Answer
The diagram shows a nucleated settlement. It is a form of rural settlement in which farms and other buildings are clustered together, often around some central feature like a church or police chowki etc. This pattern is encouraged by the need for defence, the availability of water supply at particular locations and the development of modern means of transport.
