  • Intensive urban growth can lead to greater poverty with local governments unable to provide services for all their people.
  • Too much dumping of waste creates multiple health hazards, that increase the rate of illness in that area.
  • Here conditions are unhygienic with poor sanitation, leading to water accumulation and breeding grounds for mosquitoes, houseflies etc in nearby areas.
  • Urban areas' poor drainage system leads to flooding in the lower urban are.
  • Overpopulation leads to a high demand for water which causes water scarcity.
  • Physical barriers to tree growth-promoting loss of urban tree cover.
  • Overpopulation in urban areas leads to the loss of habitat and food sources.
  • In urban areas lack of safety and high crime rate sometimes comes as a negative thing in the environment.
  • Competition for a limited number of jobs (unskilled) occurs between locals and urban migrants.
  • Since most cities in developing countries are unplanned, it creates severe congestion.
  • In urban areas, an increasing proportion of the population lives in substandard housing, e.g. slums and squatter settlements that low the standard of living in those areas.

By increasing the risk of illness and diseases - Negative Impact

Increase in crime rate in urban areas - Negative Impact

4. Absence of Irrigation

Which of the above are problems faced by Rural Settlements?

Detailed Solution for Geography: CUET Mock Test - 5 - Question 30

Problems of Rural Settlements

  • Rural settlements in the developing countries are large in number and poorly equipped with infrastructure. 
  • They represent a great challenge and opportunity for planners. 
  • Supply of water to rural settlements in developing countries is not adequate. 
  • People in villages, particularly in mountainous and arid areas have to walk long distances to fetch drinking water. 
  • Water borne diseases such as cholera and jaundice tend to be a common problem. 
  • The countries of South Asia face conditions of drought and flood very often. 
  • Crop cultivation sequences, in the absence of irrigation, also suffer. 
  • The general absence of toilet and garbage disposal facilities cause health related problems. 
  • The design and use of building materials of houses vary from one ecological region to another. 
  • The houses made up of mud, wood and thatch, remain susceptible to damage during heavy rains and floods, and require proper maintenance every year. 
  • Most house designs are typically deficient in proper ventilation. 
  • Besides, the design of a house includes the animal shed along with its fodder store within it. 
  • This is purposely done to keep the domestic animals and their food properly protected from wild animals. 
  • Unmetalled roads and lack of modern communication networks creates a unique problem. 
  • During the rainy season, the settlements remain cut off and pose serious difficulties in providing emergency services. 
  • It is also difficult to provide adequate health and educational infrastructure for their large rural population. 
  • The problem is particularly serious where proper villagization has not taken place and houses are scattered over a large area.
