Abstract
A theory of settlement planning focussing on village-level production services is presented, and settlement plans are compared. The analysis draws on the modern theory of local public goods. Conditions for optimal level of services and optimum settlement size are derived, together with rules of finance of collective operations. The value of the right to settle is calculated for the cases considered.
