  1. Chapter 19: Rural Settlement Patterns

  2. Canada’s population density… • 3.1 people per square kilometre • To calculate: 31,000,000 people 10,000,000 km2

  3. 1 km2

  4. Population Distribution is NOT Population Density

  5. Population Distribution • Dispersed • Concentrated

  6. Population Distribution Linear Pattern Dispersed Concentrated They all have the same population density

  7. Settlement patterns vary… • Large cities • Rural areas • Ocean coasts • Remote regions

  8. Rural settlement • Occurs outside cities and towns • Characterized by • low population density • Dispersed population

  9. 3 key factors affect rural settlement • Kind of resources found in the area • Agriculture • Mining • Transportation available at time of settlement • Rivers • Roads • Government policy • Survey systems

  10. 3 key factors resulted in: • The long lots of southern Quebec • The concession system of southern Ontario • The section system of the Prairies

  11. Long Lots of Southern Quebec http://maps.google.ca/maps?ie=UTF8&hl=en&t=h&ll=46.256144,-72.891583&spn=0.01178,0.027423&z=15

  12. Concession System of Southern Ontario http://maps.google.ca/maps?ie=UTF8&hl=en&t=h&ll=44.055025,-79.701176&spn=0.048977,0.109692&z=13

  13. Section System of the Southern Prairies http://maps.google.ca/maps?ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=50.317847,-105.140533&spn=0.087031,0.219383&t=h&z=12

  14. You will now work in groups to learn more about each of these settlement patterns.

  15. Summarize your settlement pattern • Who • What • When • Where • Why • Draw a picture
