The ancient distribution of wild ungulates in the southern Levant, reported in this study, suggests that major changes in wild ungulate distribution occurred during the Iron Age, a period which is best known for its dramatic human demographic growth, in site size, number and density of sites, and duration of settlements [see 29 and references therein].
Duration of settlement influenced when and how far households moved their cattle.
This pattern of land ownership may be due to the duration of settlement of different groups of Fulani.

The scale and the duration of the settlement plan profoundly affect both the chances for a peaceful settlement and the nature of the occupation itself.
Environmental availability, duration and type of settlement seem to significantly influence the taxonomical representation and must be taken into account when assessing diet breadth in these chronologies.
The results suggest that the decision to move from a village was a complex process in which the population size of a village may have been the single most important, but not the only, determinant of settlement duration.
The researchers developed a sociodemographic questionnaire including gender (1 = female; 2 = male), age, marital status, educational status, monthly income, family type, employment status, type of settlement, and type and duration of diabetes.
In contrast, family size (ß = −0.54), length of duration of residence (ß = −3.31) and history of settlement (ß = −1.79) negatively affected the perception of the local people towards the problems with the existing PFM system.
The benefits of settlements are obvious.
In the 1981 group of settlements with over 50,000 inh added the 3 settlements.
