Abstract
This study identifies and evaluates major independent dimensions of the locational decision of residential developers in a rapidly urbanizing region. Data were obtained from a questionnaire distributed to residential land developers operating in Geauga County, Ohio during 1977. Major independent dimensions of the locational decision were identified using factor analysis. They are cost, market location, public utilities, marketability, and land suitability. Although the results are similar to those conducted in other regions of North America, differences in the importance of some factors are evident. Among other differences, cost proved more important than marketability. These results emphasize the need for developer behavior studies in a variety of geographic contexts.
