Human Habitation
Village
noun
A person's hometown is a human habitation, or a village. This word has a slightly old-fashioned feel, and it's usually used for small villages in the countryside.
It's often combined with はなれた (separated) to talk about how far away from the nearest human habitation something is.
ひとざと
This jukugo uses the kun'yomi of the kanji instead of the more usual on'yomi. You learned both of these readings when you learned the vocabulary 人 and 里. Just notice that さと becomes ざと, because of rendaku.
クマは山から人里に出てくることがある。
Bears sometimes come out of the mountains into human habitations.
ここは人里はなれたところだな。
We're in the middle of nowhere, huh?
人里はなれた山の中からは、月が明るく見える。
The moon was brightly visible from the middle of the remote mountains.
