Abstract :

In many parts of world, especially the lesser developed countries, the basis notions ofcentral place theory may have much wider application, because in many small villages,consumer normally supply, with goods and services from permenent central places.Therefore to find of these places position is very important in the rural planning. In thispaper two methods for this problem has been discussed.The Scatter diagram is obtained by plotting the points (x,y) on a rectangular co-ordinetsystem as shown in fig.1. The regression line of y on x is given by y=45.70-0.44xi andx on y is given byx=-15.37+0.92y.The two east Squer lines intersect at point x`, y`, which it is theposition of central place.The local influence range is given from formulaand the over local influence range is obtained from second formula .
