🌍 People and Places \ where people live

 

🏡 Where people lived in the past

• Long ago, people chose places to live carefully.
• They needed water, food, and safety.
• Many people lived near:
  • Rivers 💧
  • The sea 🌊
  • Flat land for farming 🌾
• They also looked for safe places like hills or areas easy to protect.

🏙️ Where people live today

• Today, people still need food, water, and safety.
• But now they also want:
  • Schools 🏫
  • Hospitals 🏥
  • Shops 🛍️
  • Jobs 💼
• Cities have many services and buildings, so more people live there.

📍 Location of settlements

• A settlement is a place where people live.
• Settlements are often built:
  • Near water 💧
  • On good land for farming 🌱
  • Along trade routes 🚢✈️
• In the Arabian Gulf, many cities are near the coast because of water and trade.

⭐ Key Idea

People choose where to live based on their needs.

• In the past: survival (food, water, safety).
• Today: survival + comfort (schools, jobs, services).
