INTRODUCTION

The term "settlement" characterizes the historical process of settling the territory, the distribution of the population in the territory and its spatial organization. Settlement follows a more dynamically changing geography of production, which is one of its main patterns, but at the same time, the orientation of production towards the established systems of settlement, which is also associated with the location of the main production force - workers, is also increasing.

1.TYPOLOGY OF SETTLEMENTS: URBAN AND RURAL SETTLEMENTS

The development of the social division of labor led to the emergence in the history of society of two main types of settlements - urban and rural.

Cities, while remaining the main places of concentration of industrial production, centers of various economic ties, play a leading and organizing role.

These are the nodal points in the entire network of settlement.

This understanding of the city is the basis for our legislative practice of classifying settlements as urban or rural. Certain quantitative criteria (qualifications) have also been introduced. Thus, the category of cities can include places with a population of at least 12 thousand people.

residents in the presence of 85% of workers, employees and members of their families. At the same time, the administrative significance of this item, the prospects for its development, improvement, development of public utilities and a network of social and cultural institutions should also be taken into account.

Workers' settlements or urban-type settlements must number 3,000 people.

residents if they include up to 85% of workers, employees and members of their families (in some cases, they may also be points with less than 3 thousand inhabitants, for example, at especially important construction sites, in the regions of the Far North and the Far East).

Rural include (in our country and abroad) all settlements that do not meet the qualifications of urban settlements. The main and predominant part of them are villages, villages, settlements of agricultural enterprises.

This group also includes small industrial, transport, forestry settlements that are not related to agriculture, which, however, cannot be classified as urban, since they have few inhabitants. Finally, there are many rural settlements of a mixed type, which, in terms of their functions and economic significance, occupy an intermediate position between urban and rural settlements. Some of them are gradually turning into cities due to the development of industry or transport services in them (for example, villages at railway stations).

Agro-industrial settlements that produce and process agricultural products are becoming widespread.

In a number of regions, seasonal inhabited settlements are being created - field camps in the distant fields of arable land and hayfields, used during periods of the most intense agricultural work, "summer camps" and "winter roads" in areas of distant pasture animal husbandry, single buildings for fishermen - hunters and fishermen, small timber industry settlements.

When developing minerals in areas with extreme conditions camps are built, to which shift personnel are delivered by air or all-terrain ground transport.

With the development of industrial and transport construction in sparsely populated areas, mobile settlements appeared to temporarily accommodate builders, drilling crews and geological exploration expeditions.

2. CLASSIFICATION OF URBAN SETTLEMENTS

Despite the great diversity of urban settlements in Russia, numerous groups stand out among them, united by a number of common features, which makes it possible to develop uniform principles for solving scientific and practical problems for cities of a certain type.

The economic and geographical classification of cities is carried out both on individual grounds and on their totality.

Classification by population widely used not only in economic geography. For the latter, it is of no small importance, despite the fact that it gives only a statistical characteristic.

The size of the city determines the rate of its growth, some elements of the demographic and functional structure, planning. When developing a typology of cities, the population is taken into account as an integral feature of them.

In statistical sources and urban planning practice, the following groups of cities are distinguished: small - up to 50 thousand people, medium - 50-100 thousand, large - 100-250 thousand, large - 250-500 thousand, the largest - from 500 thousand to 1 million people

Classification by economic and geographical location allows you to determine the general features of the economic structure and directions for further development based on the potential opportunities that are inherent in the area or some of its focal points.

Depending on the geographical location, cities can be identified, located, for example: at the intersections of transport routes - Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Nizhny Novgorod; in large mining areas - Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo, Magnitogorsk, Mines; in areas of large manufacturing industry - Yaroslavl, Ivanovo, Serpukhov; in areas of intensive agriculture - Krasnodar, Stavropol, etc.

Classification according to national economic functions, which reveals their most important features, is essentially synthetic. Based functional classification of the city(Fig. 1) are divided into:

Polyfunctional - combining administrative-political, cultural and economic activities (industry and transport).

Such cities include capitals, all regional and regional centers, as well as many large cities of the country, in which each of the listed functions has a city-forming significance;

With a pronounced predominance of industrial and transport functions of inter-district significance. All cities can be conditionally divided into industrial, transport and industrial transport.

The industrial ones are very diverse, among them there are cities with a narrow industrial specialization, for example, centers of metallurgy, mechanical engineering, chemical industry, forestry and wood processing industries. There are a lot of types of specialized cities;

Performing administrative and organizational functions of "local centers" in the lower regions, national districts, along with industrial and transport, these are mainly small urban-type settlements;

Resort cities constitute a special group.

AT last years scientific and research-and-production centers are rapidly developing.

Figure 1 - Functional typology of cities

Classification according to the degree of their participation in the territorial division of social labor, which depends on the size of the city, functions, connections they support - local or inter-district.

Some serve small territories, being local centers, others - a large area through the inter-district division of labor, the value of the third goes beyond the country, as they participate in international economic and cultural relations.

Classification by genetic traits. The objective patterns of development and qualitative transformations of economic functions have a great influence on the type of modern city.

A mining settlement, founded in a large iron ore basin, in the process of development turns into a metallurgical city, the latter can also become a center of mechanical engineering. The oilfield settlement has a reason to turn into a city with oil refining and non-essential types of energy, labor, water, a sales market, etc.

e. All this should be taken into account when selecting genetic traits.

The genetic type of a city is a concept that includes a set of features that form its specific qualities. The selection of such features is subject to the task for which the classification is carried out.

When forecasting economic development of a city, it is important to know the genesis of its economic functions and their qualitative transformations. To solve planning problems, it is necessary to take into account the evolution of their planning structure.

Classification by types of prospective development is developed in district plans based on an analysis of the main factors of urban growth.

It allows for a comprehensive and interconnected assessment of the conditions and prospects for their development on a vast territory, taking into account the design value, changes in the functional structure, and the creation of new cities. A promising typology of cities contributes to the purposeful development and transformation of settlement systems.

3. CLASSIFICATION OF RURAL SETTLEMENTS

The population density of settlements (i.e., their size in terms of the number of inhabitants) is associated with the production functions of the settlement, with the form of settlement, with the history of the given settlement.

This indicator objectively reflects the total effect of a number of factors on the development of the settlement, but does not reveal these factors by itself. At the same time, the size of the settlements creates certain conditions for their life, for the organization of cultural and community services for their inhabitants, therefore, the identification of a number of characteristic types of rural settlements on this basis is of scientific and practical importance. "Typology of the population of settlements" can be considered as one of the types of typology, but it can be most effectively used in conjunction with other typological lines - functional, morphological, genetic.

Types of rural settlements

There are dozens of options for classifying the rural settlements of medieval Western Europe. From all their diversity, two main types of settlements can be distinguished - these are large compact (villages, villages, semi-agricultural towns) and small scattered ones (farms, settlements, separately located farm houses).

Compact settlements, villages differ greatly in their planning from each other; so, for example, they distinguish between "nuclear", cumulus, linear and other types of villages.

In the first type, the “core” of a settlement is a square with a church, market, etc., located on it, from which streets and alleys diverge in a radial direction.

In a street village, the layout is most often based on several streets intersecting with each other at different angles. Houses in such a village are located on both sides of the street and face each other.

In a linear village, the houses are arranged in a single line - along a road, a river, or some fold in the terrain - and often only on one side of the road; sometimes there could be several such streets in a village: for example, in mountainous areas, courtyards often consisted of two rows, one of which runs at the foot of the slope, the other parallel to it, but somewhat higher.

In the cumulus village, the houses are randomly scattered and connected with each other by lanes and driveways.

No less diverse options for small settlements. Usually, settlements are considered to be farms, in which there are 10-15 households (in Scandinavia - up to 4-6 households). However, these yards can either be concentrated around some center (square, street), or lie quite far from each other, being connected only by a common pasture, plowing, management, etc.

n. Even individual buildings require their own classification: after all, large, several-storey farms of the plains are incomparable with the small huts of mountain dwellers.

A diverse picture of the settlements of the medieval era has survived to this day: the vast majority of the settlements of the continent, it is believed, arose even before the 15th century.

At the same time, certain regularities can be observed in their occurrence. Thus, the system of open fields was most often combined with compact settlements.

The Mediterranean economic system allowed for the existence different types settlements, but since the XV century. in places of greatest development of agrarian relations (Central Italy, Lombardy), individual farm houses became dominant. Geographical factors also influenced the distribution of one or another type of settlements: as a rule, large villages predominated in the flat areas, and small farms dominated in the mountainous areas.

Finally, the decisive role in many cases was played by the historical features of the development of each area and, first of all, the nature of its settlement.

For example, military colonization explains the predominance of large settlements in East Germany and in the central regions of the Iberian Peninsula. The development of the former forest, swamps, low-lying coastal territories led to the spread of small forms of settlements - farms, settlements, zaimok with separate buildings.

The nature of the settlements was also influenced by the orders characteristic of the former population of this area (Celts, Slavs, etc.).

However, all these regularities did not always manifest themselves; for example, in Frioul, whose relief represents the whole gamut of landscapes from the Alpine mountains to the lagoon lowlands, the distribution of settlement types was the opposite of that indicated above: in the mountains - compact multi-yard villages, on the plain - isolated houses.

It should also be taken into account that the character of the dominant type of settlement could change several times during the Middle Ages. So, in England in the Celtic era, small settlements prevailed, but already the first wave of the Anglo-Saxon invasion led to an increase in the proportion of large villages, since the conquerors preferred to settle in large tribal groups.

In general, in early middle ages compact villa-communities in central, southern and eastern England were predominant. Further resettlement of the population proceeded by branching off small settlements from large settlements; their number increased even more during the period of internal colonization. As a result, in many rural areas of the country by the 15th century. small scattered settlements became the dominant type of settlements. Later, as a result of fencing, many villages were abandoned and the number of small farms and individual farms increased even more.

In Germany, the border between various types settlements was Elba.

To the west of it dominated cumulus villages, small settlements of irregular shape, hamlets and individual buildings, sometimes having some kind of common center or, conversely, located around an arable massif. Small villages and farms were also common in the eastern lands (Lausitz, Brandenburg, Silesia, Czech territories); here their presence is often explained by the form of the previous Slavic settlements.

Basically, East Germany is the area dominated by large street or street villages. linear type, as well as smaller settlements that grew up on forest clearing sites or in mountainous areas, but are of the same orderly character.

In the north and northeast of France, large villages were the dominant type; here the line between a small town and such a village was small.

In the rest of the country (Massif Central, Maine, Poitou, Brittany, the eastern part of Ile-de-France), small settlements and farms dominated. In Aquitaine, the Toulouse region, Languedoc, since the time of developed feudalism, the picture has become somewhat different: centuries-old wars have brought to life a different type of settlements - bastides, fortified centers built according to a certain plan; the inhabitants of the former settlements began to flock to them.

The pattern of Spanish settlements also changed as the Reconquista progressed.

From time immemorial, the north and north-west of the peninsula was a territory occupied by small farms and buildings scattered one by one, however, by the beginning of the Reconquista, in the lands of Leon and Old Castile, which bordered on the Arabs, there was a process of enlargement of settlements.

On the reclaimed lands of New Castile, rare but large villages or - in the north of the region - small farms grouped around a fortified castle became the dominant type of settlements. Similar large villages dominated Portugal south of the Tagus; however, to the north of it, hamlets remained the most common type of settlement.

The picture of Italian settlements is no less diverse.

Most of the south of the peninsula was occupied by large villages, sometimes mixed with small settlements and farms; only in Apulia and Calabria did scattered small farms dominate.

Development of a viable model of rural settlements of the XXI century

Large villages and semi-agricultural towns also dominated south-central Italy. In the northern part of Lazio, Marche, Tuscany, Emilia, a significant part of Lombardy, Veneto and Piedmont, the most common type of settlements were small villages, farms and individual farms - podere.

The presence of a dominant type of settlements in each of the regions of the continent did not at all deny the existence of settlements of a different type in it. As a rule, in almost every locality there were large rural settlements, and small settlements, and even separate houses - farms.

It's about only about the predominant type of settlement that determines the face of this territory.

The city as a habitat

A city is a large settlement whose inhabitants are involved in various activities, excluding agriculture.

The city forms qualitatively new ties between the people living in it.

If in the countryside relationships between people are built primarily on the basis of family ties, then in the city people draw closer together on the basis of common labor.

Living in the city is fraught with a significant disadvantage: remoteness from nature.

Geography lesson on the topic "Settlements", Grade 7

A person is forced to live in conditions that are biologically alien to him.

That is why today the government is developing special programs for greening cities, which will create the most comfortable living conditions for citizens.

Distinctive features of the urban environment

The city as a human habitat has the following special characteristics:

- the presence of different types of transport, which gives rise to the intensity of traffic;

- the totality of a group of manufacturing enterprises;

- concentration on a small area of ​​​​a large number of communications - telephone lines, gas pipelines, electricity networks;

- a large number of people permanently residing on a unit area;

- housing shortage.

The village as a habitat

The village is a small settlement, the majority of whose inhabitants are engaged in agricultural production.

The biggest advantage of living in a village is environmental safety.

The absence of industrial centers and proximity to nature has a positive effect on the environment.

The main disadvantage is that in some villages communications are not well developed: there are no gas pipelines, sewerage, water pipes, which significantly complicates the life of the villagers.

The good standard of living of the villagers is directly related to the level of development of agriculture.

The decline in agricultural production breeds unemployment, which in turn leads to problems such as drunkenness and increased crime.

For example, military colonization explains the predominance of large settlements in East Germany and in the central regions of the Iberian Peninsula. The development of the former forest, swamps, low-lying coastal territories led to the spread of small forms of settlements - farms, settlements, zaimok with separate buildings. The nature of the settlements was also influenced by the orders characteristic of the former population of this area (Celts, Slavs, etc.).

    However, all these regularities did not always manifest themselves; for example, in Frioul, whose relief represents the whole gamut of landscapes from the Alpine mountains to the lagoon lowlands, the distribution of settlement types was the opposite of that indicated above: in the mountains - compact multi-yard villages, on the plain - isolated houses. It should also be taken into account that the character of the dominant type of settlement could change several times during the Middle Ages. So, in England in the Celtic era, small settlements prevailed, but already the first wave of the Anglo-Saxon invasion led to an increase in the proportion of large villages, since the conquerors preferred to settle in large tribal groups.

    In general, during the early Middle Ages, compact villa-communities in Central, Southern and East Anglia were predominant. Further resettlement of the population proceeded by branching off small settlements from large settlements; their number increased even more during the period of internal colonization. As a result, in many rural areas of the country by the 15th century. small scattered settlements became the dominant type of settlements. Later, as a result of fencing, many villages were abandoned and the number of small farms and individual farms increased even more.

    In Germany, the border between different types of settlements was the Elbe. To the west of it dominated cumulus villages, small settlements of irregular shape, hamlets and individual buildings, sometimes having some kind of common center or, conversely, located around an arable massif. Small villages and farms were also common in the eastern lands (Lausitz, Brandenburg, Silesia, Czech territories); here their presence is often explained by the form of the previous Slavic settlements.

    In the main, East Germany is an area dominated by large villages of a street or linear type, as well as smaller settlements that have grown up on forest clearings or in mountainous areas, but are of the same orderly character.

    In the north and northeast of France, large villages were the dominant type; here the line between a small town and such a village was small. In the rest of the country (Massif Central, Maine, Poitou, Brittany, the eastern part of Ile-de-France), small settlements and farms dominated. In Aquitaine, the Toulouse region, Languedoc, since the time of developed feudalism, the picture has become somewhat different: centuries-old wars have brought to life a different type of settlements - bastides, fortified centers built according to a certain plan; the inhabitants of the former settlements began to flock to them.

    The pattern of Spanish settlements also changed as the Reconquista progressed. From time immemorial, the north and north-west of the peninsula was a territory occupied by small farms and buildings scattered one by one, however, by the beginning of the Reconquista, in the lands of Leon and Old Castile, which bordered on the Arabs, there was a process of enlargement of settlements. On the reclaimed lands of New Castile, rare but large villages or - in the north of the region - small farms grouped around a fortified castle became the dominant type of settlements. Similar large villages dominated Portugal south of the Tagus; however, to the north of it, hamlets remained the most common type of settlement.

    The picture of Italian settlements is no less diverse. Most of the south of the peninsula was occupied by large villages, sometimes mixed with small settlements and farms; only in Apulia and Calabria did scattered small farms dominate. Large villages and semi-agricultural towns also dominated south-central Italy. In the northern part of Lazio, Marche, Tuscany, Emilia, a significant part of Lombardy, Veneto and Piedmont, the most common type of settlements were small villages, farms and individual farms - podere.

    The presence of a dominant type of settlements in each of the regions of the continent did not at all deny the existence of settlements of a different type in it. As a rule, in almost every locality there were large rural settlements, and small settlements, and even separate houses - farms. We are talking only about the predominant type of settlement, which determines the face of this territory.

    There are dozens of options for classifying the rural settlements of medieval Western Europe. From all their diversity, two main types of settlements can be distinguished - these are large compact (villages, villages, semi-agricultural towns) and small scattered ones (farms, settlements, separately located farm houses). Compact settlements, villages differ greatly in their planning from each other; so, for example, they distinguish between "nuclear", cumulus, linear and other types of villages. In the first type, the “core” of a settlement is a square with a church, a market, etc. located on it, from which streets and alleys branch off in a radial direction. In a street village, the layout is most often based on several streets intersecting with each other at different angles. Houses in such a village are located on both sides of the street and face each other. In a linear village, the houses are arranged in a single line - along a road, a river, or some fold in the terrain - and often only on one side of the road; sometimes there could be several such streets in a village: for example, in mountainous areas, courtyards often consisted of two rows, one of which runs at the foot of the slope, the other parallel to it, but somewhat higher. In the cumulus village, the houses are randomly scattered and connected with each other by lanes and driveways.

    No less diverse options for small settlements. Usually, settlements are considered to be farms, in which there are 10-15 households (in Scandinavia - up to 4-6 households). However, these yards can either be concentrated around some center (square, street), or lie quite far from each other, being connected only by a common pasture, plowing, management, etc. Even individual buildings require their own classification: after all, large, several-storey farms of the plains are incomparable with the small huts of mountain dwellers.

    A diverse picture of the settlements of the medieval era has survived to this day: the vast majority of the settlements of the continent, it is believed, arose even before the 15th century. At the same time, certain regularities can be observed in their occurrence. Thus, the system of open fields was most often combined with compact settlements. The Mediterranean economic system allowed the existence of different types of settlements, but starting from the 15th century. in places of greatest development of agrarian relations (Central Italy, Lombardy), individual farm houses became dominant. Geographical factors also influenced the distribution of one or another type of settlements: as a rule, large villages predominated in the flat areas, and small farms dominated in the mountainous areas. Finally, the decisive role in many cases was played by the historical features of the development of each area and, first of all, the nature of its settlement. For example, military colonization explains the predominance of large settlements in East Germany and in the central regions of the Iberian Peninsula.

    Each natural zone is characterized by its own types of rural settlements and their distribution throughout the territory. In addition, dwellings in different natural conditions. Highly urbanized rural settlements are formed near the cities.

    The natural zones of steppes, forest-steppes, deciduous forests and subtropics have the best conditions for farming. It is within these natural areas Most of the rural population lives in Russia.

    There are 150 thousand rural settlements in Russia. But over time, the number of rural settlements and rural residents in Russia is decreasing. This is due to the development of industry, the restructuring of the economy, the lack of schools, hospitals, and other socially important institutions in rural areas, and often poor and difficult living conditions.

    Homework

    1. Name the main types of rural settlements.

    Making your home memorable and beautiful is the dream of any owner. If the house is no longer new, it is not so easy. One of the possibilities is carved platbands. They even turn an ordinary “box” into a masterpiece.

    Trim material

    Carved platbands are made mainly from coniferous wood. The best option is pine, it is normally cut, inexpensive, and durable due to the high resin content. In principle, you can use any other coniferous board, but it is better not to try with a spruce board: it is too fibrous, it cannot be cut even with the sharpest tool.

    You can also make carved architraves from hardwoods - linden (the softest), poplar, maple, oak, cherry, etc. But with each breed you need to be able to work, fill your hand, and there is no guarantee that something digestible will turn out, and hardwood is expensive. Therefore, platbands are made on windows more often all the same from pine. You just need to pay attention to the quality characteristics.

    Carved platbands on the windows - a way to make your home unique

    If there is wood or a board that has lain for 3 years or more, you can use it: it is already dry for sure, only processing and calibration will be required. If there is no woodworking equipment at home (thickness gauge and circular saw), a cutting board will be needed. Under carved platbands, wood of the first or highest grade is suitable. This means that there should be no knots, chips, resin pockets on the board. Take wood chamber drying, with a moisture content of not more than 8-12%. This is not for sale in the markets; you need to look for it at sawmills and hardware stores.

    Why chamber drying? Because it is dried in a special chamber, quickly removing moisture. At the same time, part of the boards cracks, bends - these go to rejection, the rest are sold. If you make carved architraves from chamber-dried wood, they will definitely not be warped and they will not crack.

    Instruments

    To make carved platbands with your own hands, you will need the following minimum set:

    • drill with a set of drills;
    • electric jigsaw with a soft start and a bunch of different saws for wood;
    • chisels;
    • sandpaper with grains of different sizes;
    • petal disk from sandpaper for wood on a drill.

    To reduce the time it takes to create carved patterns and polishing, it is better to have a router and grinder.

    One by one or in bulk?

    Carved platbands usually consist of repeating elements. At least two vertical slats on each window are made the same. And since several windows are usually designed, a lot of identical elements are required. If you are going to make platbands slotted, naturally there is a desire to cut several pieces at the same time, folding the boards in a pile and somehow fixing them.

    The desire is understandable, but difficult to implement, and the benefits over time are not as great as it seems. The first difficulty is that home craftsmen usually have jigsaws of not too much power. To cut through several boards, you have to move the file more slowly along the intended pattern. On straight lines, the speed is still tolerable, on curves - low. And, the smaller the bending radius, the slower you have to move the file. If you work with one board, there are no such problems. So in terms of time, the gain, if any, is quite small.

    One more moment. Even thick, good, expensive files are rejected with a large thickness of the workpiece. So, when cutting several boards at the same time, the quality of the cut on the bottom (or two) remains a big question.

    The procedure for manufacturing a platband with a slotted thread

    We transfer the desired drawing using a template to the board (where to get it, how to enlarge it, how to make a template, read below). If necessary, we correct, draw the details well. Next, we describe the procedure step by step.

    We remove wood in the slots of the pattern


    Since the carving will be looked at from afar, some inaccuracies are not fatal, but it is still worth striving for the ideal.

    Making a curved edge

    Some platbands have a smooth edge. Then we skip this step. If the edge is curly, you will still have to work with a jigsaw.


    If the cut is difficult, not very attractive places may remain. It's not scary, then we will process them where necessary - with chisels, the same jigsaw, emery. When you are satisfied with the result, you can move on.

    Finalization

    Owners of wooden houses probably know everything about how to process wood. But, just in case, we repeat once again the general rules.


    The choice of paints and varnishes is very wide. Suitable for any outdoor use. But keep in mind that opaque paints will have to be updated periodically - once a year for sure. And that means - to remove the old paint, primer, paint again. The situation is simpler with oils for wood - they do not leave a film on the surface of the wood, but are absorbed into the fibers. It is also necessary to update the coating, but just clean it of dust and cover with a new layer. And the processing frequency is less. Cons of oil for wood - higher price, fewer colors.

    How to enlarge a template

    Simple carved platbands can be made without templates. A few examples will be in the video - it shows how to draw, how to cut. But not everyone can draw more or less complex patterns on their own. It takes skill and talent. The easiest way is to find a diagram, print it in the right size, transfer it to cardboard and cut it out. You will get a template that you can circle.

    The second way: draw from a photograph. Not all schemes can be found. Some, especially antique window frames, you will not find anywhere else. If there is at least some drawing ability, they can be copied.

    Even such an ornament can be copied ... if you have the skill

    You may have questions about how to increase the size of the found scheme or template. There are three options:

    • With the help of any graphic editor. The simplest - Paint - is available on any computer running Windows (the "Image" tab, the "Resize image" line, select "centimeters" and put the desired length (height) in the box. The resulting file can be printed. If the printer is small, it may be necessary to split into several pages.They should then be glued together and, according to the resulting drawing, make a template.
    • With a photocopy. Copiers have a zoom function.
    • Taking graph paper, transfer the drawing to the desired scale. To do this, we divide the original image into squares with a side of 0.5 or 1 cm (you can print it on a sheet in a cage). Then we transfer the lines to graph paper, increasing them in the desired proportion.

    The first two methods are faster. But when scaling, the picture may turn out to be fuzzy and blurry. It can be corrected by hand, it can be drawn in some editor, for example, CorelDRAW. See the video for how to do this. Just an example of drawing a diagram for a thread.
