Research on Traditional Human Settlement Environment System in the Three-North Plain Driven by Water Conservancy Construction by Yingxue MA, Wei GUO

“…With regard to the settlement environment system, the characteristics of water conservancy facilities exert a profound influence on the settlement construction method: Retention ponds convey irrigation water through a reticulated water network, with settlements arranged in a group-like layout at the nodes of the network; seawalls are crossed by a line, so that the settlements are arranged in a linear layout with seawalls as the reference (specifically including linear scattering, comb-toothed, herring-bone, and linear encircling layouts). …”

Evaluation of Rural Human Settlement Development Quality and Impact Analysis: Empirical Evidence from China’s Micro Survey? by Sheng Xu, Xichuan Liu, Yu Xiao, Lu Zhang

“…The purpose of this study is to construct and evaluate the quality of rural human settlements in China from a micro perspective. To achieve this objective, the main tasks include constructing an evaluation system for rural human settlement quality from a micro perspective; measuring the overall and dimension-specific quality levels of rural human settlements using the entropy method based on data from 108 villages in Shandong, Jilin, and Hubei provinces; and further analyzing the influencing factors of rural human settlement quality, focusing on village per capita income, resident population, fire incidents, and agricultural input prices. …”

‘This settlement is just a launch pad to move to better city spaces’: radical sense of place and migration aspirations among youth migrants in the diaspora by Johannes Bhanye, Abraham Matamanda, Ruvimbo Shayamunda

“…Abstract This ethnographic study investigates the perceptions of place and migration aspirations among young migrants within the Malawian diaspora in Lydiate, an informal settlement in Zimbabwe. Unlike traditional conceptions of diaspora that emphasize long-term settlement and place attachment, this study introduces the concept of a ‘radical sense of place,’ where the settlement is viewed not as a permanent home but as a temporary staging ground for future aspirations. …”
