Why are Consumer Services Distributed in a Regular Pattern? Based on the size of a settlement
Central Place Theory * Relationship b/t settlements of different sizes * Goods and services * Walter Chistaller (1930s)- southern Germany
Central Place Theory Services will have a market area or hinterland of potential costumers Urban settlements will have a market area Range- max. distance that people are willing to travel for a service Threshold- minimum # of people needed to support a service
Gravity Model Best location for a service is directly related to the # of people in the area Inversely related to the distance traveled
Hierarchy of Services Larger settlements will provide consumer services that have large thresholds, ranges, and market areas Rank size rule: nth-largest settlement is 1/nth the population of the largest settlement
