Do Now: Think about a small town that you know. Make a list of the types of 5+ activities that go on in the town.
LEQ How might the position of a place in a settlement hierarchy affect the people in that place?
What is Accessibility Value? The cost in terms of time and effort to reach people from a given location
What is hierarchy? A system or organization in which people or groups are ranked one above the other according to status or authority.
Create a Hierarchy Pyramid for GHS (See Handout) Teachers Students Principal Academy Leader (aka. Assistant Principal) Academic Deans (aka. Guidance Councelor)
Make a list of all the different types of settlements! (See Question 1 Handout) • Major Metro Center • City - Wilmington • Town (think small city) • Suburb (think mostly homes) • Village (think reeeeeeeeaaaly small city)
Give (name) examples of each type of settlement. (see handout Q2) • Major Metro Center – Philadelphia, • City - Wilmington • Town - Dover • Suburb - Bear • Village - Selbyville
Create a Settlement Hierarchy Pyramid! Order the settlements from highest accessibility value (top) to lowest accessibility value (bottom)
Complete the Table (see back of handout) 5 minutes! Work with a partner for your handout
Pyramid 1 Pyramid 3 Pyramid 2
Ranked Info (ex: Settlement Types: Major Metro Center, City, Town, Suburb, Village) Title (ex: Settlement Type) Leave this blank, it will be covered up
Cut it Out Cut here too!
Fold Here! Fold Here!
Do Now: Where do you live? What type of settlement is it? List 5 examples of activities (business, recreational, etc.). List 3 examples of activities (business, recreations, etc.) that DO NOT, but occur in a larger settlement type
Pyramid 1 Pyramid 3 Pyramid 2
Pyramid 4! My Settlement Where do you live? What type of settlement is it? List 5 examples of activities (business, recreational, etc.). List 3 examples of activities (business, recreations, etc.) that DO NOT, but occur in a larger settlement type Draw a picture of where you live
Why will some activities only be found in the larger places with the best accessibility?
Why will some activities only be found in the larger places with the best accessibility? Any activity has a minimum (threshold) population needed to keep it in business. Activities with large threshold requirements will need access to large populations
Use the following map to describe a hierarchy in the patterns of settlement
More about settlement hierarchies… there are more people (e.g. employees) in the larger settlements higher in the settlement hierarchy there are likely to be a large number of small places and far fewer large places in the hierarchy
True or False? True = thumbs up False = thumbs down
Settlements Higher up on the Hierarchy are less accessible False
More people live in settlements at the top of the “settlement hierarchy”
More people live in settlements at the top of the “settlement hierarchy” True
Settlements at the bottom of the settlement hierarchy have fewer business and recreational “activities”
More people live in settlements at the top of the “settlement hierarchy”
More people live in settlements at the top of the “settlement hierarchy” True
Some activities are available in a few settlement types because they only require a small number of people.
Some activities are available in a few settlement types because they only require a small number of people. False
Some activities are available in many different settlement types because they only require a small number of people.
Some activities are available in many different settlement types because they only require a small number of people. True
Scenario You will take the role of state health planners, trying to decide where to locate Delaware’s next new hospital. Use geographical analysis based on the hierarchy principle to determine the most likely location.
