Figure 2
15
a If you were a manufacturer and want to set up a factory in the area shown in Figure 2 on
p.13, which location, A, B or C will you choose? Why?
Location C. It is because location C has a better transport network. It can be accessed
by road, railway and sea. This enables efficient import of raw materials and export of
products. In addition, it helps lower transport cost.
If you were to locate the headquarters of your manufacturing firm, which location would
you choose? Why?
Location C. It is because it has efficient infrastructure of telecommunications. This
enables efficient information exchange with branch offices and production plants.
Operation factors

a Compare with the weight of raw material, does the product lose weight or gain weight
after manufacturing processes?
It loses weight after manufacturing processes.
16
b Where will you locate the sugar mill, near the source of raw material or near the market?
Why?
I will locate the sugar mill near the source of raw material. This is because the raw
material/sugar cane is bulky and heavy. The transport cost of raw material is higher
than the product. To locate the sugar mill near the source of raw material helps save
transport cost and therefore increase profits.
c What do we call the industries that need to be located near the source of raw materials?
Raw material-oriented industries.
d Some food processing industries such as canned fruits manufacturing are also located
near the source of raw materials. Why?
They are located near the source of raw materials because fruits/the raw materials are
( perishable / non-perishable ). By locating the industries near the raw materials, it can
prevent loss.

suppliers and customers. The information collected can be provided to production plants for
improvement.
11 Why some firms place the access to a good management team the most important location
factor of all?
It is because a good management team is able to choose the ( low-cost / high-cost ) location
and formulates strategies to expand its market. This helps ( lower / raise) production costs,

It is because the raw materials and power resources are _____bulky_____ and
_____heavy______. Locate near the sources of raw material and power can help
( increase / reduce ) transport costs. In addition, transport of raw materials and power
resources to the coastal regions was difficult because transport links were ( well / poorly )
developed.

a What were the favourable location factors for Angang to be located in Liaoning?
Liaoning was rich in coal and iron ore. Being located near the sources of raw materials,
Angang can reduce transport costs.
34
b After decades of development, iron and steel production in Liaoning has become less
economical because of nearly diminished coal mines and iron ore, outdated machinery
and overburdened transport. However, Angang continues to operate in its original
location.

a Refer to Figure 1, write down how industrial development brought benefits to an area in
paragraph form.
When new industries are set up, jobs are created and people’s income will increase.
With higher income, more money can be spent in local shops and services. The local
economy starts to grow and this increases tax revenue for the local government. The
local government then have more money to improve the infrastructure. This attracts
more people to come and more new industries to set up in the area.

a If you were a manufacturer of semiconductor chips, where will you set up your
production plant in terms of economic consideration only?
Place B.
b Explain your answer in a.
The production plant not only produces useful outputs, but also harmful outputs such as
toxic materials. These harmful outputs will pollute the surrounding environment.
People in Place A may protest against the set up of the plant as their environmental
awareness is high. In addition, the pollution control is strict and this increases
production costs. In contrast, it is easier to set up the plant in Place B as
environmental awareness of the people there is low and pollution control is less strict
which can lower production costs.
