    Question



    Identify the WRONG statements with reference to Losch’s central place theory.
    A. It is suitable for distribution of central places with sparse distribution of settlements.
    B. It is suitable for understanding the economic change in densely populated regions.
    C. It assumes the coexistence of a large number of ‘K’ factor values and hierarchies.
    D. It is more valid for tertiary services than secondary activities.0
    Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

    A.

    A, B and D only

    B.

    B, C and D only

    C.

    A, C and D only

    D.

    A and D only

    Correct option is D


    It is suitable for distribution of central places with sparse distribution of settlements: Incorrect. Losch’s central place theory is better suited for densely populated areas with more frequent interactions and economic activities, not sparse distributions.
    It is more valid for tertiary services than secondary activities: Incorrect. Losch’s theory applies to both secondary (manufacturing) and tertiary (services) activities, not just tertiary services. 
    Information Booster:
    · Losch's central place theory is an economic-geographical model that expands on Christaller's theory by focusing on optimal location for economic activities and considers multiple central places at various scales.
    · K factor refers to different levels of central places and their services, with K=3, K=4, K=7 commonly used to represent varying degrees of influence and service areas.
    Additional Knowledge:
    It is suitable for understanding the economic change in densely populated regions: Correct. Losch's theory is indeed more appropriate for densely populated regions where economic activities and central places are closely interlinked.
    It assumes the coexistence of a large number of ‘K’ factor values and hierarchies: Correct. The theory allows for the existence of multiple hierarchies or ‘K’ values, which represent different levels of central places and their surrounding market areas.
