Study Notes
Types of Spatial Patterns
-
Linear Pattern: Represents a line formation; common in structures like housing along roads.
-
Random Pattern: Each location on a map has equal probability of occurrence; no identifiable structure or arrangement.
-
Peripheral Pattern: Features located around the outer edge; exemplified by new housing developments on city outskirts.
-
Nucleated Pattern: Central clustering around a focal point; occurs in areas like houses near crossroads.
-
Dispersed Pattern: Elements are widely spaced apart; notable example includes farms scattered in New Zealand's South Island high country.
-
Clustered Pattern: Opposite of dispersed, with features concentrated in proximity; common in nightlife districts with many nightclubs near city centers.
-
Concentrated Pattern: Characterized by dense arrangement of features; in New Zealand, population heavily clustered in urban areas.
-
Sparse Pattern: Features are rare in a given area; often observed in settlements within desert regions.
-
Radial Pattern: Arises from a central point, radiating outward; typical of rivers that flow down from a mountain peak.
-
Grid Pattern: Consists of intersecting parallel lines; typical in urban planning with streets arranged in a grid layout.
