• Carl Sauer: cultural landscape
• Thomas Malthus: population growth faster
than food supply
• Rostow: stage of economic development
• US economist Walter Rostow, argued that
countries would progress through five
stages
Progressive stages of economic growth.
Rostow Model
Strength of the Modernization model:
• Over the long term, all countries are
capable of development.
• It has proved to works for some countries:
Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan
(Asian Dragons) the American South, Czech
Republic, Ireland
Rostow’s model did not account for regional
constraints
• Wallerstein: core-periphery model
• Immanuel Wallerstein, a leading advocate
of the approach characterizes the world
system as a set of mechanisms which
redistributes resources from the periphery
to the core.
Dependency School of Thought/Model
(1970s). Sees low development levels as
being a result of the LDCs economic
dependency on the MDCs.
Dependency real world strategies.
• Invest and improve human welfare (education,
health, food, water, and shelter needs).
• redistribute capital in more even manner
(socialism)
• a bottom-up strategy
• import substitution: an LDC tries to develop
its own industries instead of importing
manufactured goods from the MDCs
• nationalization: To convert from private to
governmental ownership and control
(natural resources)
• high import tariffs (to protect infant homegrown industries)
• Self sufficiency (economic independence)
Von Thunen’s Agricultural
Model
A land use model used to
explain the importance of
proximity to the market in
the choice of crops on
commercial farms(this
created a concentric
pattern: circles sharing
the same centers)
Because farmers must pay to transport their produce to
the market, and these costs are directly proportional to
distance, the profit for each product declines as a
straight line with increasing distance from the market
Weber’s least cost theory
accounted for the location of a
manufacturing plant in terms of
the owner’s desire to minimize
three categories of costs.
1. Transportation
2. Labor
3. Agglomeration
Do Activity
Weber's model attempts to explain
industrial location.
B. Transporting raw
materials costs less
than finished product
(maybe finished
product delicate/more
packaging)
C. Transporting raw
materials costs more
than finished product
(loss in bulk)
• Christaller : central place theory
FR Define and describe the
major principles of Walter
Christaller’s central place
theory.
central place: a settlement
in which certain types of
goods and services are
available to consumers.
Walter Christaller formulated the
Central place theory: A theory that
explains the distribution of services,
based on the fact that settlements
serve as centers of market areas for
services.
larger settlements are fewer and farther
apart than smaller settlements
larger
settlements
provide
services for a
larger number
of people who
are willing to
travel farther.
towns and cities
(central places)
tend to be
arranged in clear,
orderly hierarchies
Under ideal circumstances (on flat plains,
with good transportation in every
direction),with hexagonal-shaped market
areas of different sizes arranged around
different-sized places
FR Draw a diagram to help illustrate the central
place theory.
Extra material in notes to help understand for
the FR
Note: look at
the 4 different
size of market
areas
