Several types of buildings spaced far apart that don't really follow a certain pattern as a linear settlement pattern would and is the exact opposite of a clustered settlement pattern. One place that in which the scattered settlement pattern would be used for is for farmland since there are few buildings scattered around that is used for farming. Glad to help!
