\n\u00a0WEEK ONE
\nREVISION\/SETTLEMENT INTERACTIONS
\nINTER-DEPENDENCE BETWEEN RURAL AND URBAN SETTLEMENTS
\nUrban and rural settlements depend on each other for their continuous existence
\nA<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Dependence of Urban Settlement on Rural Settlement
\nThe rural areas perform the following functions for the urban centres.
\n(1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Provision of Food: Urban areas like cities and large towns depend on rural areas for food stuff like yam, plantain beans, cassava, tomatoes etc.
\n(2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Unskilled Labour Supply: So many unskilled labour in urban areas are supplied by the rural areas due to the low level of most people in the rural area.
\n(3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Medicinal herbs: Pharmaceutical companies in cities depend on the rural areas for the supply of medicinal herbs and roots.
\n(4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Industrial Raw Materials: Raw materials like latex, cocoa, cotton etc. Needed by manufacturing industries are supplied from rural areas to the industries in urban areas:<\/p>\n

\u00a0However, some problems that limit the performance of the rural areas to perform these functions include:
\n(i)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Rural \u2013 Urban Migration
\n(ii)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Increasing literacy level by rural dwellers.
\n(iii)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Lack of agricultural lands to farm
\n(iv)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Technological development which makes the whole world a global village.
\n(v)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Natural disaster like soil erosion, flooding etc.<\/p>\n

\u00a0B<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ways the Rural Settlements depend on Urban Settlements
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The urban centres perform the following functions for the rural areas:
\n(1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Manufactured good such as the supply of processed food like milk, sugar, bread, drugs etc.
\n(2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Market: Urban areas like Lagos and Ibadan provide markets for agricultural products from rural areas
\n(3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Employment e.g. to skilled and unskilled labour from rural areas.
\n(4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Higher Education: Rural areas depend on urban areas for higher education such as universities polytechnics etc.
\n(5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Capital Flow: There is always a flow of capital from urban to rural areas e.g. the flow of currencies, trade and commerce including shares and stocks.
\n(6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Information: Radio, television, news papers etc usually disseminate information from the urban areas to the rural areas.
\n(7)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Medical Services: Rural areas enjoy medical services from urban areas such include: the services of Teaching and Specialist Hospital, General Hospitals etc.
\n(8)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Administrative Function: Most of the administrative headquarters are in the urban areas. Rural areas therefore depend on the urban areas for effective governance.
\n(9)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Diffusion of innovation and ideas: e.g. social and education ideas flow from the urban areas to the rural areas e.g. Internet facilities, satellite and cable network, styles and fashion, resort centres, hotels etc.<\/p>\n

\u00a0However, some major problems may limit the performance of the above functions by urban area;
\n(i)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Political discrimination
\n(ii)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Nepotism and Tribalism
\n(iii)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Inadequate communication facilities between the two areas.
\n(iv)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Storage problems due to seasonality of products.
\n(v)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Tribal \/inter-tribal wars and other social unrest.<\/p>\n
