| Popis: | T HE objectives of this paper are: (1) to discuss briefly the justification for stemming or reversing the out-migration flow from rural areas through development of new cities: (2) to relate some basic concepts of growth pole theory to the development of a new city; (3) to establish the assumptions for development of a new city and select nine industries as its initial development base; and (4) to utilize an inputoutput model to analyze the impact of this new base on final demand, output, employment, population, and income. The study area was the 54-county area of southern Kansas in the Arkansas River Drainage Basin. With the likelihood that sometime in the future navigation will be extended into Kansas, a hypothetical city, Port Fabs, was selected as a new growth center. This city actually would be developed around or near one of three existing small towns-Winfield, Arkansas City, or Coffeyville. All three of these cities qualify as a growth pole or center as defined by Perroux, Fox, Berry, and others. Both federal and state inducements |
