Location theories: are nomothetic (tendency to generalize) not ideographic (tendency to. Rationalists believe systematic measurement and observation can reveal the underlying order of the world. = yield (price-cost) -yield (transport cost x distance) Six assumptions: (simplifying: there is only city. It is surrounded by wilderness: the land is flat, featureless w/out rivers, soil and climate are uniform, no roads good transported to. Central place theory hexagons in their ordering of settlements. Cpt refers to two similar market by the most direct route: farmers are economically rational. Optimal agricultural land uses based on transport cost to market. By solving von th nens the lands rent equation for each good, we can also create a bid-rent curve. This reveals the optimal zones of land use around the city. Replacing crops with other output helps us understand urban form. Rm: raw materials = is cost of transporting raw materials to factory. Fp: finished product= is cost of transporting finished products to market.
