The document discusses settlement hierarchies, which rank settlements from largest to smallest based on population size and available services. It defines a settlement hierarchy as a way of ranking settlements by importance and size. Larger settlements higher in the hierarchy provide more services than smaller settlements lower in the hierarchy. Students are tasked with writing a definition of settlement hierarchy, drawing out the settlement hierarchy, and answering questions about identifying settlement characteristics and services using an OS map.
