A

based on the notion that distance, usually requires some amount of effort, energy time, and/or other resources to overcome.

due to the ‘friction’, spatial interactions will tend to take place more often over shorter distances; the amount and intensity of interaction will decay with distance

Q

describe what the core and periphery

A

historically the development of colonialization led to the exploitation of colonies. Raw materials were taken from the colonial masters. these countries in Europe because the core countries and the colonies became the periphery

whilst the process of decolonisation occurred during the post-war period this core-periphery modal still exists today with major cities located in Europe, Japan and the USA. therefore many “colonial” countries are still exploited although some have become semi-core.

Q

what is accessibility

A

the extent to which a location, good, service or information is available to as many people as possible

25
Q

how can accessibility be measured

A

a distance between two points measured in kilometres is not an adequate indication of the accessibility of one point from the other

instead, travel time and cost will therefore always be important measures of accessibility

A

the modification of global products and ideas to suit local conditions

34
Q

which American geographer noted that transport innovations will lead to time space convergence

A

Donald Janelle

35
Q

what are some examples of technological changes to try and decrease the time space convergence

A

development of pipelines

massive ships

refrigerated trucks

being able to transport lown value and/or perishable commodities over long distances

36
Q

describe time space convergence from a consumer perspective

A

Customers can be supplied with what they need from businesses with a comparative advantage but may be located further away, even though their competitors may be closer to the market.

previously the increase in transport costs removed the advantages that certain locations possessed in production costs and/or quality over completing places

however, this challenge has been diminishing with the time-space convergence

37
Q

what is the current phase of telecommunication

A

the internet reduces some aspects of time-space convergence to almost zero.
