Abstract

Some empirical results are presented on a development of an elementary residential location model, using concepts from both gravity and intervening opportunity models. Specifically, intervening opportunities are used as measures of costs within a gravity model framework. The model is shown to reproduce the settlement pattern for the study area reasonably well. The paper concludes with a short discussion of the application of the model in a planning context.
