A Description of Structural Change in a Central Place System: A Speculation Using Q-Analysis
Article Abstract:
Central place theory is involved with finding explanations for the size, number and distributions of towns in an area. Traditional approaches to central place systems are based on multivariate statistical procedures. A new approach using Q-analysis is proposed. It is able to consider the behavior of consumers and producers over time. An analysis of Lincolnshire done with Q-analysis is compared to a principal components analysis. Bifurcation theory may improve the description of structural change in central place theory.
