Central Place Theory
* Relationship b/t settlements of different sizes
* Goods and services
* Walter Chistaller (1930s)- southern Germany
Central Place Theory
• Services will have a market area or hinterland of potential costumers
• Urban settlements will have a market area
• Range- max. distance that people are willing to travel for a service
• Threshold- minimum # of people needed to support a service
Gravity Model
• Best location for a service is directly related to the # of people in the area
• Inversely related to the distance traveled
Hierarchy of Services
• Larger settlements will provide consumer services that have large thresholds, ranges, and market areas
• Rank size rule: nth-largest settlement is 1/nth the population of the largest settlement
