Sv. Jernej nad Muto (pronounced [ˈsʋeːti jɛɾˈneːi̯ nad ˈmuːtɔ] ) is a dispersed settlement in the hills north of Muta in the historical Styria region in northern Slovenia, right on the border with Austria. [2] It also includes the former village of Bistriški Jarek, which was incorporated into the settlement in 1953. [3]
A dispersed settlement, also known as a scattered settlement, is one of the main types of settlement patterns used by landscape historians to classify rural settlements found in England and other parts of the world. Typically, there are a number of separate farmsteads scattered throughout the area. A dispersed settlement contrasts with a nucleated village.
