An urban geographical study of a developing nation reveals that millions of rural dwellers relocate to the capital city annually due to severe drought and crop failure in agrarian provinces. This rapid population influx leads to spontaneous, ribbon-like residential developments expanding along major transport arteries radiating outward from the city margin. Which of the following correctly identifies both the primary migration driver responsible for this population movement and the resulting urban settlement pattern?
- A push factor driving population movement, resulting in a linear settlement patternCevap
- BA pull factor driving population movement, resulting in a linear settlement pattern
- CA push factor driving population movement, resulting in a nucleated settlement pattern
- DA pull factor driving population movement, resulting in a nucleated settlement pattern
Cevap
A push factor driving population movement, resulting in a linear settlement pattern
The choice identifying a push factor resulting in a linear settlement pattern is correct because drought and crop failure at the rural origin force people to leave (push factor), and settlement expanding continuously along transport corridors forms a line-like distribution (linear pattern).
