Population Redistribution and Changes in the Size-Density Slope
As regional population density increases territorial units tend to subdivide. For maximum societal time-efficiency the slope relating the logarithms of unit areas to those of unit densities should be −2/3. When boundaries become fixed, however, observed slopes tend to drift toward a value of zero. It was earlier hypothesized that such slope-erosion was due to increasing concentration of the population. Historical data for the primary political di…
Statistical and Historical Analyses of Nations Which Deviate From the Size-Density Law
We examine nations which deviate significantly from the −2/3 sizedensity slope previously observed for the aggregated political subdivisions of 98 modern nations and previously derived from the theory of timeminimization. We correct Stephan’s original list of deviant nations, demonstrate that all slopes more negative than −2/3 were due to the erroneous inclusion of cities in the original data sets, develop a theory to account for the less negativ…
Religion and the Survival of Utopian Communities
7he present paper reports on one aspect of a research project which we began several years ago on the longevity of utopian communities in nineteenth-century America. Our principal question was: what factors affect the chances for survival of communes? As will be indicated below, an exploratory study revealed that the question, as asked, could not be answered systematically given the nature of the data. However, the exploratory study did suggest o…
