Restructuring of agriculture in late 20th cent has had important implications for rural land use and distribution on poultry is USA
Breifly describe 2 characteristics of the percent economic organization of poultry production
Large scale poultry farm and operations create more pulley houses and specialized farms for them
Same corporation owns all equipment and chicken farms- Tyson declares what the chicken farmer must do and must follow everything they demand for the chicken
Restructuring of agriculture in late 20th cent has had important implications for rural land use and distribution on poultry is USA
Describe 2 features of the present geographic distribution of poultry production in the us
Places w/ low wages
As more and more people eat chicken, the company will make more processing plants close on the market
Attracts immigrant work force- regionally contracted in depressed areas
Define the green revolution
A period of increase led agriculture activity an practices with the use of high yield seeds, pesticides, and artificial fertilizer
Explain the principle agriculture practices/ technologies associated with green revolution
Artificial fertilizers
Irrigation to water the crops
Insecticides to prevent bugs from messing with crops
Machinery used to collect crops instead of hand picking
High yield seeds produce more of the crop ad survive better bc they gmo
Name two different regions in different parts of the world where the green revolution has ha significant impact on crops
East Asia (China)
South east Asia (Vietnam
Latin America ( Mexico)
The development of suburbs in n America metro area has greatly accelerated since 1950 1960: discuss following that have contributed
Transportation
Interstate highway system increases transportation to suburbs; gives more people access to go there
The development of suburbs in n America metro area has greatly accelerated since 1950 1960: discuss following that have contributed
Housing reproduction
Sped up the assembly line process of building houses block to block; different contractors build different parts of the house (diffusion of labor)
The development of suburbs in n America metro area has greatly accelerated since 1950 1960: discuss following that have contributed
Landscape preference
People want big houses w/ no pollution from cities so they move out into suburbs where they get more space, more land, and no sharing of walls with other people

Social demographic trends
Baby boomers provide a demographic trend bc more people lookin for a place to live; post ww2 parents and kids no longer have tradition of living in same house of grandparents, they get their own
Drawing reflects agriculture activities in the hinterland of large urban areas
Predict locations
X takes place closer to the city (perishable items must be located close to the city so they don’t rot)
Y take place further from the city (need more land to grow crops)
Drawing reflects agriculture activities in the hinterland of large urban areas
Choose either activity and apply underlying principles of Von thunnens agricultural land use models to explain location
Location X deals with paritiable items, so they are closer to the market or else won’t be fresh
Location y deals with extensive agriculture, so they want cheap land to grow grain- and they aren’t perishable
Drawing reflects agriculture activities in the hinterland of large urban areas
Discuss two factors that explain why agriculture land use patterns today differ from those developed by the model
Technology like fridges has made it easier to keep perishable products from going bad for a longer period of time and there are trucks instead of ox carts
In the 1990 the central business district and te residential district of cities in USA become the focus of revitalization process: discuss each of the following contributed to it
Economic factors
The Service sectors (tertiary sector) expanded: created more research facilities and the demand for economic growth caused houses to move closer to cbd
In the 1990 the central business district and te residential district of cities in USA become the focus of revitalization process: discuss each of the following contributed to it
Demographic composition
Recent international immigrants move into the area (cbd) revitalizing the town
Set up own ethnic shops etc
Retired people move closer into the cbd to be able to go to all the intertwine my places
In the 1990 the central business district and te residential district of cities in USA become the focus of revitalization process: discuss each of the following contributed to it
Urban policy
Private partnerships bw government and company to redevelope cbd and subsidize people who want to restor the old cbd
In the 1990 the central business district and te residential district of cities in USA become the focus of revitalization process: discuss each of the following contributed to it
Sense of place
Feeling of attachment to a place make people want to restor the cbd back to the glory days, people keep the uniqueness of the area: they feel nostalgic and they have pride for the community (culture amenity)
Von thunen model of land use and burgess model of land use are similar in appearance but different in geographic setting
Identify type of land use model addresses
Von thunen uses agriculture or rural land use in model
Burgess uses urbane land use or city land use in model
Von thunen model of land use and burgess model of land use are similar in appearance but different in geographic setting
Identify 2 assumption that are shared by both models
Both models have one cbd in the center of the model and everything is determined by how far the land is from the center: they don’t take into account of hills, uniform land: transportation cost go up as you move away from center vise versa
Von thunen model of land use and burgess model of land use are similar in appearance but different in geographic setting
Explain how relative location effects the pattern in the models
VT- land closer in is used intensivly; dairy is near the center so it doesn’t spoil, wood for fuel is close to market (high cost transport)and further out the less perishable the items( more land and easy to transport stuff)
B- intensive landscape use in the center (cbd) cities build up- land use decrease as you move out and wealthy live further out in te rings
Larges proportion of urban residents in the mega cities of the periphery of the world live in squatter settlements
Describe typical location of squatter settlements w in urban areas of megacities on global periphery
They are found at the periphery of the city- in the flood plains, side of hills, and at the edge of town
Larges proportion of urban residents in the mega cities of the periphery of the world live in squatter settlements
Two factors that contribute to the formation of squatter settlements
Poverty and the lack of housing (not enough houses for people
People moving from country to urban and there is no place for them to live
Larges proportion of urban residents in the mega cities of the periphery of the world live in squatter settlements
3 consequences of the rapid growth of squatter settlements
Environmental- hurts water ways (unhealthy living conditions cause pollution bc lack of sanitation (mortality go up, crime go up)
Visual pollution- not very pleasant to see
Deforestation- cut up trees to use to set up there house
Over the past 150 years railroad and highway systems influenced patterns of urban growth in us
Explain one way they affected the size and one way effected the form of cities
The cities grew bigger which stimulates economic activity which cause the labor force to move in bc of accessiblity to the city: industry sector springs up next to the transportation line and then price of land around it goes up bc of demand for it
Over the past 150 years railroad and highway systems influenced patterns of urban growth in us
Identify and explain to ways interstate highways system effect cities in USA
Relocation of economic activity takes place- restaurants move near the exits of the highway interstate and businesses leave the cbd and there is a urban sprawl following the intersection
Cities can be bipassed and this will cause some city to decline bc they are not near interstates
Restructuring of agriculture in late 20th cent has had important implications for rural land use and distribution on poultry is USA
List two that have increased demand of poultry
Price of chicken has remained cheap compared to beef, population is increasing so the need for cheap food increase
Chicken is more widely available because of fast food chains like chickfila
