Question
Not all rural settlements change into urban settlements.
✓
Answer
The area between rural and urban is called rural-urban fringe.
Villages are beyond the rural-urban fringe and cities have different land use pattern.
In villages, land is mainly used for agriculture and related activities such as permanent pasture, grazing land, miscellaneous tree crops and groves, fallow land etc.
In city areas land is mainly used for industries, residential purpose, recreation, transportation etc.
Since the villages are far away from the city, they maintain their distinct identity and do not change into urban settlement.
