Abstract
From the end of the sixties onwards, regional science has increasingly focussed its attention on environmental problems. Both the extent and the intensity of these environmental problems in western industrialized areas have urged regional scientists to consider environmental quality analysis as an integral part of their profession. One is increasingly becoming aware of the fact that the spatial pattern of entrepreneurial and residential locations, prevailing technology and environmental quality possess an intricate interwovenness. In certain areas and under certain prevailing technologies fresh air, clean water and a pleasant environment tend to become scarce goods. Since economics is particularly oriented towards the study of scarcity, environmental quality analysis can obviously benefit from the use of economic tools.
