Economic GeographyHow is land allocated among
the many human activities competing for it?
Is there any predictable/logical pattern that emerges due to this competition?
Land Use Theory
limited supply of land
competition for control of particular parcels
rural land use theory (19th century)
urban land use theory (20th century)
both are closely related
challenges the same, but urban is vastly more complicated
Evolution of Land Use Theory
What determines how land is used?
Rural - what type of primary activities is land used for?
Urban - commercial, residential, transportation, wholesaling, retail, warehousing, manufacturing, recreation, etc......
Suburban?
How much land is available/needed for a
particular use?
Economic Space of Land
Quality - site characteristics
Location - its utility in relationship to other activities
Functional Accessibility of Land
Measured in terms of cost, time, and effort to reach a given spot.
Functional accessibility is subject
to change!transportation innovations
population growth (traffic congestion)
government policies
culture?
Economic location varies in importance with the type of
activity.
Location of Private Golf Courses
Sometimes quality and location are at odds with each other.
Central Valley of California
extensive - large quantities of land are required relative to labor and capital expenses
intensive - little land is used with increased costs for labor and capital expenses
Extensive vs. Intensive
Bid-Rent TheoryThe price and demand for land changes with distance from the CBD.
Different land uses will compete for desirable pieces of property in order to maximize profits.
Accessibility increases the potential for more customers.
There is a trade-off between accessibility and cost of land.
ties together rural and urban land use principles
