Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Christaller's central place theory is based on the assumption of an isotropic (uniform) landscape, primarily focusing on the distribution of services and goods in relation to population centers. It works better in agricultural regions where the land use and economic activities are more uniform and predictable, unlike mining regions where the distribution of towns is more influenced by the location of natural resources than by the principles of central place theory.
