Abstract
(This article is the first of a group of four which, as a part of the broader series on the urban base, will be concerned with what might be termed the of the base concept. These technical aspects center, principally, around the process of applying the base concept to a particular community or problem situation. Specifically, the articles will be concerned with a discussion of the techniques and difficulties which arise in (1) measuring the base, (2) identifying the basic elements of an urban economy once a unit or technique of measurement has been selected, (3) appraising the special problems of base identification that do not respond to the more general techniques discussed in the previous article, and (4) delimiting the geographical area in which the basic activities perform their characteristic function of exporting goods, services, and capital.)
