Each successive district admits the uses of all the more restricted districts
-
Spot zoning
-
Bonus zoning
-
Non-cumulative zoning
-
Inclusionary zoning
Correct Answer
A. Non-cumulative zoningExplanation
Non-cumulative zoning is the correct answer because it allows each district to have its own specific set of regulations and restrictions. This means that as you move from one district to another, the regulations become more restrictive. This is different from cumulative zoning where each district would have the same regulations, resulting in a cumulative effect. Spot zoning refers to the practice of zoning a small area differently from the surrounding area. Bonus zoning refers to granting additional development rights in exchange for certain public benefits. Inclusionary zoning refers to requiring a certain percentage of affordable housing in new developments.Rate this question:

A special type of bar chart that shows the distribution of a population by age and sex
-
Population Pyramid
-
Population Projection
-
Population Density
-
Population Implosion
Correct Answer
A. Population PyramidExplanation
A population pyramid is a special type of bar chart that displays the distribution of a population by age and sex. It consists of two back-to-back bar graphs, one representing the male population and the other representing the female population. The horizontal axis represents the age groups, typically divided into five-year intervals, while the vertical axis represents the population size. The shape of the pyramid provides insights into the population's age structure, with wider bases indicating higher birth rates and narrower tops indicating lower life expectancies. This tool is commonly used by demographers and policymakers to analyze population trends and plan for future social and economic needs.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. NetworksExplanation
The term "networks" refers to the connections and relationships between different settlements. In this context, it implies that the links within the settlement and with other settlements are crucial for understanding and analyzing the settlement's dynamics and interactions. These networks can include physical infrastructure like roads, bridges, and communication lines, as well as social networks and economic connections. By studying these networks, researchers can gain insights into how settlements function and how they are connected to each other, which is why "networks" is the most appropriate answer in this case.Rate this question:

Urban development tends to occur along major transportation routes because.
-
Population tends to concentrate where transportation is available
-
Transportation facilities tend to service areas where there is population concentration
-
Both a and b
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Both a and bExplanation
Urban development tends to occur along major transportation routes because population tends to concentrate where transportation is available, and transportation facilities tend to service areas where there is population concentration. This means that people are more likely to settle and businesses are more likely to establish themselves in areas that are easily accessible and connected to transportation networks. As a result, major transportation routes become attractive locations for urban development, leading to the concentration of population and the provision of transportation services in these areas.Rate this question:

-
Von Thunen
-
William Alonso
-
Lowdon Wingo Jr.
-
Robert Malthus
Correct Answer
A. Von ThunenExplanation
Von Thunen is the correct answer because he postulated the theory of agricultural land use in his book "The Isolated State". According to his theory, land use diminishes as the distance from the market increases. He argued that farmers would prioritize the cultivation of perishable and high-value crops closer to the market, while less valuable and bulkier crops would be grown further away. This theory became the foundation for understanding spatial patterns of agricultural production and land use.Rate this question:
