Spatial Implications of Urban Functional Classification: A Study

of Small Urban Places in the North-Central United States

ABSTRACT

Tyler A. Van Meeteren, M.A.

University of Nebraska, 2005

Advisor: Dr. Charles R. Gildersleeve

The idea that cities have diverse economic structures and social

characteristics is commonly understood. Many times these differences can be

traced to historical regional growth or resource availability. Recognition and

better understanding of these different types of cities requires their classification.

Classification is way to organize complex and diverse information in order to

create a better understanding of processes and relationships. One of the ways in

which geographers have classified cities, in terms of describing the external

relations, is called functional town classification. The simplest way of classifying

cites is to identify the distinctive role they play in the city system.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the spatial distribution of

economic functions for the small urban places in the study area using a standard

classification method for urban geography, and by utilizing nearest neighbor

analysis. This study should produce spatial patterns of distribution based on the

site and situation of the place. There may also be a strong influence of function

based upon proximity to a larger urban area. The creation of a contemporary

taxonomy of the small urban places in the study area, and subsequent

understanding of the spatial distribution of dominant economic features should

provide the base for future investigation into small urban center relationships and

classification.

Introduction

The study of urban geography brings several overlapping disciplines

including economics, political science, sociology, and history together to examine

the complex system of cities. To best understand the nature of urban geography,

two important approaches should be outlined. The first is to study the

relationships in the spatial distribution and dynamic movement of goods within

the cities, or a city system approach. The examination of interaction and

distribution patterns, or internal relations, within cities are looking into the city as

a system. The second approach, and the one this study employs, is the study of

spatial distribution of cities and the complex patterns of movement, and linkages,

or external relations that tie them together. (Yeates and Garner 1980) Urban

geography can merely be described as the study of cities as systems within the

framework of cities (Berry, 1964).

The relationships not only exist amongst

other urban areas, but also between cities and

the people living in that area. These complex

interactions are of significant interest to the

urban geographer. Figure 1 illustrates the

possible relationships of importance in urbanFigure 1: Network of interactions in urban

geography. The first possibility of investigation geography adapted from Ray Northam.,Urban Geography. (New York: Wiley & Sons, 1975), 3.

(A) involves the associations between a place and its population. Another (B)

area of inquiry deals with the relationships linking different places. The

relationships (C) between people in more than one location can also be

researched. The final channel of study (D) includes the associations within one

place. (Northam 1976) Each of these interactions occur within the confines of

the landscape of the earth.

The study of city patterns began to pick up steam in the first half of the

20th century as N.S.B Gras (1922), Christaller (1933), Losch (1937), and Harris

and Ullman (1945) described the nature and origin of systematic variations in the

characteristics of urban places. These geographers set the framework for more

advanced statistical analysis that future generations could build upon.

The notion that cities have diverse economic structures and social

characteristics is commonly understood. Many times these differences can be

traced to historical regional growth or resource availability. Recognition and

better understanding of these different types of cities require their classification.

Classification is a way to organize complex and diverse information in order to

create a better understanding of processes and relationships. The relevance and

usefulness of classifications in geography is wide-spread throughout the

discipline. In urban geography, “generalizations can be made concerning a

single group comprised of like items, or one group can be compared and

contrasted with one or more other groups” (Northam 1975, 13). The idea that

cities differ in terms of economic functions and social characteristics has long

3

been known. Classification in geography is undertaken in an attempt to “search

reality for hypotheses...[and]...to structure reality to test specific hypotheses that

have already been formulated” (Yeates and Garner 1980, 95).

One of the ways in which geographers have classified cities, in terms of

describing the external relations, is called functional town classification. The

simplest way of classifying cities is to identify the distinctive role they play in the

city system. These schemes are qualitative in nature and are often highly

intuitive. Of the many classifications of this sort, a good example is that

undertaken by Aurousseau in 1921. Based on general observations, he

identified six types of cities based on the dominant economic functions they

perform: administration, defense, culture, production, communications, and

recreation. (Aurousseau 1921) Although it was noted that cities may perform a

combination of these general functions, it was common to find that one of them

dominated to indicate the major role a city plays in the organization of space.

A similar type of general classification was that proposed in 1945 by Harris

and Ullman, who recognized three general types of cities: (1) central places

performing a wide range of services for local hinterlands; (2) transportation cities

performing break-of-point and allied activities for larger regions; and (3)

specialized-function cities dominated by one activity, such as manufacturing, or

recreation, and serving a wider national market. (Harris and Ullman 1945)

The results of these classifications, when mapped, provide some useful

information about the patterns of functional specialization within the city system.

4

However, there is little gained from a simple organization of facts. There must be

a purpose in the classification system because spatial recognition cannot be the

only basis for scientific analysis. Other statistical procedures should be

undertaken to shed light on possible patterns that may be unseen on a two-

dimensional representation of the data.

Nature of Problem

We as humans are continually classifying everything from the rocks

beneath our feet to the stars beyond our reach. These taxonomic models are

continually being examined and studied with appropriate changes being made.

Almost all, however, have dealt with larger cities and not urban places with fewer

than 10,000 persons. By classifying these urban centers we may be able to see

patterns at a micro-scale that could possibly be used to address problems in

larger cities.

The nature of functional classification has evolved in the past century,

beginning with a qualitative approach by Aurousseau where general observations

were the basis. The majority of the functional classifications developed by

geographers across the United States were based on cities with more than

10.000 people. Only a small number of classified small cities and towns under

10.000 people, because of the apparent difficulty of processing the grouped

employment data for small cities. Now, with the availability of electronic data and

5

faster computers, it is plausible to work with the data as presented by the U.S.

Census Bureau.

Over time, many geographers made attempts to be more objective, and

this led to several different methods including multivariate statistics being

developed. However, no one method has proven to be completely accurate, as

all are trying to rationalize an extremely complex and dynamic system.

Research Objectives

There are two principal objectives for this thesis: 1) To create a

contemporary taxonomy of the small urban places (population 2,500-10,000) in

the study area using a standard classification method for urban geography. 2) To

discover and understand the spatial distribution of the dominant economic

functions of small cities in the study area.

Hypotheses & Rationale

The five states of Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota and

Minnesota should allow for a broad enough study area containing many

discernable spatial patterns of functionality. Based on previous studies, there

should be solid evidence supporting the three types of cities by support: central

places (a study by Brush in Wisconsin in 1953), special functions, and transport

cities. Based on results from other studies, retail centers and manufacturing

should be the most common functional class (Freestone et al. 2003; Harris 1943;

6

Nelson 1955). Mining, Transportation and Public Administration would likely be

some of, if not the least occurring functions due to the specialization and

necessity for resources or other special site requirements. The creation of the

taxonomy should result in finding many location specific examples, and more

than likely follow typical functional patterns. It is expected that solid evidence will

be found supporting the three types of cities by support: central places, special

functions, and transport cities. Research on the small urban places of the Great

Plains region in the late 1960’s by Charles Gildersleeve indicated that North and

South Dakota were primarily retail trade dominant. Nebraska was more

diversified, and not as trade oriented. Manufacturing has a greater influence in

the area east of the Missouri River including Iowa and portions of Minnesota.

(Gildersleeve 1969)

Using nearest neighbor analysis, spatial patterns should be found to assist

in understanding the distribution of functions throughout the region. When

attempting to understand spatial distributions and relationships, geographers

must realize that “the classification procedure that is adapted should produce

groups of towns about which the greatest number, most precise, and most

important statements can be made for the differentiating and accessory

characteristics” (Cline 1949, 82). This means that one cannot simply say that

group ‘X’ is located in area ‘Z’; we should be able to associate other

characteristics of towns in that group. With this in mind, classifications of towns

7

by function may possibly lead to generalizations about the location patterns and

the relationships with particular functions and their hinterlands.

The lack of significant data and interest has primarily been the reason for

the dearth of research on cities with less than 10,000 in population. With census

data more available today, it is possible to successfully complete this research.

Studies have occurred since the 1950’s on classifying the economic functions of

cities - at higher population centers (i.e., above 10,000). These study areas also

need to be readdressed since much has changed over the past half century, and

geographers ought to study the changes in city functionality over time. The

opportunity for a comparative temporal analysis of functionality will be achieved

through this research.

There must be a concentrated effort to not just report the results, but be

more scientific. “There is nothing inherently wrong with functional classifications

per se, yet without reference to the accessory characteristics, they have precious

little geographical relevance” (Smith 1965, 548). “The service classifications of

urban areas have often proved to be ends in themselves rather than points of

departure for further research” (Wilson 1962, 125). With this in mind, the overall

purpose of functional classifications in urban geography should be geared

towards gaining better understanding of the diverse and dynamic relationships

both vertical (function) and horizontal (countryside relationships) that make up

the true functionality of a city.

8

While analyzing the small urban center of Minnesota in 1959, John W.

Webb claimed that data are difficult to use for small urban centers. He

concluded the research by saying “work on a broad canvas should be

undertaken, despite the difficulties. Only in this way will the description of the

particular be clarified and general principles evolved” (Webb 1959, 72).

Significance of Research

Many studies conducted on classifying the economic functions of cities

were done several decades ago. These study areas should be readdressed

since much has changed over that time period. Freestone, Murphy and Jenner

recently updated a classic city classification of Australian towns, and many new

patterns and employment distributions were discovered. (Freestone et al. 2003)

Geographers also need to examine and re-evaluate the functional

changes in towns over time. Perhaps planners and city administrators can use

the results found in this study to assist them in planning the future economy in

their cities. This research will create a contemporary classification of small urban

places in the upper central United States. “This line of study might be likened to

one studying the human heart without regard for its role as a part of the

physiological system of the entire body. To study a single city without regard for

the whole urban system of which it is part is equally limited and short-sighted”

(Northam 1975, 99). There is a need to understand the small cities and towns, in

order to truly understand the larger, more complex system. This study is original

9

in the sense that it is a hybrid of the various studies done on functional city

classifications. The framework will be established for further research into

understanding the dynamic economic functionality of small urban centers.

Study Area

The area under investigation is a five state area making up the north-

central portion of the United States: Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota

and Minnesota. These five states should allow for a broad enough study area

containing many discernable spatial patterns of functionality. The small urban

centers are also quite prominent in this region, which will assist in the overall

analysis of the character and nature of functional distribution (see Figure 2).

Chapter Summary

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the spatial distribution of

economic functions for the small urban places in the study area using a standard

classification method for urban geography, and to discover and understand the

spatial distribution of the dominant economic functions of these places utilizing

nearest neighbor analysis.

This study should produce spatial patterns of distribution based on the site

and situation of the place. There may also be a strong influence of function

based upon proximity to a larger urban area. The creation of a contemporary

taxonomy of the small urban places in the study area, and subsequent

understanding of the spatial distribution of dominant economic features should

provide the base for future investigation into small urban center relationships and

classification.

Chapter 2 follows with a review of the literature on urban geography that

specifically addresses varying methods and theories of functional classification.

Chapter 3 discusses the methodological design, data collection, and analyses

performed in the research study, while chapters 4 and 5 provide an extensive

discussion of the results and conclusions of the research study.

Chapter 2

Literature Review

With respect to the discipline of geography as a whole, urban geography

is a relatively new field of study, and this has an impact on the quantity of

literature available for functional classification. The purpose behind each of

these studies is to find relationships in the spatial distribution of economic

functions in an attempt to better understand the incredibly complex urban

structure. The nature of functional classifications has changed throughout the

course of the last 100 years, with ever more concentrated efforts made to

produce more objective results. This had led to the application of various

statistical methods including multivariate statistical analysis in an attempt to

discover relationships within the dynamic urban system.

The literature on functional classification in urban geography presented in

this chapter follows this progression described above, with a focus on the

importance of understanding the roots of functional classification theory. The

chapter is divided into three sections: (1) traditional functional classifications, (2)

a guideline for functional classification analysis, and (3) multivariate statistical

analysis. The first part examines the foundation of functional classification

through the original architects of the discipline. The second section sets the

framework for a more scientific and replicable methodological design in city

classification. The final portion of the chapter discusses more recent

13

classifications accomplished with the application of multivariate statistical

analysis approaches including regression, factor analysis, and cluster analysis.

Traditional Functional Classifications

The idea that cities differ in function has long been understood, dating

back to the earliest time of city development Chauncy Harris’ (1943) A

Functional Classification o f Cities in the United States was the first to classify

cities in the U.S. by economic functions. This classification started a whole new

wave of urban geography in the mid 20th century. Many geographers used his

model as a base for future attempts at classifying and discovering spatial

distribution. Harris studied 1930 census data, including occupation and

employment figures. His classification included 984 cities of 25,000 or more

people and was based upon the activity of greatest importance in each city (see

Figure 3). Harris used the employment figures as the principal basis for

classification chart, while the occupation figures were used to supplement the

interpretation. Arbitrary class breaks of 74%, 60%, 50%, and 25% were used.

Harris then mapped the location of the cities

based on the category he calculated. He

concluded that the central-location theory was

exemplified by wholesale centers, and retail

centers. Mining and resort centers are based

heavily on materials or climate. Industrial cities Figure3: Functional classes used byChauncy Harris (1943)

have both location factors related to markets and raw materials. The

manufacturing belt was shown by the influence of power and labor supply.

(Harris 1943) The lasting impact of this article was that Harris attempted to

create a quantitative model that could be replicated in the future. He was able to

show a spatial pattern existed with his results, which led to further studies by

other geographers.

Howard Nelson published A Service Classification of American Cities, in

1955. Nelson used employment data in 24 industry groups for 897 urban

concentrations of 10,000 or more people. The data were then arbitrarily grouped

into nine major categories of service functions. For each industry group, the

average proportion of the labor force engaged in that activity was determined.

Most cities didn’t have average employment in a given industry; therefore, a

variation from the mean existed. This was done because Nelson wanted to

create a classification based on clearly stated statistical procedures. Nelson

used a more statistical method than his predecessors - standard deviation. He

used standard deviation to establish degrees of functional specialization in a

given industry group. Nelson calculated three standard deviations above the

mean of each industry group, since he was specifically concerned with higher

levels of employment. This would allow for a degree of emphasis inside the

overall functional specialization in a city. This research discovered many

instances of geographical patterns. Manufacturing was the most common of all

functions, with more than 1/5 of the 897 cities, and was located in the traditional

15

manufacturing belt of the country. (Nelson 1955) Retail trade tended to be

located more in the central portion of the country, and wasn’t present in the

region dominated by manufacturing. Nelson’s method was a multi-functional

approach, which is a stronger method of measuring economic levels than a

simple dominant classification.

A landmark article was written by Chauncy Harris and Edward Ullman in

1945 titled The Nature of Cities. The focus is on the support and internal

structure of cities. The concept emphasizing that the services the city provides

are based upon its hinterland. The service by which the city earns its livelihood

depends on the nature of the economy of the surrounding area. The land must

produce a surplus in order to support cities. This does not necessarily mean that

every city needs to be encompassed by a productive land, since a strategic

location may be more important. Three categories of support are discussed by

Harris & Ullman: (1) cities as central places, (2) transport cities, and (3)

specialized function cities. The first category describes cities as central places

performing comprehensive services for a surrounding area. Such cities tend to

have an even spatial distribution throughout a productive area (Figure 4a). This

is a common occurrence in the study area for this thesis, particularly in the state

of Iowa. Transport cities tend to perform break of bulk and other services along

major transportation routes including rail lines, roads, and seaways (Figure 4b).

These cities are often found in linear patterns because other smaller cities play a

supporting role along the transportation route. Specialized function cities perform

16

one service such as mining, manufacturing, or

recreation for large areas, and include several smaller

cities in the immediate surrounding area that support

the dominant function (Figure 4c). Commonly, cities are

a combination (see Figure 4d) of the above mentioned

factors with the relative importance varying from

location to location. (Harris and Ullman 1945)

Also discussed with detail were the internal

structures of cities including the concentric zone theory,

sector theory, and the multiple nuclei concept. The

importance of this article is that Harris and Ullman are

providing a strong base for further research in urban

geography, within a theoretical framework prescribed in

their research. (Harris and Ullman 1945)

A look into small towns was conducted by John

Brush in 1953 with The Hierarchy of Central Places in

Southwestern Wisconsin. This article examines the

importance of population on the ability to develop larger

trade areas. The influence and character of central

places were examined. Locational patterns developed

by C.J Galpin (1915), J.H Kolb (1946), and Christaller

(1933) are examined. Also, the traffic flow as an

influencing factor was mapped. Brush presents a solid application of central

place theory on small towns in Wisconsin. (Brush 1953)

Basic Concepts in the Analysis o f Small Urban Centers o f Minnesota in

1959 by John W. Webb examined the functional characteristics of cities using a

different methodology than previous geographers. Webb endorsed the standard

deviation method use by Howard Nelson (1955), L.L Powell (1953), and

Steigenga (1955) as a valid method of measuring specialization of service

functions. (Webb 1959)

Webb created a method that would account for a function’s importance to

a city relative to other cities. “The functional index,” where the percentage of the

employed population in a function is divided by the mean employment in all the

towns. Using the U.S. Census data of 1950, Webb created seven categories of

functions and calculated the functional index for each category of towns with

population 2,500-10,000, and also for populations 10,000-50,000. Webb also

attempted to create a system of measuring a town’s level of specialization or the

“specialization index.” Webb concluded by calling for more research on smaller

towns to be embarked upon in the future. (Webb 1959)

Functions and Occupational Structure o f Cities o f the American South, by

John Fraser Hart in 1955 is a functional classification system based upon Harris’

design of 1943. The purpose of the study was threefold: (1) to discover cities

whose function has changed since 1930, (2) to classify cities which have passed

the 10,000 population mark since 1930, and (3) analyze the distribution, size,

18

and occupational structure of cities within each functional category. The

geographic area examined is the U.S. Census’ definition of the South. (Hart

1955)

Hart’s study was based primarily on occupational data for the cities over

10,000 in population. This method leads to a mutually exclusive classification

based on the function of the city in terms of the people who live there and what

they do (similar to what is pursued in this thesis). Hart calculated the industry

data for the cities and determine the minimal, quartile, median, and upper decile

percentage for each age group. Manufacturing, retail trade, and personal

services were found to be the dominant functional service of cities in the south.

(Hart 1955)

An examination of small towns was undertaken in an article by Howard

Stafford in 1963 titled The Functional Bases o f Small Towns. Stafford claims that

theories developed for central places should hold true for the whole spectrum of

city size, from the largest to the smallest. The purpose of Stafford’s study was to

determine the functional bases for small towns in southern Illinois and compare

the results with similar studies throughout the region. His research was based on

Thomas’ Iowa study where data are attained for each town and values are

calculated for (1) total number of establishments, (2) total number of functions,

and (3) total number of functional units. (Thomas 1960) Stafford confirmed what

was generally understood that a relationship existed between population and the

three indices by applying simple correlation and regression analysis. The final

19

results of this study found that most towns were service centers. This was

consistent to what Berry and Garrison (Berry and Garrison 1958) discovered

since small towns simply do not have sufficient threshold populations or large

enough trade areas to support a specialized function. Stafford concludes that a

whole possible realm of research could be investigated by comparing the results

from many regions around the country in an attempt to create generalizations

with regards to economic functions in small towns. (Stafford 1963)

Howard Nelson followed up his classification of cities in the United States

in 1955 with an article titled Some Characteristics o f the Population of Cities in

Similar Service Classifications in 1957. With regards to concerns over the

relevance of classifications as simply a reference tool, Nelson claimed that

classifications should be utilized for further and more in-depth analysis of the

urban configuration. Analyses have been made of population change, education,

age, and labor force, but the main focus of Nelson’s research is to investigate

possible relationships amongst different functions. Nelson simply used the

classifications of U.S. cities as a basis for the study. (Nelson 1957)

It was evident through the research that variations in economic and social

qualities of American cities are related to the function or service classes to which

a city belongs. Nelson found that variations in the rate of change in population in

the 1940 to 1950 decade were strongly affected by a city’s leading function. One

example of this is that the population in cities classified under personal service

and professional service are increasing by more than twice the typical rate.

20

Contrast that with the population change in manufacturing where little to no

growth had occurred. (Nelson 1957)

Nelson also addressed the effects of regional location on social and

economic characteristics. The regional averages of population increase,

education, female labor force, male labor force, age, unemployment, and

average earnings were examined for the geographic regions of the Northeast,

North Central, South, and West. Nelson concluded that this research indicated a

relationship between the service class and regional location on the

characteristics of a city. According to the research, the characteristics of a region

generally affected people of all classes, ages, and gender. (Nelson 1957)

A Guideline for Functional Classification Analysis

The purpose of functional classifications is to identify the spatial

regularities in the distribution and structure or urban functions. Unfortunately,

according to Roberts H. T. Smith’s Method and Purpose in Functional Town

Classification, most studies lack a clear and specific objective. Most

classifications created ended up being ends to themselves instead of a

springboard for future research. Geographers also seem to be satisfied to simply

report their findings in broad geographic terms. The overwhelming majority of

classifications were be created by urban geographers in order to develop a new

methodology and simply display their results, rather than conducting a more

detailed analysis of the data. The primary purpose of Smith’s article is to review

21

several classification methods developed in the mid 20th century and point out

flaws and offer a blueprint on how to effectively conduct scientific research.

(Smith 1965)

The classification procedure that is used should produce groups of towns

about which the greatest number, most precise, and most important statements

can be made concerning differentiating and accessory characteristics.

Furthermore, to be justified on other than pedagogic grounds, any classification

should be relevant to a well defined problem. As a result, when towns are

classified according to function (the differentiating characteristic), we not only

want to say something about the function or combination of functions typical of

that group; knowledge of membership in any one group should automatically

carry with it knowledge of additional characteristics of the towns in that group.

Smith claims it is not difficult to deduce that there are at least two spatial

characteristics associated with town functions. First, since there is some spatial

order to the distribution of economic activities in general, we can then expect to

find distributional characteristics of towns in similar functional classes that are

abnormal to those classes. Second, given the notion that function implies a

relationship between a town and its hinterland, different functional classes should

be connected with different forms of hinterland areas. (Smith 1965) With this

thought process, classification of towns by function may lead to the formalization

of generalizations about location patterns of towns and the relationships between

22

towns with particular functions and their hinterlands, which is the essence of this

thesis.

Multivariate Statistical Analysis

Hart and Salisbury’s (1965) Population Change in Middle Western

Villages: A Statistical Approach analyzed population trends in villages (places

with incorporated status and populations less than 1,000 persons outside large

urban areas) in 1960 for a nine state area of the Midwest. It discusses the

process of regression analysis and the manipulation of data to obtain a linear

relationship between the dependent (percentage of population change) and

independent variables and the need for each variable to have a normal

distribution. Scattergrams are used to help identify linear or non-linear

relationships between variables. Data that do not conform to a normal

distribution should be normalized by use of logarithms or square roots. Upon

completion of the regression analysis, the residuals of regression (villages lying

outside the standard error band of the line of regression) were then mapped and

eventually analyzed by their distance from major population centers, which

became another independent variable in the analysis. (Hart and Salisbury 1965)

Hart and Salisbury’s research supports the idea that patterns of village

growth are too complex to be satisfactorily explained by any simple set of

statistical variables. Hart and Salisbury provide a strong argument for the

23

implementation of multivariate statistical analysis in urban geography, particularly

when examining population change.

Another article discussing the statistical approach was What is a Central

City in the United States? Applying a Statistical Technique for Developing

Taxonomies in 1998 by Edward Hill, John Brennan and Harold Wolman. This

article included a detailed outline of the methodological design using cluster

analysis to group cities in the United States. The purpose of the article was to

create and discuss a methodological design using cluster analysis to group U.S.

central cities, and then employ discriminant analysis to ascertain a statistical

based validity for the groups. Overall, the article provides a solid framework by

discussing a highly technical step-by-step application of multivariate statistical

analysis including several charts and graphs describing the results. (Hill et al.

1998)

The most recent study on functional classifications was conducted by

Robert Freestone, Peter Murphy, and Alan Jenner in 2003 titled The Functions of

Australian Towns, Revisited. This inter-temporal research aimed to create a

contemporary classification of towns in Australia using principal components

analysis and cluster analysis. This article argued for continued classification of

urban areas because functionality does change over time, and through their

research, several changes had occurred since the last classification in 1965.

This article will be used as justification for this thesis project. (Freestone et al.

2003)

24

Factor analysis using varimax rotation has been commonly used in

classification research because of the ability to identify the underlying structure of

complex data sets. However, in the study conducted by Freestone et al., a clear-

cut principal components analysis (PCA) with varimax rotation was selected.

PCA has the ability to “provide an informative, low dimensional representation of

the data” (Boloton and Krzanowski, 1999). PCA was primarily used in their study

as an intermediate step towards cluster analysis. (Freestone et al. 2003)

Cluster analysis techniques have become more prominent in taxonomic

studies. Freestone, et al, chose Ward’s Method because it had been used in

other comparable studies. An advantage of using Ward’s Method is not having

fixed entries where cases cannot be removed from a cluster even though the

cluster structure may change with each new case being introduced. (Freestone

et al. 2003).

The data used were inclusive of all recognized urban centers using the

1996 census data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The data

contained twelve 1-digit Australian and New Zealand Standard Industry

Classification codes for all 741 cities with a minimum population of 1,000 people.

The results of the research led to an updated economic classification of

Australian urban places. (Freestone et al. 2003).

Through cluster analysis, there were found to be thirteen distinct

groupings of urban places in Australia based on economic factors. A comparison

to Smith’s (1965) classification showed many notable differences including the

25

increase in overall population, the increase in the number of cities, and the

increased functional diversification of cities, among others. It was noted that

comparisons could indeed be made even though variations in methodologies

existed between the classifications conducted by Smith and Freestone, et al.

(Freestone et al. 2003)

Summary of Literature

Although the time-scale of urban geography is relatively short, the

development of methodological techniques and conceptual blueprints as regards

to how to generalize and understand the geographic relationships cities have

with one another is quite astonishing. Harris, Ullman, Nelson, and Hart set the

framework of functional classification as the original architects of the discipline.

Smith developed a methodological outline for a more scientific and replicable

methodological design in city classifications for the future. More recent

applications of multivariate statistical analysis created other avenues for scientific

inquiry to be obtained.

Over time, many geographers made attempts to be more objective, and

this led to several different methods being developed. However, no one method

has proven to be completely satisfactory, as all are trying to rationalize an

extremely complex and dynamic system. With this in mind, an attempt to better

understand the dynamic relationships both vertical (function) and horizontal

(countryside relationships) that make up the true functionality of a city is

26

exceptionally challenging. Therefore, the necessity of understanding the

foundation of functional classification theory and methodology is critical to the

urban geographer when undertaking the complex and diverse project of creating

a taxonomy and attempting to find subsequent relationships. .With these

thoughts in mind, this study continues with a discussion of the methodology

developed and utilized to answer the questions posed by this thesis

27

Chapter 3

Methodology

In discussing the role of geography within the scope of academic

research, Haring, Lounsbury, and Frazier state that “geography is the branch

largely concerned with the attainment of spatial knowledge, and is also

concerned with the identification, analysis, and interpretation of spatial

distributions of phenomena and their locational relationships as they occur on the

planet” (Haring et al. 1992, 5). The purpose of functional classifications is to

identify the spatial regularities in the distribution and structure or urban functions,

and this is consistent with the accepted role of geography in academia. The

steps explained in this chapter are in line with the two primary objectives for this

thesis: 1) To create, a contemporary taxonomy of the small urban places

(population 2,500-10,000) in the study area using a standard classification

method for urban geography. 2) To discover and explain the spatial distribution of

the dominant economic functions of small cities in the study area.

The chapter follows the steps shown in the methodological model as seen

in Figure 5. These stages include the acquisition of data, database organization,

and evaluation of the data by creating a modern taxonomy and applying nearest

neighbor analysis in order to establish spatial distribution patterns. The process

was partially adapted from previous functional classifications in urban geography

with minor alterations in classes.

Data Characteristics and Acquisition

Industry data obtained from the 2000 U.S. Census was used for this thesis

project. “A common assumption in functional town classification is that the city’s

labor force is the best single indicator of the structure of the urban economy”

(Yeates and Garner 1980, 97). Going with tradition, the data used will be based

on the industry of working population in each small urban place in the study area.

Other geographical classification studies have also used the industrial census

data (Harris, 1943; Webb, 1959; Nelson, 1955, Hart, 1955, Freestone et al.,

2003). The data set was obtained in electronic form via the U.S. Census Bureau

online at http://www.census.gov. Information was only collected for cities with

populations between 2,500 and 10,000 were collected. The data contained the

number of employed persons in each urban place, and are divided into 13 major

categories. The data were then broken down into more specific industries on

several occasions (see Table 2).

Database Organization

A vital and often times overlooked component of a thesis is the

organization of data so an effective and accurate assessment can be completed.

The initial step taken to accomplish the first objective was to group the 13

industrial categories into services classes for the new taxonomy. Using previous

models (Harris 1943 and Nelson 1955) and with consultation of the thesis

committee, eleven classes were chosen for this study (see Table 3). The

employment by industry data from the census is by place of residence, not place

of work. It is important to note the omission of agriculture, forestry, fishing and

hunting in this classification since these people are most likely performing

activities in the countryside, and this would not be considered an economic

function of the city. Also, the combination of educational, health and social

services with professional scientific, management, administrative and waste

management services was done because these occupations are considered to

be "professional" in nature.

Of the 280 cities in the study area, many were in close proximity of

Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Within the study area there were 18

MSAs including Omaha, Sioux City, Waterloo-Cedar Falls, Dubuque, Cedar

Rapids, Davenport, Iowa City, Des Moines, Duluth-Superior, St. Cloud,

Minneapolis-St. Paul, Rochester, Fargo-Moorhead, Grand Forks, Lincoln,

Bismarck, Sioux Falls and Rapid City, (see Figure 7) To alleviate the influence of

these larger cities, all cities within the 2,500 to 10,000 population range that were

contained within contiguous urbanized area of the MSA cities were excluded

from the study. This led to a subtraction of 49 cities mostly in the Minneapolis-St.

Paul metropolitan area (see Figure 8). The remaining 231 cities were then

organized by the number of employed persons for each of the eleven classes

(see APPENDIX A for cities sorted by population, and APPENDIX B for cities

sorted alphabetically).

Creating the Taxonomy

Various methods have been developed and tested throughout the past

century, and no single method has been determined to be the best. When

determining a method to use for this thesis, it is important to consider the overall

objectives of the study. The purpose of this classification is to compare the

economic functions of towns within the specified population range in one

particular geographic region. With this in mind, the standard deviation method

developed by Howard Nelson provides an approach that works well for this study

because the degrees of variation lead to a classification of multi-functionality and

gives a solid relative comparison of these cities. Furthermore, for the purpose of

33

creating a classification that is both understandable and replicable, the standard

deviation method works well.

Standard deviations from the mean of each function were calculated for

each of the eleven categories. There are three degrees of variation from the

average following the standard deviation breaks. Subjective selection of class

breaks has been eliminated by the implementation of an accepted statistical tool

such as standard deviation. With regards to the taxonomy, any city over +1 SD

from the mean value in manufacturing will be given a Mf1 rating. Over +2 SD’s

receives a Mf2 rating and + 3 SD or more gets a Mf3 rating. This approach

delivers a simple rating that is easily understood. The biased formula for

standard deviation was used for this study:

l i e * - ) a

Where: X - Sample arithmetic mean

n - Sample size

Xi = ith Observation of the variable X

23^ = Summation of all X{ values in the samplei- 1

When applied to the 231 remaining cities in the study area, the method

described is not mutually exclusive because there is a possibility that a city can

exceed the requirements (i.e., + 1SD or more) in more than one service category.

34

There is also a possibility that some cities will not rank high enough in any of the

eleven service categories. These cities are placed into a “diversified” group in

the taxonomy, thus the classification has a total of twelve categories.

Creating the Classification Maps

In order to visualize the spatial distribution within a two-dimensional

framework, the results of the classification needed to be mapped. There were

multiple methods for compiling city location data to be implemented into a GIS

mapping program. Since the cities were located within a five state area, it was

most logical to use a dataset that included all the states for consistency. ESRI, a

leading distributor of GIS software and data, provides a dataset that includes all

cities in the United States. The 231 cities in the survey were selected from the

ESRI data set using a query search in ArcGIS 9. A new shapefile was created to

be used for adding standard deviation values for mapping purposes. In order to

create the maps of economic functionality, an operation called a "join" was

completed. A join simply combines the data from two databases through a

specified field name, in this case, the city name. However, when dealing with

multiple states, often times a city name was found more than once. These

duplicate names such as Glenwood (Iowa and Minnesota) created an invalid join

because the data were combined due to the lack of a unique value for each city.

An alternate naming method was established where city names were sorted

35

alphabetically and an "ID" number was established for each city. This eliminated

any problems with duplicate city names.

Once the city location and standard deviation classification datasets were

joined together, the mapping of the twelve functions was completed. Each of the

twelve economic functions was mapped by using the query search in ArcGIS. A

query search allows for the selection of values (cities) based up the attribute

data. In this case, each city was given a value of 0. 1, 2, or 3 for each economic

function in the classification The 0 was a null value, and the 1, 2, and 3

indicated the amount of standard deviations above the mean. A visual

representation of this process is show below in Figure 9.

Nearest Neighbor Analysis

Essentially geography is concerned with distributions in space and one the

most important distributions the geographer has to consider is that of human

settlement. A primary objective of many geographic studies that begin with

locations of a variable on a dot map is to determine the form of the pattern of

points. The nature of the point pattern can reveal information about the process

that produced the geographic results. (McGrew and Monroe 1993) General

descriptions have been used in previous functional classifications that include

described patterns as "dense" or "sparse." Devising a more precise

mathematical description of areal distributions is needed to produce objective

results. (Hammond and McCullagh 1975)

Urban geographers are interested in using a method of analysis that

discerns objectively between clustered and dispersed spatial distributions, and

also distinguishes between degrees of clustering or dispersal. (Yeates 1974)

Nearest Neighbor Analysis is a common procedure for determining the spatial

arrangement of a pattern of points within a study area. The distance of each

point to its closest neighbor is measured, and the average nearest neighbor

distance for all points is determined. This method quantitatively defines a scale

which measures the degree of departure of an observed spatial distribution from

a theoretical random distribution. (Silk 1979) The maximum departure at one

end of the scale is absolute clustering, where all points are at the same place.

The other end is absolute uniformity, where all points are equidistant from other

37

points. Basically, there are three benchmarks: absolute clustering, absolute

randomness, and absolute dispersal. The index ranges from 0, indicating

clustering, to 2.15, indicating maximum dispersion. The index value, normally

written as R, is calculated by dividing the measured mean distance between

neaiest neighbor points in a given area, by the mean distance to be expected

from a similar number of points randomly distributed in the same area.

(Hammond & McCullagh 1975)

Nearest Neighbor Analys s was performed on each economic function of

the classification using a Visual Basic application in ArcGIS (Sawada 2002) The

program performed basic Nearest Neighbor Analysis (Clark and Evans 1954)

and provided summary statistics of the point distribution for each function. An

example output of the application for construction is shown below in Figure 10.

Chapter Summary

Once again, the primary focus of creating a functional classification is to

identify the spatial relationships and the distribution of specific urban functions.

This chapter followed the methodological model formulated around the two

objectives of the thesis. The process was adapted from previous functional

classifications within the accepted framework of urban geography.

Staying consistent with previous studies concerning functional

classifications, the occupational data obtained from the 2000 U.S. Census was

used. Only cities with populations between 2,500 and 10,000, and not contained

within the contiguous urbanized area of a MSA city, were collected.

When determining a method to use for this thesis, it is important to

consider the overall objectives of the study. The purpose of this classification is

to compare the economic functions of towns within the specified population range

in one particular geographic region and to discover spatial relationships. The

standard deviation method developed provides an approach that allows a multi­

functional classification, and provides a firm relative assessment of these cities.

The mapping of the classification by economic functions provides a unique

insight of the spatial distribution of the cities. Nearest Neighbor analysis is a

valid statistical tool for determining spatial distribution in a two-dimensional

space.

39

Chapter 4

Analysis of Results

In this chapter an explanation is given for the results of the functional

classification. The first step is to present details of the descriptive statistics for

this study and make comparisons with previous studies. The second section

includes a detailed discussion of the spatial distribution of each service class

within the new functional classification. The final segment is dedicated to the

exploration of nearest neighbor analysis results.

The purpose of this classification is to compare the economic functions of

towns within the specified population range in one particular geographic region.

Keeping this in mind, the standard deviation method provides an approach that

works well for this study because the degrees of variation lead to a classification

of multi-functionality and gives a solid relative comparison of these cities.

Standard deviations from the mean of each function were calculated for

each of the eleven categories. There are three degrees of variation from the

average following the standard deviation breaks. With regards to the new

taxonomy, any city over +1 SD from the mean value in mining will be given a Mil

rating, +2 SD’s receives a Mi2 rating, and + 3 SD or more gets a Mi3 rating. This

approach delivers a simple rating that is easily understood.

The five state study area provided 231 cities of population 2,500 to 10,000

that were not contained within the contiguous area of city with a population of at

least 50,000. There were 91 cities in Minnesota, 84 in Iowa, 31 in Nebraska, 17

in South Dakota, and 8 in North Dakota. The average population for the cities in

the study area was 4,829.6, and the average employment per city was 2,334.8.

Standard deviations from the mean were calculated for each of the eleven

categories as discussed in detail in chapter 3. The results are shown below in

Table 4. When examining the averages per function, several numbers stick out

including the rather high portion of people engaged in professional service

industries and manufacturing, and to some extent personal service. The

importance of services that provide for the needs of the surrounding countryside

is quite evident when reviewing the results.

Several intriguing similarities and differences can be found while

comparing the average employment per function in this classification with

previous studies conducted by Nelson (1955), Atchley (1967), and Webb (1959).

Most of the functions were relatively consistent, especially public administration,

which was between four and five percent in each of the four studies.

Manufacturing in this study was similar to Webb, but much less than the national

studies by Nelson and Atchley. Professional Service industries made up an

average of almost 29 percent in this study, compared to 11 percent (Nelson),

14.7 percent (Atchley), and 16.9 percent (Webb).

Functional Classification

The creation of a modern functional classification of small towns is the

primary objective of the thesis. The cities were classified using the standard

deviation results for the eleven economic classes. Of the 231 cities, 45 did not

meet the criteria established to be +1 SD in any of the eleven functions. These

45 cities are grouped together in the diversified group, meaning that they are not

unusually high in any single function. There were 107 cities that qualified with

only one function, 63 cities had two functions at least +1 SD, 14 cities reached

three functions, and two cities actually had four functions of at least +1 SD or

above (Belle Fourche, SD and Elkhorn, NE). Cities located in North and South

Dakota had a high degree of multi-functionality. In fact, 22 of the 25 (88%) cities

within those two states had at least two functions with a minimum of +1 SD. The

opposite was true in Iowa, where only 23 of the 84 (27%) cities had multi­

functionality. The complete results of the taxonomy are located in APPENDIX C.

42

City Classification Spatial Distribution

With the second objective in mind, the following section includes a

detailed discussion of the spatial distribution for each of the eleven service

functions, plus diversified cities Focus will be placed on the explanation of site

and situation, and other possible factors that could explain the reasoning for

nclusion within a particular function. The location of the 231 cities in the study

area is shown below in Figure 11. Notice the relatively even dispersion within the

corn belt of Iowa and Minnesota and the general bareness in the Dakotas and

the sand hills of Nebraska.

43

Mining Cities

There are few cities in the study area where mining is considered a

significant economic function, (see Table 5) Mining can be viewed as an optimal

example of site and situation because this activity only exists where the presence

of highly localized natural resources are found. The two distinct clusters of

mining activities are located in the iron ore region of northeast Minnesota, and in

the Black Hills of South Dakota (see Figure 12). There are however, a few

isolated locations in Beulah, North Dakota, Milbank, South Dakota, and Kimball,

Nebraska. Mining is the only economic activity that is not reported in every city.

Mining activities include sand and gravel pits, coal and metal mining, oil and gas

extraction, and limestone quarries. Interestingly, the areas with high levels of

mining also tend to have significant levels of personal service activities. Such

can be understood because of the location of these cities in more of a

comparative wilderness with rugged topography, and timber where vacationers

and sportsmen would also be found in elevated quantities.

Construction Cities

In terms of the number of cities in a particular function, the 35 cities

classified in the construction category are second only to manufacturing (see

Table 6). The average employment of 6.4 percent is not especially high, but is

higher than six other classes. Construction cities are found to be located near

larger cities, transportation routes, or manufacturing cities (see Figure 13). There

are 16 cities in Minnesota, nine in Iowa, six in Nebraska, three in South Dakota,

and only one in North Dakota. By examining the map, there are two clusters of

construction cities around Minneapolis/St. Paul and Omaha where heavy

expansion of suburbia is occurring. There are relatively few cities in this class in

North and South Dakota, and west of the Omaha area. In Iowa there is a

reasonably even distribution of construction cities throughout the state.

Manufacturing Cities

The number of cities with significant amounts (+1 SD or more) of

manufacturing is higher than any other category. Manufacturing tends to be an

important part of the economic structure in these urban places where an average

of 17.5 percent work in the industry (see Table 7). Most of the 38 classified cities

are part of the traditional manufacturing belt that spans from the northeast coast

of the United States to roughly the middle of Minnesota and Iowa (see Figure

14). The location of manufacturing cites also has a tendency to follow major

routes of transportation such as Interstate 35 through central Iowa and

Minnesota. Schuyler, Nebraska was the only city to receive a rating of + 3 SD in

manufacturing. North and South Dakota failed to register a single city in the

category. Of the 38 cities, 24 (63%) were specialized, meaning no other

economic function was significant.

Wholesale Trade Cities

The distribution of wholesale cities follows conventional central place

theory where the most significant places (+3 SD) are evenly spaced with smaller,

supportive cities found in between (see Figure 15). Wholesaling activities include

the sale of commodities in large quantities for retailers and the assembly and

sale of merchandise. In this region, farm equipment sales are a significant

industry of wholesale trade. These cities are generally located where specialized

forms of agricultural produce must be assembled, packaged, and marketed.

(Hart 1955) Access to transportation is also a high priority for wholesaling. Also,

there are no cities with +3 SD located within 30 miles of MSA cities. The average

amount of people working in wholesale trade is relatively small at only 3.1

percent. Even cities with a substantial amount (see Table 8) within the function

are typically multifunctional in this region.

Retail Trade Centers

One of the most dispersed functions in the classification are the retail

trade cities. These small urban places are responsible for providing goods to the

surrounding agricultural population. It could be said that these cities are the

backbone of rural America, particularly in this particular region of the country.

Cities average 12.76 percent of the workforces in this category. Within the study

area, half of the retail cities are specialized due to the high level of employment

in this function, (see Table 8). In the Black Hills region, cities are providing

merchandise targeting the tourist flow (see Figure 16). Waite Park, Minnesota,

just west of Minneapolis is a large shopping area. Sidney Nebraska, with an

incredible 29.06 percent engaged in retail trade, is home to sportsmen's

superstore Cabela's. Other locations are more dispersed and far away from

larger cities, signifying their role in supplying the hinterland.

Transportation Cities

Another example of site and situation, to a lesser degree than mining, is

that of transportation. Access to large scale routes of transportation such as

interstates, railways, or waterways is of critical importance. Only 16 cities

reached at least +1 SD from the mean, similar to mining (see Table 10).

Typically these cities are found in linear patterns or in groups because the

smaller cities play a supporting role along a transportation route. This sort of

pattern can be seen in western and extreme southeastern Nebraska (see Figure

17). Oftentimes, cities classified as transportation area also found in another

category such as manufacturing, construction, or mining. This category also

includes utility based industries like the nuclear power plant in Auburn, and the

coal factories associated with Beulah and Nebraska City. The importance of

transporting materials across the region from the east to west by railroad and

interstate highway is quite evident when examining the amount of transportation

cities in Nebraska. In fact, there just as many cities in this category from

Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota combined as there are in

Nebraska.

Information Technology Cities

A new category to the classification is that of information technology.

Most of the previous functional studies on cities in the United States either

occurred before the computer age or simply grouped communications and

transportation together in one class. Industries in this category include

newspaper publishing, radio and television broadcasting, libraries, data

processing services, software publishing, and other telecommunication services.

The average of 2.7 percent is second lowest only to mining, but there were 29

cities with at least +1 SD from the mean (see Table 11). The most intriguing

discovery in this service class was the distribution of cities. It is generally thought

that information technology jobs are only located in or around a larger city, but

this is not the case. A wide spatial distribution of cities, both close and far from

larger cities, are found (see Figure 18). There are no information technology

cities in North and South Dakota or west of the 98th meridian in Nebraska.

Finance Cities

Cities included within this category are related to finance, insurance, real

estate, and rental and leasing. Only 5.17 percent of the total employment is in

the finance class. Previous studies conducted in the United States have found

that a considerable amount of the largest cities in the country boast high levels of

banking and finance. Typically, this function is not going to be found in excessive

amounts in smaller cities. Within the study area, the city of Des Moines, Iowa, is

considered an insurance and financial center. A majority of the cities in this

category are from the state of Iowa. In fact, eight of the nine highest averages

come from the Hawkeye state (see Table 12). The spatial distribution of these

cities tends to be clustered around the Des Moines metropolitan area (see Figure

19). Proximity to a larger city can be seen as the rule with cities of this class

found around Sioux Falls, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Rapid City, and Omaha. One

obvious exception is that of International Falls, Minnesota, located along the

border with Canada.

Professional Service Cities

The category of professional services comprises the highest average of

any class by a considerable amount. Included in the professional service group

are accountants, payroll services, legal services, scientific and technical

management, advertising, consulting, educational services, and health care

services. The 30 cities in this class all exhibit a substantial amount of average

employment ranging from 34 percent to almost 48 percent (see Table 13). Many

of these cities are college towns like Grinnell, Orange City, Sioux Center,

Chadron, Mount Vernon, Vermillion, and Decorah. The distribution of these cities

is widespread and occurs in every state, providing the fundamental educational

and health services for the immediate surrounding region (see Figure 20). North

and South Dakota have a particularly high proportion of cities in this class. Five

of the eight cities in North Dakota, and five of seventeen in South Dakota are

classified as professional service cities. Also, all ten cities in the Dakotas are

multi-functional.

Personal Service Cities

Personal service is another function that is widely distributed throughout

the study area, but each state has a different set of circumstances. The average

employment of 12.25 percent is the fourth highest of the eleven functions. Of the

28 cities in this group, ten are in South Dakota, nine in Minnesota, five in Iowa,

and only two each in North Dakota and Nebraska (see Table 14). Cities in this

category are usually found in areas that attract a large flow of people. The tourist

area of the Black Hills is a prime example where five cities, including the largest

in the class, Lead, are located (see Figure 21). This region offers a multitude of

functions that fit into this class consisting of motels, restaurants, bars, gift shops,

sight-seeing, and gambling. The second and third highest cities in personal

service, Tama and Toledo, Iowa, are located only a few miles from one another.

The Meskwaki Casino and entertainment center provides a substantial amount of

employment for these two cities. Many cities in North Dakota are also classified

Public Administration Cities

Cities in this study area providing public administration services are almost

always going to be political centers or military installations. The overall average

employment in the study area is relatively low at only 4.11 percent, but many

cities in this category have significant levels (see Table 15). In other words,

much like mining, a city is either fairly low or quite high in public administration.

Unlike mining though, the location of these cities is not based on the proximity to

a natural resource. The spatial distribution of these cities is quite dispersed (see

Figure 22). The three air force bases of Minot, Ellsworth, and Grand Forks are all

at least +2 SD from the mean. Pine Ridge, South Dakota, is a significant political

center for the Lakota people, and is home to federal government sponsored

Bureau of Indian Affairs. Anamosa, Iowa, is home to a state penitentiary. Other

cities are local seats of government. All seven cities in North and South Dakota

classified as public administration also fall into the professional or personal

service class. Only half of the cities in Iowa and Minnesota are multi-functional.

Diversified Cities

Of the 231 cities within the study area of this functional classification, there

are 45 cities that did not reach at least +1 SD in any of the eleven services

classes (see Table 16). Iowa alone had 22 of the cities, and Minnesota was

second with 16. Nebraska has six cities in the category, North Dakota has one,

and South Dakota contains zero. The location of these cities tends to follow the

traditional cornbelt throughout Iowa, southern Minnesota, and through south-

central Nebraska (see Figure 19). These cities serve important roles in the local

economy despite not having a significant amount of employment in one of the

eleven classes. The spacing of these cities is quite even in Iowa and southern

Minnesota.

Nearest Neighbor Analysis

Many geographers utilize nearest neighbor analysis as a valid statistical

tool for determining spatial distribution in a two-dimensional space. The

maximum departure at one end of the scale is absolute clustering, where all

points are at the same place. The other end is absolute dispersal, where all

points are equidistant from other points. The index ranges from 0, indicating

clustering, to 2.15, indicating maximum dispersion.

The nearest neighbor results are shown below in Table 17. The columns

contain the index value (r value), average distance calculated in miles (Ave.

Dist), the expected average distance for the number of points randomly placed in

a study area (Exp.Ave.Dist), standard deviation (S.D.), the study area in square

miles (Area) and the number of cities per function (# of points). Overall, the point

distribution of each function, except retail, was random tending toward clustering.

Retail was random and slightly leaning towards uniformity. The average distance

between cities in the transportation class was the highest at 74.3 miles.

Diversified cities were the closest together at an average of 31.3 miles.

However, those cities were generally clustered towards the southeastern region

of the study area.

Summary of Results

It must be noted again that the purpose of functional classifications is to

identify the spatial regularities in the distribution and structure or urban functions.

This chapter provided an explanation of the results produced by the creation of

the contemporary functional classification of cities in the study area. Compared

to previous studies on city classification, many service categories were

consistent regarding percent of workers. Examples of this are public

administration, wholesaling, transportation, and to a certain extent mining. Other

economic classes such as personal and professional services were significantly

higher in this study than previous research had found in other geographic areas,

and city size. There was a noticeable divide in functions from the agricultural

portions of Iowa, Minnesota and eastern Nebraska to the rest of the study area of

western Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

Urban geographers are interested in describing the pattern of points within

a specified study area. With this in mind, the utilization of nearest neighbor

analysis, a method of analysis that distinguishes objectively between clustered

69

and dispersed spatial distributions was used. The results showed that most of

the spatial distribution was random, with a tendency towards clustering for every

function except retail, which was random tending towards uniformity. The results

of the nearest neighbor analysis demonstrate a degree of spatial distribution of a

two-dimensional distribution. It is important to reiterate that these cities provide

basic connections between the dispersed agricultural populations and the

agglomerated urban populations. For the most part, such direct connections as

do exist are through the goods and services which are provided in these small

towns for the agricultural population surrounding them.

Chapter 5

Conclusion

It is commonly understood that cities have diverse economic structures

and social characteristics. Many times these differences can be traced to

historical regional growth or resource availability. Recognition and better

understanding of these different types of cities results from their classification.

Classification is one way to organize complex and diverse information in order to

create a better understanding of processes and relationships. The relevance and

usefulness of classifications in geography is wide-spread throughout the

discipline. In urban geography, “generalizations can be made concerning a

single group comprised of like items, or one group can be compared and

contrasted with one or more other groups” (Northam 1975, 13).

Location also has been an important dimension in the study of systems of

cities. The activities and characteristics of a local community are thought to be

influenced not only by its immediate locality, but also by its ecological position

with respect to other centers of various sizes. Given the exchange relationships

between cities, and the economics of transportation and communication,

geographic location is an important aspect of this ecological position. (Fuguitt

and Field 1972) The small town is of academic interest because it represents the

lower end of the central place continuum. Any generalizations, theories, or laws

developed for central places should hold true for larger cities as well as smaller

cities. (Stafford 1963)

71

Harris, Ulfman, Nelson, and Hart set the framework of functional

classification as the original architects of the discipline. Smith developed a

methodological outline for a more scientific and replicable methodological design

in city classifications for the future. More recent applications of multivariate

statistical analysis created other avenues for scientific inquiry to be obtained.

The purpose behind each of these studies is to find relationships in the spatial

distribution of economic functions in an attempt to better understand the

incredibly complex urban structure.

Within the scope of academic research, “geography is the branch largely

concerned with the attainment of spatial knowledge, and is also concerned with

the identification, analysis, and interpretation of spatial distributions of

phenomena and their locational relationships as they occur on the planet”

(Haring et al. 1992, 5). The purpose of functional classifications is to identify the

spatial regularities in the distribution and structure or urban functions, and this is

consistent with the accepted role of geography in academia. There are two

primary objectives for this thesis: 1) To create a contemporary taxonomy of the

small urban places (population 2,500-10,000) in the study area using a standard

classification method for urban geography. 2) To discover and explain the spatial

distribution of the dominant economic functions of small cities in the study area.

Any system of classification should provide a vehicle for efficient

communication, a set of definitions, and a system of relationships among these

definitions. Each label in the classification system should convey the greatest

72

possible meaning in the fewest possible symbols. The categories should be

precisely defined, and overlapping should be eliminated wherever possible. The

goals of any such system are to allow the investigator to compare groups of cities

by type and allow him to reduce hundreds of cities into some kind of order.

(Atchley 1967)

Staying consistent with previous studies concerning functional

classifications, the occupational data obtained from the 2000 U.S. Census were

used. Only cities with populations between 2,500 and 10,000, and not contained

within the contiguous urbanized area of a MSA city were examined.

When determining a method to use for this thesis, it is important to

consider the overall objectives of the study. The purpose of this classification is

to compare the economic functions of towns within the specified population range

in one particular geographic region and to discover spatial relationships. The

standard deviation method developed provides an approach that allows a multi­

functional classification, and provides a firm, relative assessment of these cities.

The mapping of the classification by economic functions provides a unique

insight into the spatial distribution of the cities. Nearest neighbor analysis is an

applicable statistical tool for determining spatial distribution in a two-dimensional

space.

It must be noted again that the purpose of functional classifications is to

identify the spatial regularities in the distribution and structure or urban functions.

This chapter provided an explanation of the results produced by the creation of

73

the contemporary functional classification of cities in the study area. Compared

to previous studies on city classification, many service categories were

consistent regarding the amount of workers. Examples of this are public

administration, wholesaling, transportation, and to a certain extent mining. Other

economic classes such as personal and professional services were significantly

higher in this study than previous research had found in other geographic areas,

and city size. A noticeable divide was formed with functions from the agricultural

portions of Iowa, Minnesota and eastern Nebraska to the rest of the study area of

western Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

Urban geographers are interested in describing the pattern of points within

a specified study area. The utilization of nearest neighbor analysis provides a

method of analysis that distinguishes objectively between clustered and

dispersed spatial distributions. (Berry 1958) The results illustrate that most of the

spatial distribution was random, with a tendency towards clustering for every

function except retail, which was random tending towards uniformity. The results

of the nearest neighbor analysis demonstrate a degree of spatial distribution of a

two-dimensional distribution. It is important to reiterate that these cities provide

basic connections between the dispersed agricultural populations and the

agglomerated urban populations. For the most part, such direct connections as

do exist are through the goods and services which are provided in these small

towns for the agricultural population surrounding them.

74

The present study, in conjunction with those that have preceded it, lends

empirical support to Brush’s statement that “small towns and villages in

agricultural areas of Anglo-America exist mainly because of their function as

central places for the exchange of goods and services, each for its local farm

trade area” (Brush 1953, 380). By building one similar study upon another in

different areas, progress is made toward valid generalizations concerning the

economic functioning of central places, thus making precise prediction more

possible. (Stafford 1963)

These small places provide basic connections between the dispersed

agricultural populations and the agglomerated urban populations. For the most

part, such direct connections that do exist are through the goods and services

which are provided in these small towns for the agricultural population

surrounding them. Second, even if small towns do not fulfill their role of providing

goods and services for a dispersed farm population, the fact remains that these

small places exist and that economic activities are performed in them just as they

are in larger places. (Thomas 1960)

This thesis establishes the framework for further research into

understanding the economic functionality of small urban places. Future research

could investigate various issues including temporal studies, because

geographers should examine functional changes and spatial distribution as the

urban construct evolves. Another aspect that should be carefully examined is the

changes in population for cities in a particular region or service class. Other

75

forms of multivariate statistical analyses, such as cluster analysis or regression

analysis, could be used to locate groups of cities with similar economic

structures. Many plausible avenues can be utilized in order to discover and

understand this diverse and complex system, but it is crucial to employ a method

that strictly follows the research objective(s) of a particular study.
