The document defines and classifies different types of industries. It discusses the location factors that influence where each type of industry tends to be found. Primary industries are usually located near raw materials, while service and quaternary industries are commonly found in urban areas. Manufacturing industries consider various location factors, including access to materials, labor, transportation, and markets. Heavy industries tend to locate near materials and transportation, while light industries prioritize transportation and markets. The document also examines how the optimal location of iron and steel making has changed over time based on shifting fuel and transportation conditions.

1. Industry Revision

11. Location of the manufacturing industry (2) Is there a labour supply nearby? Is there flat land? Is there a power supply? Are there good transport facilities? We need to be near raw materials. We need to be near customers.

13. Location of Heavy Industries Near raw materials Near power supply Near cheap transport On flat land

14. Iron and steel making 1. The best location before 1800 2. The best location from 1800 to 1950 3. The best location since 1950

18. Re-cap 1800 - 1950 Before 1800 Since 1950

20. Location of light industries Near fast transport Near to market Near a labour supply Offered government aid

22. Industrial estate location Close to fast communications, especially main roads On cheap, flat land On land where expansion is possible On land where planning permission is easily obtained

24. Types of regional aid Giving grants and loans to factories that set up in the area. Building more roads to serve the area Training the local labour force in the skills required Offering low rents and rates for the first few years Providing ready-made factories with services laid on

25. Effects of new industry When a factory is built, it brings many jobs, but not just in the factory itself People are needed to build the factory The factory may need the services of local trades people and transport companies With extra jobs the population may rise, so new houses will be built. Shops and services will do more trade, because there are more people with more money to spend. The amount of traffic in the area will increase.

27. Effects of factories closing Workers lose jobs Trades people, lorry drivers all loose work People move away and find work Shops and other services suffer Whole areas becomes run-down
