F.5 GCE AS Geography - Unit 6.3a - Plenary

How do we call the division of urban areas into zones or regions based on their specific functions or activities?

(a)  

Regarding the concentric model proposed by Hoyt, reorder the following zones based on the theory from the innermost zone to the most outermost zone.

• Middle-Class Housing (Outer Suburbs)

• Commuter Zone (Outer Ring)

• Working-Class Housing (Inner Suburbs)

• Central Business District (CBD)

• Zone of Transition

In the Sector Model, which of the following is typically found in the outer sectors?

• High-income residential areas

• Industrial zones

• Low-income housing

• Central business district

The Sector Model suggests that cities develop in sectors or wedges radiating out from the city center along _________ _________.

(a)  

In the Sector Model, which zone is located along major transport routes for easy access?

• CBD

• Industrial Zone

• Low-Income Residential Zone

• High-Income Residential Zone

Which zone surrounds the low-income sector and stretches outward in the Sector Model?

• CBD

• Industrial Zone

• Middle-Income Residential Zone

• High-Income Residential Zone

In the Sector Model, the High-Income Residential Zone extends outward in sectors with what features?

• Good amenities and transportation

• Proximity to factories

• High population density

• Low cost of living.

The urbanization rate in HICs was ______ and planned, but the rates in MICs and LICs are rapid and unplanned.

• slow

• gradual

• fast

• immediate

The Multi Nuclei Theory proposed by Harris and Ullman is only applicable to HICs because...

• The model was developed in the US.

• Transportation is not developed in LICs and MICs but developed in HICs.

• The rate of urbanization in HICs is high.

• The urban planning in HICs is hugely influenced by government policies and zoning.

In functional zonation in Urban Geography, cities are divided into different sections or parts. However, other factors may influence and affect the planning of cities.

Which of the following are possible other causes?

• Physical barriers, e.g., mountain ranges

• Cultural influences, e.g., churches

• Social issues, e.g., urban renewal projects and gentrification

• Government policies such as zoning
