The structure of a village is strongly related to the society and culture in the surrounding area. This study focuses on villages in Zambia. Zambia is a developing country and the lifestyle of the people is changing rapidly. In the Northern part of Zambia, people fish or farm for their sustenance. Over the past 100 years, the lives of the people have been affected by explorers, missionaries, and industrialization. Industrialization has changed the structure of the village by influencing lifestyles and patterns of work and forcing greater reliance on cash incomes. This study investigated the relationship between the structures of the villages and the structure of society, by field survey and by literature documentation. As the social structure of a village matures, the spatial structure of the village, which is centered on blood relationships, becomes weaker. However, in Zambia society, blood relationships are still highly respected, and these relationships must be maintained even as the social structure becomes more complex.
