Slope
and Land Use
Slope
● Slope is essentially the gradient or incline of the
land. A steep slope refers to a sharp incline; a gentle
slope to a slight incline.
72
Slope
● slope is defined as “the rise over the run ” (or the ● To express slope as percent slope, simply
rise divided by the run), in which rise equals multiply the slope fraction by 100.

It is the term used to describe the human use of land. It represents the
economic and cultural activities (e.g., agricultural, residential, industrial, ?
mining, and recreational uses) that are practiced at a given place. Public and

Land use
Answer
75
Land Use
● Land use is the exploitation of land and its resources, that is, the managing and modifying of natural or
urban environments for the benefit of humans.
76
Slope and Land Use
● Soil as a fundamental natural resource performs key ● Generally, slope class of 18-15%, 15-25%, 25-40%
environmental, economic and social functions. are assumed as a vulnerable areas for erosion.
Hence, these classes must have special attention
and treatment.
77
Slope and Land Use
● steep slope is assumed as a trigger of erosion. The
steep slope will increase the number and speed of
runoff so that erosion will be accelerated due to
more transported and dissolved materials.

● >10% - can be actively used only for
hill sports or free play
● 17% - approaches the limit that an
ordinary loaded vehicle can climb,
for any sustained period
● 20% -25% - normal limit of climb for
pedestrians without resorting to
stairs

Concetric Zone Theory
● CONCENTRIC ZONE THEORY (Monocentric) – E. W.
Burgess The city grows in a radial expansion from
the center to form a series of concentric zones or
circles such as in Chicago. As the city grows, each
ring invades and overtakes the next ring out – a
process called Invasion/ Succession (thus,
Concentric Theory is sometimes referred to as
Invasion/ Succession Theory”).
83
Concentric Zone Theory
84
Sector Theory
● SECTOR THEORY – Homer Hoyt High-density residential, commercial, and industrial uses radiate out from the
central business district (CBD) in “sectors” that follow major transportation routes. More expensive housing also
radiates out from the CBD – Towards large open spaces and higher ground. Less expensive housing takes whatever
land is left over.
85
Multiple Nuclei Theory
● MULTIPLE NUCLEI THEORY (Polycentric) – Chauncy
Harris and – Edward Ullman “The Nature of Cities”
Cities tend to grow around not one but several
distinct nuclei. Certain land uses group together to
take advantage of unique facilities (e.g.
universities), specializations, codependencies, or
externalities. This theory is often applied to cities
with more than one CBD

Multiple Nuclei Theory

Central Place Theory
● CENTRAL PLACE THEORY – Walter Christaller
(Developed) – Paul Peterson (Advanced in “City
Limits”) It explains the reasons behind the
distribution patterns, size, and number of cities and
towns
● Tested in Southern Germany and came to the
conclusion that people gather together in cities to
share goods and ideas.
