  • There are two strategies for spatial modelling?

    - Simple strategy: use scenarios
    - Elaborate strategy: model land-use as well
  • What is the main mechanism for the transportation and spatial system?

    Transport system -> accessibility -> land use -> activities ->
  • What is the crucial link element in the wegners circle?

    transport -> accessibility
  • What are local conditions that play a major role for the location of settlements?

    - Safety
    - Water and food
    - Natural resources
    - Politics
    - Accessibility
  • 21 Classical theories on land use

  • What are the classical models use for land use?

    - Bid-rent concept (Von Thünen)
    - Competition for market (Christaller)
    - Agglomeration effect (Hotelling)
  • What are the main characteristics for the bid-rent concept?

    - Producers want to sell goods
    - Owners rent the land to producers (owners let the producers bid)
    - Producers will bid a rent which they still can make profits

    Producing for a larger area:
    - Cheaper production process
    - More expensive distribution
  • What is the example for agglomeration effects?

    Assume a beach of 1 km long where the visitors are uniformly distributed along the beach.
    What are the best locations on this beach for two ice vendors?
  • What are the three main findings on model land use models?

    - Simple economic models demonstrate that transportation affects land use
    - Competition of competitors for a market suggests a spatial pattern

    - Competition of competitors for a market suggests the existence of agglomeration factors
