Industry

Students should demonstrate comprehension of an industrial system, including its inputs, processes, and outputs (products and waste). They should describe and clarify the factors that affect the distribution and location of factories and industrial zones, such as land, labor, raw materials, fuel and power, transportation, markets, and political influences. Additionally, they should understand how these factors collectively impact the location, scale of production, organizational methods, and the products of the industrial system. A case study of an industrial zone or factory is required to illustrate locational and siting factors.
