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.

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 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.

Weber used locational triangles to illustrate the impact of transport costs on industrial location.

A. Transporting raw materials cost the same as the finished product

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)‏

D. More of raw material from R2 needed than R1
