Aproximación al sistema de lugares centrales de la provincia de León

Abstract

In this paper, we intend to confirm that the organization of territory in the province of Leon is made by means of a polarized hierarchical structure of the market places. In order to achieve our purpose, we analyze the population as perceivers of a rent and as the basis for demand; we also deal with commercial activities and service industries, for they are closely related to the distribution of the central-places theory, we attempt to establish the hierarchy of these activities as the basis for the functional hierarchization of market places and their areas of influence.
