People to know: Carl Sauer: cultural landscape Thomas Malthus: population growth faster than food supply would mean disaster Rostow: stage of economic development Wallerstein: core-periphery model Von Thunen: location theory for agriculture Weber: location theory for industry/manufacturing Christaller : central place theory Burgess: Concentric urban model Hoyt: Sector: urban model Harris Ullman : multiple nuclei urban model
3
Carl Sauer: cultural landscape
4
Thomas Malthus: population growth faster than food supply
5
Rostow: stage of economic development US economist Walter Rostow, argued that countries would progress through five stages
6
Progressive stages of economic growth. Rostow Model
7
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
8
Rostow’s model did not account for regional constraints
9
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.
10
Dependency School of Thought/Model (1970s). Sees low development levels as being a result of the LDCs economic dependency on the MDCs.
12
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)
13
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
14
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
15
Do Activity
16
Weber's model attempts to explain industrial location.
17
Weber used locational triangles to illustrate the impact of transport costs on industrial location.
18
A. Transporting raw materials cost the same as the finished product
19
B. Transporting raw materials costs less than finished product (maybe finished product delicate/more packaging)
20
C. Transporting raw materials costs more than finished product (loss in bulk)
21
D. More of raw material from R2 needed than R1
22
Christaller : central place theory
23
Burgess: Concentric urban model
24
Hoyt: Sector: urban model
25
Harris Ullman : multiple nuclei urban model
27
C AR L Sauer: Cultural Landscape
28
Malthus: Malnutrition
29
Malthus: too many mouths to feed
30
Rostow: St ages of development
31
Wallerstein: Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall core periphery
33
Von Thunen: Vons Transportation
34
Weber: Spiderman spins webs for man=manufacturing
35
Christaller: Christ has a central place in Christians hearts
36
Burgess: Bulls eye
37
Hoyt: Hot Sector Model=Sexy model
38
