Question 1

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 Chauncey Harris and Edward Ullman, suggests that cities have various centers of development based on specific urban needs or activities, rather than a single center from which all growth radiates. This model acknowledges the diversity of activities and functions within a city and how they can lead to the emergence of multiple centers of growth.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Feagin and Parker are discussing investments in production, workers, workplaces, land, and buildings, which are all economic factors. Choices B, C, and D are not relevant to the discussion given.

Question 3

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 practical and functional value of a space, land, or building for everyday life, family life, and neighborhood life. It is different from exchange value, which refers to the monetary value of a property in the market. Structure and agency are broader sociological concepts that are not directly related to the utility of space.

Question 4

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 description provided in the question matches Burgess' Concentric Zone Model, in which the city is viewed as a series of concentric circles with different land uses, all originating from a central core. The other three models (Sector Model, Multiple Nuclei Model, and Social Area Analysis) each have different interpretations of urban growth and do not fit the description given.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

The central business district (CBD) is located in the first zone of the concentric zone model. This zone is characterized by intense land use and high population density, with a mix of commercial, industrial, and residential land uses. The CBD is typically a hub for business and commerce, with the highest land values and tallest buildings in the city.

Question 6

According to sociologist Lynn M.Appleton,different kinds of cities have different __________,which are prevailing ideologies of how women and men should think,feel,and act; how access to social positions and control of resources should be managed; and how relationships between men and women should be conducted.

Accepted Answer

The concept described in the question is that of gender regimes, which refer to the prevailing ideologies and social arrangements related to gender in a particular city or society. Option A, developmental histories, might influence the formation of gender regimes, but it is not the same concept. Options C and D, public patriarchies and gender management systems, are not commonly used terms in sociology and do not accurately reflect the concept described.

Question 7

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 sentence specifically mentions "governmental protection" and "the role of government officials," indicating that political factors are being discussed. Economic factors refer more broadly to the functioning of the economy, while structure and agency are more general sociological concepts that do not specifically relate to governmental protection and promotion of business interests.

Question 8

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 describe the institutions involved in urban development, such as state bureaucracies and capital investment circuits. "Use value" and "exchange value" are concepts related to economic exchange, while "agency" refers to individuals and groups who have the ability to act and make decisions.

Question 9

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

The correct process involved in the concentric zone theory, according to the given definition, is succession. Succession refers to the gradual replacement of one type of community by another over time, which is a natural ecological process. In the concentric zone theory, this process explains how different groups and land uses occupy different zones within a city, as one group or activity expands and replaces another in a particular area over time. Diffusion refers to the spread of ideas or innovations from one place to another, while gentrification and invasion refer to specific types of social or economic changes that can occur in urban areas, but are not directly related to ecological succession.

Question 10

The __________ examines urban populations in terms of economic status,family status,and ethnic classification.

Accepted Answer

Social area analysis examines and categorizes urban populations based on economic status, family status, and ethnic classification. The other models listed, including the sector model, multiple nuclei model, and concentric zone model, do not specifically focus on these demographic characteristics.

Question 11

__________ 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 a process where middle and upper-middle-class individuals, often white, move into the central city area and improve or renovate existing properties. This leads to an increase in property values and a change in the character of the neighborhood. The process is often seen as positive for the area as it can lead to increased economic development and the revitalization of previously neglected areas, but it can also have negative consequences for long-time residents who may be pushed out due to rising costs.

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

The answer of An important ecological process involved in the...

Question 13

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

The profits made by industrialists, developers, bankers, and others from buying, selling, and developing land and buildings refer to the exchange value of the property. Use value refers to the usefulness of the property, structure refers to the organization and arrangement of parts, and agency refers to the ability of individuals or groups to act and make choices.

Question 19

According to sociologists Joe Feagin and Robert Parker,__________ refers to the human actors,including developers,business elites,and activists protesting development,who are involved in decisions about land use.

Accepted Answer

Agency refers to the ability of individuals and groups to act independently and make choices within a given social structure. In the context of land use decisions, agency would refer to the various actors who influence and participate in the decision-making process.

Question 20

__________ refers to the tendency of some neighborhoods,cities,or regions to grow and prosper while others stagnate and decline.

Accepted Answer

Uneven development refers to the unequal growth and development across regions or neighborhoods. It can be influenced by various factors such as economic conditions, political decisions, social norms, and historical legacies. This can lead to disparities in income, infrastructure, education, and opportunities for residents living in different areas.
