Sorompok

Sorompok is a term that refers to a small, often temporary, settlement or encampment. It typically implies a collection of shelters or dwellings, usually made of basic materials, grouped together in a particular location. The exact nature and size of a sorompok can vary significantly depending on its context and purpose.

Historically, sorompok might have been used by nomadic peoples, travelers, or those seeking temporary shelter during agricultural seasons or hunting expeditions. In some regions, it could refer to a small hamlet or a cluster of houses that are loosely organized. The term often carries a connotation of simplicity and a lack of permanent infrastructure.

In contemporary usage, sorompok can also be applied to informal settlements that arise due to necessity, such as those formed by refugees or displaced populations. These might consist of makeshift tents, shacks, or other rudimentary structures. The defining characteristic remains the concentrated grouping of dwellings in a specific area, often with limited access to services. The etymology and specific usage of "sorompok" can differ across languages and cultures, but the core concept of a small, gathered settlement persists.
