| Summary: | The relation between altitude and settlement has been explained in this study which aims to indicate the distribution of city settlements, village and the towns in Afyonkarahisar province in respect of altitude zones or stages. How settlements indicate or introduce distribution in respect of altitude zones by exemplifying Afyonkarahisar province with different point of view for the distribution of settlement in the world. Firstly, setlements have been classified and the change of each settlement type with altitude has been observed. The number of settlements and settlement types which are located in each altitude zone, have been evaluated by considering natural conditions of altitude zone. Managerial integrity has been provided by considering altitude zones which have settlements and their managerial units. The changes of settements are similar to the changes in physical geographical conditions, as the changes of settlements in Afyonkarahisar province is related to the altitude. In other words, the more suitable physical conditions for human activities means the more the number of settlements in terms of city and the towns. Altitude interval between 900-1300 meters is the most common in terms of the number of settlements as well as increasing city and town settlements. As the altitude which increases, causes the decreases in the number of settlements, it causes the increases in the village settlements. For this reason, the areas which are over certain altitudes, are not suitable for human activities. This condition indicates a clear relation between human and environment in terms of altitude zones |
