Question 1

______________ cities increasingly rely on an economic structure that is based on scientific knowledge rather than industrial production and,as a result,a class of professionals and technicians grows in size and influence.

Accepted Answer

The term "postindustrial" specifically refers to an economic structure that is not based on industrial production. The growth of a class of professionals and technicians is a characteristic of postindustrial cities.

Question 2

Sociologist Ernest Burgess developed the______________,which is a description of the process of urban growth that views the city as a series of circular areas,each characterized by a different type of land use that developed from a central core.

Accepted Answer

The concentric zone model is a theory of urban growth developed by Ernest Burgess that views the city as a series of circular areas, each characterized by a different type of land use that developed from a central core. The model identifies five concentric zones, including the central business district, transitional zone, working-class zone, residential zone, and commuter zone, each of which is based on the distance from the city center and the type of land use that dominates the area.

Question 3

According to sociologists Joe Feagin and Robert Parker,______________refers to institutions such as state bureaucracies and capital investment circuits that are involved in the urban development process.

Accepted Answer

Feagin and Parker use the term "structure" to refer to the societal systems, institutions, and processes that shape and constrain urban development, including state bureaucracies and capital investment circuits.

Question 4

The______________examines urban populations in terms of economic status,family status,and ethnic classification.

Accepted Answer

Social area analysis is a research method that examines urban populations in terms of economic status, family status, and ethnic classification. The other options (sector model, multiple nuclei model, and concentric zone model) are all urban planning models that describe the spatial organization of cities.

Question 5

______________ is the process by which members of the middle and upper-middle classes,especially whites,move into the central city area and renovate existing properties.

Accepted Answer

Gentrification is the process by which members of the middle and upper-middle classes, especially whites, move into the central city area and renovate existing properties. This can lead to displacement of lower-income residents and changes in the neighborhood's character. Invasion, succession, and diffusion do not accurately describe this phenomenon.

Question 6

In Ernest Burgess's concentric zone model,the central business district is found in:

Accepted Answer

The central business district is typically found in Zone 1 of the concentric zone model. This zone typically contains the highest density of commercial activity and has the greatest accessibility to transportation systems.

Question 7

Urban ecologist Homer Hoyt's______________emphasizes the significance of terrain and the importance of transportation routes in the layout of cities.

Accepted Answer

Homer Hoyt's sector model emphasizes the significance of transportation routes and terrain in the layout of cities, suggesting that cities develop in wedge-shaped sectors rather than concentric circles.

Question 8

According to sociologists Joe Feagin and Robert Parker,______________refers to the profits that industrialists,developers,bankers,and others make from buying,selling,and developing land and buildings.

Accepted Answer

Feagin and Parker define exchange value as the profits made from buying, selling, and developing land and buildings, which matches the description given in the question. Therefore, the answer is D) exchange value. A) use value refers to the usefulness of a commodity or good, B) structure refers to the overarching patterns and organization of society and social systems, and C) agency refers to the ability of individuals and groups to act and make choices. None of these concepts specifically refer to profits made from real estate development.

Question 9

According to the______________developed by urban sociologists Chauncey Harris and Edward Ullman,cities do not have one center from which all growth radiates,but rather have numerous centers of development based on specific urban needs or activities.

Accepted Answer

The multiple nuclei model developed by urban sociologists Chauncey Harris and Edward Ullman proposes that cities develop around multiple centers of growth, each focused on a specific urban need or activity. This model contrasts with the concentric zone model, which suggests that cities have a single center from which growth radiates outwards. The sector model and social area analysis are other models used to describe the organization of cities.

Question 10

An important ecological process involved in the concentric zone theory,______________,is the process by which a new category of people or type of land use gradually predominates in an area formerly dominated by another group or activity.

Accepted Answer

Succession is the process by which a new category of people or type of land use gradually predominates in an area formerly dominated by another group or activity. It is an important ecological process involved in the concentric zone theory. Diffusion refers to the spread of a cultural trait or idea from one group to another. Gentrification refers to the process of urban renewal, where wealthier individuals move into a previously low-income area and invest in upgrading the neighborhood. Invasion refers to the movement of individuals or groups into an area with the intent to dominate or control it.

Question 11

A______________refers to one or more central cities and their surrounding suburbs that dominate the economic and cultural life of a region.

Accepted Answer

The term "metropolis" specifically refers to a large urban area that serves as the central hub for economic, cultural, and social activity in a region. Megalopolis refers to a chain of interconnected metropolitan areas, while a conglomeration is a collection of different companies or organizations working together. A census district refers to a geographic area used for statistical purposes during a census.

Question 12

An important ecological process involved in the concentric zone theory,______________,is the process by which a new category of people or type of land use arrives in an area previously occupied by another group or land use.

Accepted Answer

In the concentric zone theory, "invasion" refers to the process where a new group or type of land use enters an area previously occupied by another, often leading to changes in the area's social and economic structure.

Question 13

According to sociologists Joe Feagin and Robert Parker,three major themes prevail in political economy models of urban growth.Which of the following is NOT one of these?

Accepted Answer

Feagin and Parker argue that class and class conflict are important factors in understanding urban development, and therefore option D is not one of the major themes that prevail in political economy models of urban growth.

Question 14

According to sociologist Emile Durkheim,______________is characterized by a simple division of labor and shared religious beliefs such as are found in small agrarian societies.

Accepted Answer

According to Durkheim, mechanical solidarity is characterized by a simple division of labor and shared religious beliefs, which are found in small agrarian societies. This type of solidarity is based on similarity and sameness among individuals, where everyone performs similar tasks and shares the same values and beliefs.

Question 15

According to sociologist Emile Durkheim,______________is characterized by interdependence based on the elaborate division of labor found in large,urban societies.

Accepted Answer

According to Durkheim, organic solidarity is characterized by interdependence based on the elaborate division of labor found in large, urban societies. This type of solidarity is based on the specialization of labor and the reliance on others for goods and services, as opposed to mechanical solidarity, which is characterized by a simple division of labor and a strong sense of community cohesion. Ecological and technological solidarity are not concepts discussed by Durkheim in his sociological theories.

Question 16

Sociologist Robert Park based his analysis of the city on______________,which is the study of the relationship between people and their physical environment.

Accepted Answer

Robert Park based his analysis of the city on human ecology, which is the study of the relationship between people and their physical environment.

Question 17

According to sociologists Joe Feagin and Robert Parker,______________is the utility of space,land,and buildings for everyday life,family life,and neighborhood life.

Accepted Answer

Use value refers to the usefulness or utility of something for everyday life, family life, and neighborhood life. This concept is often used in sociology and urban studies to analyze the ways in which people use and value spaces and buildings in their daily lives. Feagin and Parker are sociologists who have written about the importance of use value in understanding social and economic relations in urban environments. Choices B, C, and D are not directly related to the concept of use value.

Question 18

According to sociologists Joe Feagin and Robert Parker,______________include(s)capitalistic investments in production,workers,workplaces,land,and buildings.

Accepted Answer

The given options suggest that the text is referring to some aspect of the economy. Of the options, only A) economic factors fits the description of capitalistic investments in production, workers, workplaces, land, and buildings. The other options are either too broad or not directly related to economic investments.

Question 19

According to sociologists Joe Feagin and Robert Parker,______________include(s)governmental protection of the right to own and dispose of privately held property as owners see fit,and the role of government officials in promoting the interests of business elites and large corporations.

Accepted Answer

The statement describes political factors, specifically the role of government in protecting the interests of business elites and corporations. Economic factors refer to broader economic conditions and trends, while structure and agency are sociological concepts related to the ways in which individuals and social systems interact.

Question 20

In Ernest Burgess's concentric zone model,the working­class residences and shops and ethnic enclaves are found in:

Accepted Answer

The answer of In Ernest Burgess's concentric zone model,the working­class...
