remote settlements
Far-flung habitations
Remote settlements are communities located far from major population centers, typically in isolated geographic areas with limited access to infrastructure and services.
The phrase emphasizes distance and disconnection: Remote settlements in the Arctic depend on supply flights during winter months.
Such places may be villages, outposts, or small towns where residents live with greater self-sufficiency due to their isolation.
