Settlement Patterns. The settlement patterns are in Kiambu and environs are influenced by rural to urban migration, good infrastructure and proximity to Nairobi. Majority of the population reside within Kiambu Township which is the main market centre of Ndumberi, Thindigwa and Kirigiti. The project area is densely populated and land is subdivided into small sizes. Currently, there is a high rate of change of user of land from agricultural to residential due to high housing pressure from Kiambu, Kiambu and Nairobi towns.
Settlement Patterns. The settlement patterns are in Kikuyu and environs are influenced by rural to urban migration, good infrastructure and proximity to Nairobi. Majority of the population reside within Kikuyu Township which is the main market centre of other area which have developed due to influence of PCEA church include Kikuyu Hospital, Alliance High School and Kikuyu Campus and Thogoto areas. The project area is less populated and land is subdivided into small sizes. Currently, there is a high rate of change of user of land from agricultural to residential due to high housing pressure from Nairobi towns.
Settlement Patterns. An ongoing issue has concerned the importance and permanence of settlement at Lake Cahuilla. Was the shoreline a magnet that drew large groups of migrants into the Salton Basin from surrounding regions for seasonal or year-round settlement when the lake was present? Or were lacustrine resources used primarily or exclusively on a more incidental and temporary basis, by groups that were more permanently based elsewhere, for instance in the Peninsular Range or on the Colorado River? Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx (1959), Xxxxx X. X’Xxxxxxx (1971), and Xxxxx (1978) suggested that major population relocations to and from Lake Cahuilla occurred in response to its cycles. This “Xxxxx model” was based at least in part on archaeological evidence for substantial perennial settlement near the lake’s northern end, in the Coachella Valley. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx (2011) recently suggested that archaeological evidence of “temporary camps” (a classification that has been applied to IMP-3999) along the southern sections of the Lake Cahuilla shoreline may be misleading, because the Yuman groups on the Colorado River and its delta were accustomed to live in dispersed rancherias rather than within strongly nucleated villages. According to Xxxxxxxxx’x hypothesis, groups from the Colorado River’s delta relocated to the lake shore when the river shifted away from the delta to fill the lake, and returned to the delta when the lake desiccated. A contrary view was proposed by Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxx (1976) and generally supported by Xxxxxxxx (1994a). According to the “Xxxxx model,” the lake’s instability or impermanence discouraged too great a reliance on its resources, and their use was sporadic and incidental within the larger regional settlement system, particularly in the case of the eastern shoreline. Investigations at IMP-3999 may be able to shed light on the question of whether this site was used as a temporary camp, or whether it was occupied for a more extended period as a residential base by a small (family-sized) group. The functional range of artifacts present at the site may provide one clue: a residential base would be expected to contain evidence of more diverse activities than a temporary camp. Another line of evidence may be the amount and character of non-local items that are present in the assemblage. While some artifacts of exotic origin might well be carried along during a group’s move to a temporary camp, the camp’s occupants would not be expected to have made extended treks to bring in...
Settlement Patterns. The settlement patterns are in Limuru and environs are influenced by rural to urban migration, good infrastructure and proximity to Nairobi. Majority of the population reside within Limuru Township which is the main market centre. The project area is densely populated and land is subdivided into small sizes.

Settlement Patterns this theme involves planning for urban and rural development. ▪ Involves cooperative management of growth and urban development issues in the sub-region consistent with key principles and objectives of the Canberra Spatial Plan and the Sydney-Canberra Corridor study (under development), particularly sustainability and containment. Infrastructure – which will cover all hard and soft infrastructure including transport, communications and community infrastructure. While water supply would normally be included in this category its paramount importance is recognised by it having its own theme. Economic Development – industry, business and community development, investment and marketing for the region. ▪ Joint approaches to economic and industry development. Service Delivery – covers the delivery of services, particularly human services, across the ACT-NSW border. Emergency and Consequence Management - Covers issues of National Capital Security, all levels of government and business continuity, regional security and Emergency Management. Work plans
