Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFNearest neighbour statistic:
- Nearest Neighbor Analysis measures the spread or distribution of something over geographical space.
- It provides a numerical value that describes the extent to which a set of points are clustered or uniformly spaced.
- This command uses the Clark and Evans (1954) aggregation index R as the basis for a crude test of clustering or order of a point pattern.
- The Rn value determines the randomness of the given settlements.
- For this two things are requires, Area (a) and the length between settlements.
- The formula is,
- Where, a = total area , n = number of settlement, D = mean distance
Important Points
Analysis of the question:
Therefore, Uniform would be the pattern of distribution of rural settlements in an area if their nearest neighbour statistic works out as 2.10
