Discussion
Given below are two statements, one laballed as Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R). Select your answer from the codes given below :
Assertion (A) : Losch's model is less restrictive than Christoller's.
Reason (R) : Losch treated each function as having a separate range, threshold and hexagonal hinterland.
Codes :
Answer: A
Both statements are true and the Reason explains the Assertion. Losch's model is less restrictive than Christaller's because he treated each function as having its own range, threshold and hexagonal market area, instead of fixing all functions into one hierarchy of centres.
That separate treatment of every function is exactly what gives Losch's model its greater flexibility, so (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Christaller's model fixes a single hierarchy of centres in a rigid pattern with all functions of the same level at the same place, and Losch dropped that restriction by allowing each product to have its own market area.
