Document Summary
This is because prices of manufactured goods have increased more rapidly over time than commodities (except for oil). Additionally, hinterlands are subject to boom and bust cycles (rapid increases and decreases in economic activity). This is a key element in the core/periphery model: however, the super cycle theory states that the above price relationship will reverse. Sense of place: a sense of place involves a psychological bond between people and their location. These stem from the physical landscape of the area, human activities, and institutional bodies. A sense of place is associated with the "local roots" of an area. In atlantic canada, the sea/fishery exerts a powerful influence upon this region. When the cod fishery crashed in the 90s, the small fishing communities in the area had to find a way to cope. In the prairies, harsh climate conditions have impacted agriculture, and thus life on the prairies.
