What is Human settlement?
{{unref|date=February 2012}} [[File:בית הטירה - הכרמל (10).JPG|thumb|Human settlement]] In [[archaeology]], [[geography]], and [[history]], a '''human settlement''' is a place where people live, either permanently (all the time) or temporarily (only some of the time). When people go to an area to live there, it is called '''settling''' an area. When they come from far away it is sometimes called a [[colony]]. The term may include [[Hamlet (place)|hamlet]]s, [[village]]s, [[suburb]]s, [[town]]s and [[city|cities]]. [[Nomadic people]] do not settle. {{geo-stub}} [[Category:Population]] [[Category:Settlements| ]]
