The generic vision presented above may not only guide planning decisions or provide additional backup of long-desired planning visions like multi-functional settlements, de-centralised concentration, density, nearness, etc. as presented in the introduction section.
The separation into individual patterns, commonly named urban structure types (USTs), supports the characterization of physical, functional, and energetic factors of settlement structures, enabling associated environmental and socio-economic investigations as well as the comparison between the patterns of different cities.
For example, Chen et al. (2011) identified 7954 putative differentially-expressed genes in larvae and adults of B. amphitrite using 454 pyrosequencing [ 13], and Yan et al. (2012) carried out in silico transcriptome data mining to study neuropeptides and their possible functional role in barnacle larval settlement [ 14].
and urban-specific (functional zoning, size and history of the settlements) factors.
Conversely, according to the functional composition, two ways of colonisation are suggested: a passive wind dispersal − the "flying" collembolans − and a settlement through compost inputs.
He privately revealed his belief that of the thousands of fortified settlements built under Nhu's Strategic Hamlet Program, fewer than thirty were functional.
"I think the settlement opens coverage up to pretty much any condition that creates functional impairment," Mr. Thomas said.
Traditional settlement pattern analysis involves classifying sites within a region using previously established functional categories.
The survey data is analyzed and presented in functional diagrams of the human domain, multi-functional space diagrams and diagrams of human settlement patterns.
From a functional perspective, clans help to unify groups by cross-cutting other forms of social organization, such as the settlement, postmarital residence patterns, or age sets.
