For the majority of poor and dispossessed migrants, frontier migration has simply become a form of spatial mobility without much upward mobility. There is increasing landlessness and spontaneous settlement among the migrants, due to the combination
of corruptive land distribution to settlers, diminishing band availability. Such a trend does little to improve poor migrants' conditions.
The author's deduction is that the place of settlement geography in science and its research programme should be re-composed. The complex interpretation of each settlement must come to the front and as a part of economic geography. The A. stresses
two factors : the community and the morphology of the settlement.

Cod fishing, coal mining, and mainly subsistence forming created much of this island's settlement, economy and society. Each of these economies occupied relatively discrete areas, forming a mosaic of different ways of life and work.
The kopanitse-dispersed landscape may be considered for a specific type from the settlement-geographical and landscape-synthetic aspect, too. A dilemma - the development of kopanitse-settling should be stimuled, or limited - is arising.
