ACK. This is a definition (in German) I'd agree with: Siedlungsformen: Art, Zahl
undräumlicheAnordnungmenschlicher Behausungen (kinds of settlement: kind, number
and areal arrangement of human dwellings).
Also a single farm (ein alleinstehender Einzelhof) is one kind of settlement
(and often has a name, BTW). And of the group settlements (Gruppensiedlungen:
Einschicht, Weiler, Rotte, Dorf, Markt und Stadt) there are different kinds,
some of which are explicitely *not* densely populated (Einschicht, Weiler,
Rotte). See http://www.aeiou.at/aeiou.encyclop.s/s567496.htm for kinds of
settlements (in German).
I'd define "settlement" just as: (group of) human dwellings.
And to me there also is a difference: a settlement's extent isn't defined per
se. It can be a group of houses and generally it is countable what houses belong
to that settlement. But this doesn't define what fields/land/acres are/is
included. In contrast, an "administrative territorial entity"
(Verwaltungseinheit) solely defines the land it includes (of course with all the
buildings on it).
