Main Article Content
Abstract
The research aims to reveal the true picture of the geographical distribution of rural settlements in the countryside of Hawija district and to indicate the geographical distribution of these settlements and the degree of their concentration and spread in the countryside of the study area and the factors influencing them by using modern quantitative methods, the most important of which are ideal center, spatial center, deviation of the median center from the main center, the standard distance, the direction of distribution, the nearest neighbor index as a statistical method for more accurate and realistic patterns, because the spatial distribution of any geographical phenomenon is in fact one of the basic characteristics of that phenomenon as it describes the pattern of spatial distribution of the phenomena that are represented on the maps. That is, it expresses the degree of regularity of the distribution whether it is regular, random, focused in order to rebuild rural settlement in a more balanced way than it is.
