In observing the distribution <strong>of</strong> the settlements islandwide, it is clear that there is a concentration<br />
<strong>of</strong> squatting in and around built up areas. This is evidence that squatter settlements are usually<br />
located close to existing utilities and services or close to opportunities where they can provide<br />
unskilled labour at minimum transportation cost.<br />
Map 4 shows the location <strong>of</strong> squatter settlements, in relation to natural resources and<br />
