Describe Central Place Theory - Who? When? Why? Rational Economic Behavior? Conclusion?
- Walter Christaller 1933 - Why are there big and small cities interspersed in a regular fashion? - Rational Economic Behavior: Threshold size = minimum level of demand for a good or service; Range of a good = distance you will be willing to travel to make a purchase Order: high order goods - infrequent purchases; low order goods - everyday purchases - Conclusion: As a result of rational economic behavior, a nested hierarchy of central places will exist in a hexagonal pattern with differing population sizes and functions; Lower order functions operate at each successively larger place
