The Laffer Curve

Front

...

Back

The Gravity Model

Front

People are more attracted to bigger and closer places.

Back

What are the sectors of the Sector Model ?

Front

1) CBD 2) Industrial Corridor 3) Lower-class housing 4) Middle-class housing 5) Upper-class housing

Back

Ravenstein

Front

Claimed that: -Most migrants only move short distances -Each migrant flow produces a compensating counterflow -Long distance migrants go to one of the great centers of commerce and industry -Economic factors are the main cause of migration -Young adult men are the most likely to migrate internationally

Back

Malthus's Theory

Front

Population will outpace food production. Population grows geometrically while food production grows arithmetically.

Back

Lambert projections

Spatial Model

Front

...

Back

The Hotelling Model (The Location Interdependence Theory)

Front

Informally called ice cream on a beach model. Business locational decision based on the location of a firm's competition

Back

Ester Boserup's Model

Front

Population growth compels subsistence farmers to consider new farming approaches that produce enough food to take care of the additional people.

Back

Tobler's Law (WILL BE ON TEST)

Front

Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things

Back

Goode's Homolosive Projection

Front

...

Back

Galactic City Model/ Peripheral Model

Front

Model used to represent a distinct decentralization of the commercial urban landscape as the economy has transitioned to services as the leading form of production; represetns a post- industrialized city

Back

Township and Range

Front

basically just groups of squares

Back

Edward Ullman's Spatial Interaction Theory

Front

Spatial Interaction is controlled by 3 flow determining factors: 1)Complementarity (when one place has it and another place wants it and unequal resource distribution) 2)Transferability (cost based on material, distance, and value) 3) Intervening Opportunity (closer opportunities will often reduce the attractiveness of opportunities more distant)

Back

Sector Model

Front

First proposed in 1939 by theorist Homer Hoyt A model that explains urban land use in pie-shaped sectors radiating outward from the city center.

Back

Non-spatial Model

Front

...

Back

Demographic Transition Model

Front

...

Back

Bid- Rent Curve

Front

The cost to distance relationship of real estate prices in the urban landscape; a cost function that shows the exponential increase in land prices as one moves closer towards the peak land value intersection (PLVI)

Back

Norman Borlaug

Front

Father of Green Revolution

Back

Epidemiological Transition Model

Front

Model that show distinctive causes of death in each stage of the demographic transition

Back

Wallenstein's World System Theory Model

Front

The core-periphery concept is not just about places but an interplay of processes

Back

Metes and Bounds

Front

...

Back

Latin-American City Model

Front

A model created by Ernest Griffin and Larry Ford that describes the structure of cities in Latin America, confirming that many Latin American cities follow the same format/layout (cities are built around a core CBD; CBDs are surrounded by three concentric zones of housing). Similar to North American cities because they look like both the concentric zone model and sector model put together.

Back

Sauer

Front

"Anything is possible" (Possibilist)

Back

Anatolian theory

Front

Holds that this group of migrants from the Indian subcontinent and their language were for some time concentrated in the peninsula that makes up most of present-day Turkey, known historically as Asia Minor or Anatolia. From there, a large migration across the Hellespont into continental Europe and spread outward into what was possibly a relatively unpopulated region.

Back

Conformal projections

Front

...

Back

Equal Area projections

Front

Back

Reilly's Law- The Law of Retail Gravitation

Front

Two cities will attract trade from intermediate locals in direct proportion to the population of the two cities

Back

Von Thünen Ring Model

Front

The distance between the consumer and the production site and the nature of the agricultural products(weight,d size, perishability, etc.) are important determinants of location and agricultural products

Back

Ellsworth Huntington

Front

-argued that climate was a major determinate of civilization

Back

Rostow's Stages of Development Theory

Front

Argue that countries fo though predicatabvle patterns of sequential stages of development.

Back

Myrdal's Dependency Theory

Front

Core benefits while peripheries become reliant on the cores. Poorer countries will forever exist in a state of Neocolonial rule.

Back

Multiple Nuclei Model

Front

Created by C. D. Harris and E. L. Ullman. Stated that a city is a complex structure that involves more than one center around which activities revolve

Back

Weber's Location Theory (Least Cost Theory)

Front

The location with the least cost associated with transportation is the best location (can be market or material oriented)

Back

Walter Christaller

Front

A German geographer who proposed the Central Place Theory in the 1930's based on his studies of southern Germany

Back

Long-Lots

Front

Created by French; gives everyone equal access to a river

Back

Kurgan Theory

Front

A theory that states the same group of migrants from the Indian subcontinent instead made their way into Central Asia, and then migrated across the Eurasian Steppe into central and Western Europe, taking their language with them.

Back

Urban Model

Front

...

Back

Central Place Theory

Front

A theory that explains the distribution of services, based on the fact that settlements serve as centers of market areas for services; larger settlements are fewer and farther apart than smaller settlements and provide services for a larger number of people who are willing to travel farther.

Back

Concentric Zone Model

Front

A model of the internal structure of cities in which social groups are spatially arranged in a series of rings
