Village
A village is a clustered human settlement or
community, larger than a
hamlet, but smaller than a
town or
city. Though generally located in
rural areas, the term
urban village may be applied to certain
urban neighbourhoods, such as the
West Village in
Manhattan,
New York City and the
Saifi Village in
Beirut,
Lebanon. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, as against being scattered broadly over the landscape (‘
dispersed settlement’).
