Query: Towards the Identification of Simple Mechanisms Describing the
  Development of Settlements   The rapid increase of settlement structures demands the development of
suitable models for their description. In this context, different approaches
and works are known. An increasing amount of data leads to more and more
complicated models. In this work an alternative approach is proposed, which
uses the knowledge from the modeling of physical processes with the help of
differential equations, in order to represent phenomena of the pattern
formation in settlement systems. We propose a method to investigate the
properties of settlement dynamics using the spatial and temporal changes in
time resolved population density patterns. Starting from the more common
finding in the literature that settlements often arrange themselves in a
regular manner, we examine four fast-growing regions in the Global South using
our methodology. Although no clear mechanisms could be identified in the
approach presented so far, the workflow presented here creates the possibility
of a new view on pattern formation processes to be studied geographically.
