village structure

A village structure refers to how a village is organized in terms of its physical layout, social roles, and community functions. It typically includes residential areas where people live, communal spaces such as markets or gathering spots, religious or cultural sites, and infrastructure like roads and water sources. The arrangement often reflects historical growth, cultural practices, and economic activities, fostering social cohesion and efficient use of land. Understanding a village’s structure helps in planning development, managing resources, and preserving cultural identity. It combines physical design with social relationships to support a functioning, sustainable community.
