an agent based model for exploring the combined effects of social and demographic changes on the concentration and hierarchy of Rural Settlement patterns in north western europe during the middle ages 800 1200 ce
Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, 2020Co-Authors: Cecile Tannier, Robin Cura, Samuel Leturcq, Elisabeth ZadorarioAbstract:Abstract Rural Settlement patterns in North-Western Europe in 800 CE were scattered and impermanent. By 1200 they had become much more concentrated and enduring. Although this phenomenon occurred in all regions, Settlement concentration and hierarchy differed widely. In this paper, we seek to better understand how the processes influencing the concentration and hierarchy of Rural Settlement patterns might act in different ways. To do this, we build an agent-based model entitled SimFeodal that simulates their combined effects on the relocation of peasant households from 800 to 1200. Our research objective is to determine how certain social and demographic variables interacted with the processes modelled to produce different regional Settlement patterns. We simulate a series of 15 scenarios with SimFeodal on the basis of data available for the diocese of Tours (France). The results show that demographic growth was not the primary cause of increasing Settlement hierarchy. However, introducing demographic growth into the simulated scenarios yields simulation results that better match the empirical data. Interestingly, the size of villages and small towns in 800, the proportion of peasant households relocating only locally and the power of village communities do not seem to influence concentration and hierarchy in the simulated patterns.

the changing Settlements in Rural areas under urban pressure in china patterns driving forces and policy implications
Landscape and Urban Planning, 2013Co-Authors: Minghong TanAbstract:Rural areas under urban pressure (Rural areas under pressure) in China face a growing conflict between the expansion of developed areas and the protection of cropland. The concentration of Rural Settlements has been embraced by local governments as a strategy to alleviate the conflict between these two land-use needs. This paper used Daxing District, Beijing, China as a case study to discuss the evolution of Rural Settlements in China over the past three decades and to consider the policy implications for Rural Settlement concentration. The results showed that: (1) over the past three decades, Rural Settlements have remained evenly distributed, and in 2007 each Settlement had an average of 609 inhabitants; (2) the area of Rural Settlements has increased by approximately 100% because of various factors such as decreasing household size, increasing numbers of migrants, and improvements in living conditions; and (3) the shape of Rural Settlements has become more regular. These factors pose challenges to concentrating Rural Settlements. This study recommends that Rural Settlement concentration and restructuring should pay special attention to the economies of scale of market towns and large and merged villages, which can house larger populations and better accommodate industry in the future. 2013 Elsevier B.V.
