The purpose of the study is to show that only predetermined industrial location within a regional framework will assist the developing countries to achieve their industrialization goals. The study of this regional approach to industrial location in the developing countries is undertaken because it is felt that location of industries is one of the problems of the industrialization process in the developing countries, and that there is a need for an approach which the developing countries can use to achieve their industrialization goals of full employment, higher income per capita, and earning or saving foreign exchange. In order to investigate this regional approach to industrial location, it is necessary to make some preliminary considerations of the various concepts involved. The term 'the developing countries' is defined, and the role of industrialization in economic development of these countries is indicated. Location of industries is shown as one of the problems of industrialization, and methods of analyzing the problem of industrial location are examined. The importance of the concept of predetermined industrial location within a regional framework necessitates a review of the concept and its application in Puerto Rico. These preliminary considerations form the basis of the appreciation of the problems of industrial location, which the developing countries must consider in their national industrial development policies. These problems are: the selection of industries and of industrial locations, and the provision of the facilities necessary to support industrial locations. The consideration of the problems of industrial location provides an opportunity for relating the regional approach to industrial location to the case study area, namely, the Accra Plains in Ghana. In this regard, Ghana's national industrialization goals are identified; the settlement pattern, the economy and the resources of the region are examined to show the extent to which industries could be developed to achieve the national industrialization goals. A regional plan prepared for this region is also evaluated. It is observed that the planning consultants recommended industrial concentration only in four large urban centres in Ghana with complete disregard for the smaller urban centres and the rural areas, and that the implementation of such a recommendation would tend to widen further the existing gap between the living standards of the people in these large urban areas and the rest of the country. Only these four centres were selected as points of industrial concentration because industrial location was predetermined within a national framework. It is concluded that only predetermined industrial location within a regional framework will assist Ghana to achieve her industrialization goals, since the use of such an approach would enable the country to examine the resources and the needs of all the urban and the rural areas. It is emphasized that although the regional approach to industrial location will assist the developing countries to achieve their industrialization goals, nevertheless this approach must take cognizance of the national development goals and be related to local economic, social, and physical conditions. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

The main purpose of this thesis was to analyze industrial location factors and their influence on the industrial development of a particular area. The first half of the thesis contained a review of the literature on the location of industry followed by an analysis of some of the basic industrial location factors which have been instrumental in the location and development of American industries. In the second half of the thesis an attempt was made to relate these findings to the situation in Indonesia, and to evaluate any correlation or disparity which may exist. It was found that in general the same industrial location factors would apply in both cases, but that their relative importance would vary. This could be explained partly by the difference in the form of government of both countries, and partly by the difference in the stage of industrialization. Other factors such as the nature of the people was also important. Indonesia's industrial location factors were then considered with respect to their potentialities to aid in the industrial development. It was found that Indonesia's natural resources could provide a basis for this development, but that much would still be required to transform them into usable resources. Indonesia lacks many basic facilities. It has little technical and managerial skill and meagre capital, all of which limit industrial growth. This situation is aggravated by the presence of some of the more fundamental economic problems, such as the problem of population, the problem of low income, and also the problem of low productivity. A solution to these problems must be found before Indonesia can begin to develop industrially. / Business, Sauder School of / Graduate
