Central Place Analysis

Central Place Analysis is a geographic model that identifies and explains the spatial distribution of human settlements and their hierarchies by analyzing the economic and functional relationships between central places and their surrounding regions, distinguishing it from other spatial models through its focus on market principles, threshold, and range in the organization of urban centers.
