concentric zone theory, sector theory and multiple nuclei theory
Answers
Answer:
The Concentric, Sector models and multiple nuclei models have many features in
common:
1) Both models focus on importance of accessibility. The centrally located C.B.D. is the
most accessible and its land value or rent-bid is the highest.
2) Distance decay theory is applicable in both models. Land value and population
density decline with distance from the central places.
3) There are clear-cut and abrupt boundaries between the land-use zones.
4) Both concern the study of ground-floor functions instead of the three-dimensional
study as height of buildings is neglected
5) Residential segregation
ExplanDifference among Concentric and Sector models
1) concentric model with circular pattern of land use zones; while sector model with
sectoral pattern of land use zones
2) land use zones in sector model developed along transport routes radiating out from
CBD; while concentric model never mention the transport development
3) sector model emphasizes the repelling forces of land uses; but concentric model
concerns the invasion, succession forces on the pattern of the land use
D. Difference among Concentric, Sector and Multiple nuclei models
1) monocentric – concentric, sector model; polycentric – multiple nuclei
2) multiple nuclei more complex in term of land use zones, e.g. industrial suburbs
3) multiple nuclei allows the suburbanization, transport development, outward growth of
city
4) multiple nuclei model gives the idea of land use pattern of a city onlyation:
