Question

The von Thunen and Burgess models of land use both assume that __________.

Answer 1

Von Thunen's model:
-rent/land value will decrease the further one gets away from central market
-rent increases as proximity to urban market increases
-intensive agriculture is closer to urban markets
-extensive is farther away
Burgess COncentric Zone model:
-describes urban environments as a series of rings of distinct land uses radiating out from the CBD.
-explains North American urban growth patterns
-best example: Chicago


Not sure what your options are, but I remember doing this similar question from Human Geography. Both assume that intensive agriculture occurs closest to urban markets, and that every urban area has a center market or CBD, with units radiating out.
