Question

When Alfred Weber published his book Theory of the Location of Industries (1909), what did he select as the critical determinant of regional industrial location?

Answer 1

Transportation costs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alfred Weber lamented in his theory that the industries would set up where the least cost of transportation of raw material and finished goods would incur.

• He determined transportation costs on the basis of the difference of weight of raw material coming in and final product going out. And the proximity to the source of raw material.
