Clustered

Dispersed

Correct Answer

Hamleted

Sometimes settlement is fragmented into several units physically separated from each other bearing a common name.
These units are locally called panna, para, palli, nagla, dhani, etc. in various parts of the country.
This segmentation of a large village is often motivated by social and ethnic factors. Such villages are more frequently found in the middle and lower Ganga plain, Chhattisgarh and lower valleys of the Himalayas.
Houses in hamleted settlements are close to each other, creating a sense of community and shared space.
The settlement is often organized around a central point or nucleus, and the houses are concentrated in a relatively confined area.
Hamlets are typically smaller than villages or towns, and the population may be relatively modest.
The close proximity of houses encourages social interaction and a sense of community among the residents.
In many cases, hamlets are found in rural or agricultural areas where households are engaged in similar agricultural activities.
