Abstract

Von Thünen's intensity theory, or the formulation of optimum intensity of land uses, has been proposed for several economic conditions using classical, neoclassical, and general approaches. The theory may also be presented through the development of intensity curves, producing the missing spatial element of the theory. The several possible forms of the intensity curve have different relations with von Thünen's crop-theory rent curves, thus producing spatially expanding or shrinking isolated states.
