!Answer
s?
Thomas Malthus’ Theory
• The world’s rate of population increase was higher than the development of food supplies
#1
Von Thunen Theory
• Emphasizes transportation cost in this model of agricultural land use
• From the center: city, horticulture & dairy, forestry, crop rotation, grazing
#2
Boserup Theory

• Food supply is adapted by farmers to meet the changing population
#3
Weber’s Least Cost Theory
• Cost of transportation determined by weight of the good and distance
to the market
#4
Bid-rent curve
• Land decreases in value as one gets farther from the CBD
• Intersections at major roads leading to the CBD can increase in land
values
#5
Rostow’s Development Model
• The traditional society• The preconditions for takeoff
• The take off• The drive to maturity
• The age of mass consumption#6
Gravity Model
• The potential use of a service at is location is related directly to
population and inversely to distance
