Isolated settlements are small communities or individual dwellings that are located far away from larger towns, cities, or other populated areas. These settlements typically have limited access to infrastructure, transportation, and services like healthcare and education. They are often found in remote regions such as deserts, mountains, forests, or islands. Examples of isolated settlements include: Research stations in Antarctica Tribal villages in the Amazon rainforest Farms in the Australian Outback Monasteries in remote mountain regions People in these areas may rely on self-sufficiency, such as farming, hunting, or renewable energy sources, to sustain their way of life.
