1. Models

2. Diffusion
Define
Give examples
How does diffusion
impact place?

3. Define and explain the following:
Birth Rate: The number of births, per year, per 1000 people in the population.
Death Rate: The number of deaths, per year, per 1000 people in the population.
Life Expectancy: Average number of years a person at birth can expect to live.
Declining: To become smaller, weaker, or less important.
Middle Age: 40 – 64 years old.
Older Age: 65 + years old.
Dependency Ratio: The ratio between those in the non- economically active age group (taken to be children under 15 and adults over 65) and those in the economically active age group (15 to 64).
Population Momentum: once a population reaches exponential growth it will continue to grow if the ratio of CBR and CDR remains constant because there is now more population
Define and explain the following:
CBR: Crude Birth Rate
CDR: Crude Death Rate
NI: Natural in Crease
TFR:
IMR:
CMR:

4. DTM
Demographic
Transition
Model

5. Explain for each stage:
Challenges for this type of population
According to WST, which tiers would reflect this pattern

6. Rostow Model
AKA Ladder of Development

7. According to DTM:
Which stage is closest to which step?
What would their population profile look like?

8. von Thunen’s Agricultural Land Use
Based on distance (transportation costs)
At what distance would a smart farmer change from red crop to blue crop or blue to yellow crops?
K1 would be the ________.
Price
Distance

9. So extend that to land use.
In order, list the value (highest to lowest) of each land value.
Agricultural
Industrial
Residential
Retail
Questions:
How has industrial zoning changed? Why?
How has residential changed?
How does transportation impact urban morphology?

12. Think edge cities
characteristics

14. Model Application

16. Which country appears to be rank size rule?
Explain your choice?
Describe the impact to infrastructure?

17. Least Cost Theory (Weber) Based on three costs
Transportation
Labor
Agglomeration
Weight gaining/losing industries: since transportation is the major cost, it makes sense to place your industry to impact transportation costs.
Market
Resource
Factory
Which is weight gaining?
Which is weight losing?
