social cartography to the community through adult elementary education is a differentiated approach to the dialogue between popular and geographic knowledge and is fundamental for interpreting the peasant reality.

The article assesses the intensity of transformation of settlement pattern in Yakutia, the largest northern region of Russia, based on an analysis of 1939-2010 censuses and contemporary statistics. Scope of the work includes the following: to assess key socio-economic results of rural and urban settlement pattern transformation in the 20th century, to determine the most persistent primary units of settlement pattern, and to identify current trends in the settlement pattern of Yakutia. The research database was built based on digitization of Federal State Statistics Service in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) population censuses archives. The period under review shows a trend toward larger size of settlements due to two parallel processes: urbanization as a result of industrial development, and compression of rural settlement system due to amalgamation of rural settlements. From 1939 to the present time, Yakutia’s settlement system has been evolving from dispersed type to large settlement type. There were two major waves in the structuring of space in Yakutia. During the first one, caused by industrialization and complete collectivization, shrinking of rural settlement system was accompanied by setup of rural and urban settlements; it started in the 1930s and lasted until late 1950s. The second wave, concurrent with controlled compression of rural settlement pattern as part of elimination of unpromising sovkhoz state farms, was associated with a full-scale development of urban settlement pattern under planned Soviet deployment. Starting from 2002, market mechanisms have changed the direction of development of settlement system and spatial structure of economic activity. Despite several constraints, which include high transportation costs, focal development, key role of mining and resource sector, distinctive features of traditional economies and agriculture, agglomeration processes have gained momentum in the region. Spatial concentration of population is taking place at relatively high rates, primarily in the core of the system - Yakutsk agglomeration. Compression capacity of settlement system in the region is far from being exhausted, as evidenced by behavior of Theil and Herfindahl-Hirschman indices, as well as by average population density of settlements.

This paper, taking the example of the rural settlement in north Shaanxi province, explores the effective approaches to preserving the traditional architecture and its culture and concentrates on study and protection of the cultural characteristics of the built environment. The paper serves to emphasize the investigation into the cultural identity of the physical and mental environment closely related to everyday life in a built environment, specialty and uncertainty of the cultural traits in a particular area and analyses of the interrelated social factors. The paper is established in the field research into a typical village in a particular area and comparative analysis of the general character and individuality of the cultural identity, resulting in a highly targeted concrete protection strategy. There are various factors that could have effects on the cultural identity of the physical and mental environment closely related to everyday life in a built environment, among which social factors are fairly dominant. The rural settlements embody the traditional cultural contexts in quite a few different aspects. Thus, it is of actual significance to formulate a corresponding inheriting strategy based on seeking for their influencing factors and embodiments.

Abstract: Related research on the growth and development process of rural settlement areas, with a case study in the Geulanggang Batee village area, which is located at the mouth of a river on the west coast of Aceh, is vulnerable to natural hazards. The development of the parts of the area is not the same which can be traced from the time of the Aceh kingdom to the 21st century. The aim of this research is to find out the causes of differences in the development of the region and the patterns of sustainable adaptation in the community. This study is important to carry out to determine the potential sustainability of a rural settlement that is prone to disasters. Qualitative research approach interpretative phenomenology in case studies. Physical data is obtained from satellite imagery looking at the potential location and changes in land use in the area. Non-physical data is obtained by interviewing community leaders about the dynamics of changes that have occurred. The data is analyzed with a dynamic system, looking at the cause and effect of changes. The results of the research are related to two things: a) the part of the area whose development has retreated due to the threat of natural disasters, adapting patterns by moving away from disasters, so that settlements become empty, improving disaster-prone areas by engineering land techniques and modifying livelihoods to survive: b) parts of the area whose development is progressing as a new place for people to live from the coast, modernizing agriculture, seems to have implemented the smart village concept, has high accessibility to the main roads of the area. The conclusion of this research is that the development of a rural area can synergize with geographical conditions, respond to the demands of modern life by transforming knowledge values that are in line with local values. Keywords: Growth and Development, Sustainable Adaptation, Rural Settlements, River Estuaries, Aceh West Coast Abstrak: Penelitian terkait tentang proses tumbuh kembang kawasan permukiman perdesaan, dengan studi kasus pada kawasan gampong Geulanggang Batee, yang berlokasi di muara sungai pesisir Barat Aceh serta rentan terhadap bahaya alam.

Urban Settlements

For a considerable span of human history, following the adoption of agricultural economies but prior to the emergence of settlements that we label as ‘urban’, small permanent communities or ‘villages’ were the main types of settlements, as also were places intermittently occupied by mobile, nomadic groups. The context of these, however, differed from those small or rural settlements that existed within an integrated network of centres in urban and state societies. A third scenario is the case of small-scale rural settlements that may exist at the margins of complex societies and, hence, outside state/political control but could still be socially and economically networked with other centres. Thus, the concept of ‘rural’ needs to be situated and interrogated within specific political, social and economic contexts. While archaeological research has addressed village settlements in pre-urban periods, once urbanism and the state societies emerged, urban settlements became the focus of attention. Even though surveys have shown the distribution of settlements of varying sizes, we do not seem to know much about early historic and medieval villages, in terms of settlement layouts, domestic spaces, crafts, if any, or even subsistence practices. It is this lacuna that we are trying to address through our work at a small, rural settlement in the Upper Ganga-Yamuna Doab. Some of the questions that we raise in this article deal with terms like ‘urban’, or ‘rural’, whether these should be viewed as binaries, or whether it may be more fruitful, as others have suggested, to see settlements in a continuum.
