Linear village

A linear village is a special type of village where all the houses and buildings are lined up next to each other along a road, like a long line. Think of it like a train with each house being a carriage. This type of village is usually found in places where there isn't a lot of space to build the village in any other way.

In a linear village, there are typically no roads that go off to the side, just one long straight road that passes through the entire village.

People who live in a linear village usually know each other really well because they're all living so close to each other. They might have to walk or bike along the road to get to where they need to go, especially if they don't have a car.

Overall, a linear village is a neat way of arranging a village so that everyone can fit in a small space while still being able to get around easily.
