When you create site settings you need a user profile service application to sync with the data base to retrieve the audience settings and profile details.

Here I will quickly explain about how to configure the User profile application through the UI method,

Goto SharePoint 2013 Central Admin-->Application Management-->Manage Service Applications-->Service Applications tab to enable the ribbon--> Create a UPSA.

Here we will see about the Powershell method. It is a very simple one to create for admins.
