Who among the following propounded the concept of rural-urban fringe ?
Answer: A
The key gives Pryor, R.J.
The term rural-urban fringe was used earlier by the sociologist T.L. Smith, but it was R.J. Pryor who, in his 1968 paper 'Defining the rural-urban fringe', set out the concept systematically: a zone of mixed land use between the continuously built-up city and the rural hinterland, with a lower density of occupied dwellings and a mixed population. Geography textbooks follow his definition.
R.E. Pahl studied commuter villages in the metropolitan fringe, Homer Hoyt proposed the sector model of urban land use, and Jean Gottmann the idea of megalopolis.
