The three principal aspects of landscape are settlement forms, land-division patters, and architectural styles. Settlement forms are the explanations of the human lanscape by geographers. Land-division patters identify the ways that people use land economically, socially, and politically. Architectural styles are used by geographers to further understand the values and bliefs that cultures may hold.
Settlement forms![]() The two types of settlement forms are nucleation and dispersed. Nucleation refers to the density of lanscape elements. A dispersed settlement form is a lanscape in which everything is spaced out.
