    Cluster settlements are rural villages where houses and farms are located very close together, with fields surrounding them. Public buildings like schools and churches are located together in the center. They are commonly found in fertile plains and northeastern India. The layout reflects the land, economy, and local culture. Compact settlements have dwellings built very closely where land is flat. They are found in cultivated parts of India like plateaus and valleys. This type also has a central area for public buildings, with gardens and farms in surrounding rings. Compound settlements feature houses that share a common outer wall, leaving a large gap between them, and are usually found in modern cities for housing extended families near local markets.

    Cluster Settlements:

    A clustered rural settlement or a nucleated village is a


    rural settlement  where a number of families live in close
    proximity to each other, with fields surrounding the collection of
    houses and farm buildings. In reference to this above image,
    we can see that the houses are very close to each other. And
    there are farms very near to the houses. The type of people live
    in such regions are mostly dependent on the agriculture. These
    are poor people who might be living very far away from the city
    market. So they are bound to live in close proximity in order to
    help each other. This type of settlements have a centre where
    several public buildings are located such as the community hall,
    bank, commercial complex, school, and church very close to
    each other. Clustered settlement in India normally found in
    fertile alluvial plains and in the north-eastern states. The layout
    of this type of village reflects historical circumstances, the
    nature of the land, economic conditions, and local cultural
    characteristics. The rural settlement patterns range
    from compact  to linear, to circular, and grid.
    Compact Settlements:

    A compact settlement is a closely built area of dwellings


    wherever flat land is available. In a
    scattered settlement dwellings are spaced over an extensive
    area. Such settlements are found throughout the plateau
    region of Malwa, in the Narmada Valley, Neymar upland, large
    parts of Rajasthan, paddy lands in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh,
    Vindhyan Plateau and several other cultivated parts of India.
    This model has a centre where several public buildings are
    located such as the community hall, bank, commercial complex,
    school, and church. Small garden plots are located in the first
    ring surrounding the houses, continued with large cultivated
    land areas, pastures, and woodlands in successive rings. The
    compact settlements are located either in the plain areas with
    important water resources or in some hilly and mountainous
    depressions. In some cases, the compact villages are designed
    to conserve land for farming, standing in sharp contrast to the
    often isolated farms of the American Great Plains or Australia.
    Compact settlements can be a cluster, but a cluster may not be
    a compact settlement.
    Compound Settlements:

    A settlement of land arising from a series of trust instruments,


    e.g. a resettlement following the barring of an entailed interest,
    is called as a compound settlement. In this type of settlements,
    the two row houses or the two bungalows share a common
    compound wall, i.e. there is a large gap between the two
    houses. This type of houses are mostly built in the modern
    cities or towns like New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, etc. This
    houses are largely constructed for the purpose of settling a
    large gathering of family. Local markets are very much nearer
    to this type of houses.
