Model of agricultural land use was made by?
Von Thunen (1826)
Also known as The Burgess Model, The Bull’s Eye Model; Developed in the 1920’s by the urban sociologist _____. (2)
Concentric Zone model, Ernest Burgess.
The model portrays how cities social groups are spatially arranged in a series of rings. The size of the rings may vary, but the order
always remains the same.
Concentric Zone model
Explain: Concentric Zone model
CBD- Zone of Transition- Zone of independednt workers’ homes- zone of better residences- commuter zone
This area of the
city is a non-residential area and it’s where
businesses are. This area s called downtown ,a
lot of sky scrapers houses government
institutions, businesses, stadiums, and
restaurants
Central Business District (CBD)
the zone of transition
contains industry and has poorer-quality housing
available.Created by subdividing larger houses
into apartments
Zone of Transition-
This area contains
modest older houses occupied by stable, working
class families. A large percentage of the people in
this area rent.
Zone of the working class-
This zone contains
newer and more spacious houses. Mostly families
in the middle-class live in this zone.
Zone of better residence-
This area is located
beyond the build-up area of the city. Mostly upper
class residents live in this
5.Commuter’s Zone/Suburbs-
Shortcomings of the concentric zone model
- It assumes an isotropic
plain - land may restrict growth
of certain sectors - The model does not fit
polycentric cities - It describes the peculiar
American geography,
where the inner city is
poor while suburbs are
wealthy; the converse is
the norm elsewhere.
Who redefined the concentric zone model (1965)
Peter Mann
Explain: Homer Hoyt’s sector model
CBD- Transportation and industry- Low class- Middle class- High class
Developed in 1939 by land economist Homer Hoyt
Sector model
Social groups are arranged around a series of
sectors, or wedges radiating out from the central
business district (CBD) and centred on major
transportation lines,
Sector model
low-income households to be near railroad lines,
and commercial establishments to be along
business thoroughfares
Sector model
Travel time is prioritized; Commercial development follows transport routes; major roads radiate from center; based on hommer hoyt’s sector model
Axial Model
