Question 1 Report
Fig. 1 is a field-sketch map made during an investigation of settlements in south Punjab. It shows a hamlet, a large village, a market town and Multan, linked by roads. The researchers want to identify how settlement size affects access to important services.
(a) Identify the settlement with the highest order of services. [1]
(b) Describe one difference between the hamlet and the market town shown in Fig. 1. [1]
(c) Explain why people from smaller settlements may travel to Multan for some services. [2]
Answer Details
(a) Multan [1] (b) Any one valid difference: the hamlet has fewer houses / people [1]; the market town has shops or a clinic whereas the hamlet does not [1]; the market town is connected by a main road [1]. (c) Any two: Multan has specialised services such as major hospitals or colleges [1]; these services need a large threshold population and cannot be provided economically in every small settlement [1]; better road links make travel to the city possible [1].
