Urban Economics Vs Social Sciences (ECN. 261: Question 1)—-Tues.15/8/2017

Urban Economics is the study of the allocation of scarce resources, and as all economic phenomena take place within a geographical space, urban economics focuses on the allocation of resources across space in relation to urban areas. Other branches of economics ignore the spatial aspects of decision making but urban economics focuses not only on the location decisions of firms, but also of cities themselves as cities themselves represent centers of economic activity. Urban economics is rooted in the location theories of von Thünen that began the process of spatial economic analysis
Social science: these are the aspect of academic discipline that deals the society and the relationship between then.they include; sociology, anthropology, geography, economics, religion etc. but I want to use Geography as a case study.
Geographers attempt to understand the Earth in terms of physical and spatial relationships. The first geographers focused on the science of mapmaking and finding ways to precisely project the surface of the earth. In this sense, geography bridges some gaps between the natural sciences and social sciences. Historical geographyis often taught in a college in a unified Department of Geography.Geography as a discipline can be split broadly into two main sub fields: human geography and physical geography. The former focuses largely on the built environment and how space is created, viewed and managed by humans as well as the influence humans have on the space they occupy. This may involve cultural geography, transportation, health, military operations, and cities. The latter examines the natural environment and how the climate, vegetation and life, soil, oceans, water and landforms are produced and interact. Physical geography examines phenomena related to the measurement of earth. As a result of the two subfields using different approaches a third field has emerged, which is environmental geography. Environmental geography combines physical and human geography

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN URBAN ECONOMICS AND OTHER SOCIAL SCIENCE
Urban economics is the economic study of urban areas; comprising the use tools of economics to analyze urban issues such as crime, education, public transit, housing, and local government finance, there is still the need to embrace the study of social environment in order to effective harness and manage these urban resources well for mans’ maximum utilization. Social science is a major category of academic disciplines, concerned with society and the relationships among individuals within a society. It in turn has many branches, each of which is considered a "social science". The social sciences include economics, political science, human geography, demography, psychology, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, jurisprudence, history, and linguistics. The term is also sometimes used to refer specifically to the field of sociology, the original 'science of society', established in the 19th century.they are related in the sense that urban economics and other social sciences all have in common the aim of studying the society, although urban economics studies a subset of the society which is the urban settlements.

Urban economics is a sub-field of economics that refers to the economic analysis of cities, and touches on a broad range of topics, such as housing, transportation, land use, the cost and benefit of cities and urbanization, or the provision of local public goods like education. In recent times, Promising efforts are now being made to establish the position of a social planner as a full-status member of physical development teams along with the architect, economist, engineer and geographer. In everyday practice, experts are becoming increasingly aware and accepting more readily that the several types of space—such as perceptual, social, economic and physical are indeed interdependent, and that successful urban planning requires that all of them be concertedly taken into account. Although a distinct planning specialization with its o w n methodology, framework and vocabulary now appears to evolve around' various approaches to development (such as social, economic, technological, political or spatial), there is an increasing awareness among practitioners that in planning urban growth these approaches to development Most physical planners in the recent past had to be convinced that a limited specialization viewpoint no longer sufficed to meet the challenge to create an urban environment appropriate for human and social development and that a social scientist could prove an effective, realistic and full status team member

QUESTION: ARE THERE SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN URBAN ECONOMICS AND OTHER SOCIAL SCIENCES?
ANSWER:
Urban economics can be defined as the study of economic activity and economic growths in cities. It uses analytical models to understand what makes cities thrive in decline, how housing values are formed. Social sciences are academic disciplines that examine society and how people interact and develop as a culture. Considering the explanation, we will find out that both of them are discussing the same issue. Therefore, the above explanation tells us that urban economics and social science are related to each other. We examine geography as an example of social science to compare it with urban Economics, geography is the study of countries, mountain, cities, the geography of a building, city, the way all the parts are arranged, then urban Economics the study of economics activity and economic growths in cities, both of hem involves economic activity for economic growth. If we take other social sciences one by one, they are related to urban Economics just as geography. We therefore, conclude that urban economics is related to social sciences.

URBAN ECONOMICS AND OTHER SOCIAL SCIENCES?
Urban economics is a subfield of economics that refers to the economic analysis of cities, and touches on a broad range of topics, such as housing, transportation land use, cost & benefit of cities and urbanization, or the provision of local public goods like education. Urban economic emphasizes; the spatial arrangement’s of households, firms, and capital in metropolitan areas; the externalities which arise from the proximity of households and land uses; the public policy issues which arise from the interplay of these economic forces.
According to Wikipedia definition, it is broadly the economic study of urban areas; as such, it involves using the tools of economic to analyze urban issues such as crime, education, public transit, housing and local government finance. It is a branch of microeconomics that studies spatial structure and the location of households and firms.
Social science is a study of how groups of people behave, often in an effort to predict how they will behave in the future. It includes economics, anthropology, sociology, political science, and aspect of psychology and history. Is a science of field of study as history, economics, etc. dealing with an aspect of society or form of social activities. It can also define as the branch of science that deals with the institutions and with the interpersonal relations of individuals as members of society.
Microeconomics is a branch of economics that studies the behaviour of individuals and firms in making decisions regarding the allocation of scarce resources and the interactions among these individuals and firms.

Urban economics is that aspect of economics that looks at the spatial relationship between individuals and organisation, in this view in trying to interrelate Urban economic and other social sciences. Economic is a social science that studies human behaviour and how to maximize scarce resources, political science is a social science that studies human, how they behave in the political aspect of an economy and how the ruler make policy on those they govern in the economy. Psychology in the other hand is a social science that studies human behaviour, that is their emotional mind and physical processes. Sociology is also a social science that deals with the science of the society and the interaction of human beings. Geography is equally a social science that studies the geographical structure and the climate condition of the north surface in which human in habit. Looking at all these points highlighted you can see that both urban economics and other social sciences are not far from each other, this is because the society at large are characterized by human inhabitant that revolves around the space of the earth. In which every breach are connected to each other, that is every part can not do without the other in achieving their aims and objectives with the global world.

Economics is a social science which deals with human wants and their satisfaction. It is related to other social sciences like sociology, politics, history, ethics, jurisprudence and psychology. For example, the economic development of a nation depends not only on economic factors but also on historical, political and sociological factors. Our country did not have much of economic progress during the British rule owing to historical reasons. Again, we had slow but steady economic growth in our country because of political instability. But in many other countries, there was no steady growth because of political instability. If there is one government today and another government tomorrow, there will not be economic development in that country.
Urban economics is broadly the economic study of urban areas; as such, it involves using the tools of economics to analyze urban issues such as crime, education, public transit, housing, and local government finance. More narrowly, it is a branch of microeconomics that studies urban spatial structure and the location of households and firms.
Sociology on the other hand is the scientific study of the society. The society consists of man and his environment, cultural activities. Urban areas are characterized by infrastructural development such as road, electricity, water, school. It is therefore pertinent to say that sociology encompasses urban areas since people move from rural to urban society. Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental process of man. Geography as a social science study the wide spread of man's environment and the spatial relationship between societies. Geography uses geographical information system to access the spatial statistical measures which account for distribution of space in urban areas. All social sciences has it relationship as they all focus on man's existence and profer solution to man's economic, sociological, political, psychological and geographical problems.

OTraditional economic vs political economic
Traditional economy is an original economic system in which traditions, customs, and beliefs help shape the goods and the services the economy produces, as well as the rules and manner of their distribution. Countries that use this type of economic system are often rural and farm-based. Also known as a subsistence economy, a traditional economy is defined by bartering[citation needed][dubious ] and trading. Little surplus is produced[citation needed], and if any excess goods are made, they are typically given to a ruling authority or landowner.

A pure traditional economy has had no changes in how it operates (there are few of these today). Examples of traditional economies include those of the Inuit or those of the tea plantations in South India.[1] Traditional economies are popularly conceived of as "primitive" or "undeveloped" economic systems, having tools or techniques seen as outdated.[2] As with the notion of contemporary primitiveness and with modernity itself, the view that traditional economies are backwards is not shared by scholars in economics and anthropology.One example of a traditional or custom based economy is Haiti.

Traditional economies may be based on custom and tradition,[3] with economic decisions based on customs or beliefs of the community, family, clan, or tribe.
Political economy
Not to be confused with Economic policy.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Discours sur l'oeconomie politique, 1758
Political economy is a term used for studying production and trade, and their relations with law, custom, and government, as well as with the distribution of national income and wealth. Political economy originated in moral philosophy. It was developed in the 18th century as the study of the economies of states, or polities, hence the term political economy.

In the late 19th century, the term economics came to replace political economy, coinciding with the publication of an influential textbook by Alfred Marshall in 1890.[1] Earlier, William Stanley Jevons, a proponent of mathematical methods applied to the subject, advocated economics for brevity and with the hope of the term becoming "the recognised name of a science."[2][3]

Today, political economy, where it is not used as a synonym for economics, may refer to very different things, including Marxian analysis, applied public choice approaches emanating from the Chicago school and the Virginia school, or simply the advice given by economists to the government or public on general economic policy or on specific proposals.[3] A rapidly growing mainstream literature from the 1970s has expanded beyond the model of economic policy in which planners maximize utility of a representative individual toward examining how political forces affect the choice of economic policies, especially as to distributional conflicts and political institutions.[4] It is available as an area of study in certain colleges and universities.

Their is a significant l level of relationship when it comes to urban economics and other social sciences are. The following are some reasons.
Social science can be seen as the study of human society and of individual relationships in and to society, or any of various academic or scientific disciplines relating to such study, generally regarded as including sociology, psychology, anthropology, economics, political science, and history.
Urban economics deals with the arrangements of households, firms, and capital in metropolitan areas; the other factors which arise from the proximity of households and land uses; and the public policy issues which arise from the interplay of these economic forces.
When we look at the above definitions of both terms, we will see that they both deal with the relationship of humans with their environment. The economics environment of man is taken care of by urban economics while other social science deals with the physical and social environment of man.

Urban economic emphasizes; the spatial arrangement’s of households, firms, and capital in metropolitan areas; the externalities which arise from the proximity of households and land uses; the public policy issues which arise from the interplay of these economic forces.

It includes economics, anthropology, sociology, political science, and aspect of psychology and history. Is a science of field of study as history, economics, etc. dealing with an aspect of society or form of social activities. It can also define as the branch of science that deals with the institutions and with the interpersonal relations of individuals as members of society.
Microeconomics is a branch of economics that studies the behaviour of individuals and firms in making decisions regarding the allocation of scarce resources and the interactions among these individuals and firms.
Economics according to Lionel Robbins is defined as a science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses. It is also defined as the study of the economy, the coordination process, the effects of scarcity, the science of choice, human behaviour, human beings as to how they coordinate wants and desires, given the decision-making mechanisms, social customs, and political realities of society.
Therefore, I strongly agree that there is significant relationship between the urban economics and other social sciences because as urban economics is a branch of micro-economic and a subfield of economics while economics itself is a science that studies human behaviour and its relation is a branch of social science and both the urban economics, economics and social science focused all their attentions on the study of human behaviour and the society. That is, their major aims or goal is the study of human behaviour and the society.

The relationship between urban economics and other social science are:
Urban economics as a field of study in which we use analytical tools economics to explain the spatial and economies organization of cities and metro political area and to deal with their problems.
There are other social sciences like political science, sociology, geography, economics, etc that assist decision making and policy development of man. Political science is the breach of knowledge that deals with the state and system of government, the scientific analysis of political activities and behavior. It also the phenomenon of the state uses government to control the economics as a whole.
Sociology as a social science that study of society. Sociology consist of man his environment, use of regional and perhaps cultural that may influence the patterns and place of change in an given area. Geography as a social science that helps man to get information and access geographical or spatial statistic measured allows us to give better account for a distribution of change space and in urban area. With aid of geographical information system .history as a social science helps us in knowing the history of what happened and what is happening in the past and present world, and with the help of history we can be able to tell the story of what happened even when we not born, and we will relate it to what is happening now .even the year that a particular event happened and so.

Urban economics is a sub-field of economics that refers to the economic analysis of cities, and touches on a broad range of topics, such as housing, transportation, land use, the cost and benefit of cities and urbanization, or the provision of local public goods like education. According to the economic literature, the spatial concentration of activities generates a set of external effects. Agglomerating of persons and activities in a place not only causes an expansion of the market size, but also makes productivity gains. This relationship between space and economic activity is characterized by the urban phenomenon because cities are the cornerstones of space and play a crucial role in the development of a region. The concentration of activities in a given location generates a set of positive externalities.

Urban Economics is the study of the allocation of scarce resources, and as all economic phenomena take place within a geographical space, urban economics focuses on the allocation of resources across space in relation to urban areas. Other branches of economics ignore the spatial aspects of decision making but urban economics focuses not only on the location decisions of firms, but also of cities themselves as cities themselves represent centers of economic activity.Urban economics is rooted in the location theories of von Thünen that began the process of spatial economic analysis
Social science: these are the aspect of academic discipline that deals the society and the relationship between then.they include; sociology, anthropology, geography, economics, religion etc. but I want to use anthropology as a case study.
Anthropology is the holistic "science of man", a science of the totality of human existence. The discipline deals with the integration of different aspects of the social sciences, humanities, and human biology.. The natural sciences seek to derive general laws through reproducible and verifiable experiments. The humanities generally study local traditions, through their history, literature, music, and arts, with an emphasis on understanding particular individuals, events, or eras. The social sciences have generally attempted to develop scientific methods to understand social phenomena in a generalizable way, though usually with methods distinct from those of the natural sciences.
The anthropological social sciences often develop nuanced descriptions rather than the general laws derived in physics or chemistry, or they may explain individual cases through more general principles, as in many fields of psychology. Anthropology (like some fields of history) does not easily fit into one of these categories, and different branches of anthropology draw on one or more of these domain

Social science is a major category of academic disciplines, concerned with society and the relationships among individual with in a society. The social science, human geography demography, psychology, sociology etc.
significant relationship between urban economics and other social science are,
sociology, which is the study of human behaviour, can have a quantifiable effect on the application of urban economics in many ways. stock market pieces, for example, are often influenced much more by the perceptions of investors and share holders than by actual hard data. Understanding what drives human behaviour can lead to a better prepared economic mode, and can also mean marked can be tailored round specific pattern of behaviour.
politics and urban economics are more visibly connected, thanks to the inseparable link between the science of state and health of the country.
urban economic and history are closely related. History is a record the past events. In history we survey economic, political and social condition of people in the past. In economics, we make use of historical data to formulate economic laws.
There is connection between urban economics and ethics. While economic according to Marshall, aims at promoting material welfare, ethnics aims at promoting moral welfare. when we discuss urban economic problems, often we consider ethnical issues.
psychology has important in analysing economic problems . To deal with labour problems, we must understand industrial psychology. And a good business man must understand the psychology of buys whenever he wants to change the price of his goods.
Among other sciences, economics is related to mathematics and statistics. statistics is the science of averages. It is science of counting. Many tables and diagrams used in economics are based on statistical analyses. Mathematical method are largely used in modern economics.

2. By geography and its wide spread of geographical information system (GIS) along with its greater access to geographical and spatial statistical measures which allows us to account for the distribution of change in space and in urban areas.
3. Coming to sociology or sociologically, the information and pace of regional and cultural antecedents that may influence the pattern and pace of change in our area is also borrowed

Significance relationship between urban economics and other social sciences
Urban economics concentrates on the economics relationship and processes that contributes to the important spatial characteristics of urban and economics, especially to their size, density of settlement and structure and pattern of land use.
Also is a sub-field of economics that refers to the economic analysis of cities and touches on a broad range of topic, such as housing, transportation, land use, the cost and benefit of cities and urbanization or the provision of local public goods like education. An urban area is a human settlement with high population density and infrastructure of build environment.
Social science is a branch of science that deals with institution and functioning of human society and with the interpersonal relationships of individual as members of the society. Also as a social science the disciple often overlap with sociology, psychology, anthropology, political science, geography, economics, and public policy among others.
Social anthropology is the study of how human societies and social structure are organized and understood.

Urban economics is simply the study of urban areas.It is broadly a field of study in which we use analytical tools of economics to explain the spatial and economic organization of cities and metropolitan areas and how to deal with their special problem.It also involves using the tools of economics to analyse urban issues such as crime ,education,public transit,housing and local government finances. More narrowly, it is a branch of micro economics that studies urban spatial structure and the location of household and firm [QUIGLEY 2008]. Sociology for example as one of the social sciences endeavors to study the social life as a whole but the social life is so complex that it is impossible to isolate social problems from the whole range of human experiences without the knowledge or the application of economics which helps to allocate scarce resources to meet the needs of the societyboth in rural and urban centres. Psychology on the other hand studies only man as a behaving individual and with the knowledge of urban economics helps to rationalize and utilize scarce resources to maximize profit and minimize cost. History which is the record of the life of men and historical development of the society and such development could not have occurred without the use of analytical tools of economics to analyze the organization of cities and metropolitan areas in the society. Political science which is the a branch of social science that deals with the principles of organization and government of human society is related to urban economics because it guides in the understanding of the process and structure of government that necessities urban changes overtime .Lastly geography as the study that deals with spatial distribution of phenomenon helps the urban economist to account for the distributionof changes in space and in urban areas through the geographical information syetems(G.I.S),spartal statistical measurement

Urban economics is broadly the economic study of urban areas; as such, it involves using the tools of economics to analyze urban issues such as crime, education, public transit, housing, and local government finance. More narrowly, it is a branch of microeconomics that studies urban spatial structure and the location of households and firms, urban economics focuses on these spatial relationships to understand the economic motivations underlying the formation, functioning, and development of cities. By looking at location decisions of firms and households, the urban economist is able to address why cities develop where they do, why some cities are large and others small, what causes economic growth and decline, and how local government. Economic policy is often implemented at the urban level thus economic policy is often tied to urban policy. Urban problems and public policy tie into urban economics as the theme relates urban problems, such as poverty or crime, to economics by seeking to answer questions with economic guidance. For example, does the tendency for the poor to live close to one another make those even pourers affect urban growth?
Because urban economics is concerned with asking questions about the nature and workings of the economy of a city, models and techniques developed within the field are primarily designed to analyze phenomena that are confined within the limits of a single city.

Social science is a major category of academic disciplines, concerned with society and the relationships among individuals within a society. It in turn has many branches, each of which is considered a "social science". The social sciences include economics, political science, human geography, demography, psychology, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, jurisprudence, history, and linguistics. The term is also sometimes used to refer specifically to the field of sociology, the original 'science of society', established in the 19th century. A more detailed list of sub-disciplines within the social sciences can be found at Outline of social science.
Environmental Studies, anthropology, area studies, business studies, civics, communication studies, criminology, demography, development studies, economics, education, geography, history, industrial relations, information science, law, library science, linguistics, media studies, political science, psychology, public administration, sociology, social work, sustainable development are those things that gives significant relationship.

URBAN ECONOMICS is broadly economics study of urban area as a branch it involve using tool of economics to analyze urban issues such as crime, education ,public, transit housing, and local government finance more narrowing
Having that economics as a social science studies human behavior with relation to ends and scarce means which have alternative uses. Psychology studies mind of an individual and sociology studies the society which is made up of man and geography as well studies the description of the earth.
Having these definitions of the social science discipline, we notice that all depends on each other for the improvement of man in his environment. While urban economics as a social science focus on the tools to analyze urban issues such as crime, education, public transit, housing and local government finance. Hence it is a branch of microeconomics that studies urban spatial structure and the location of household and firms.
URBAN ECONOMICS is broadly economics study of urban area as a branch it involve using tool of economics to analyze urban issues such as crime, education ,public, transit housing, and local government finance more narrowing.

First, what characterises a discipline to be a social sciences? Such discipline must have a link with man,his behaviour in his environment, must be observed,verified ,tested or experiment the nature of man's existence. Discipline like Economics, sociology, political science, Geography And psychology are social sciences and they all center on man. Urban economics as an aspect of economics which uses economic tool to analyze and explain the spatial and the economic organization of cities and how to solve economics problem of man. Urban economics analyses the movement of people from rural areas to urban areas in search of a more comfortable and sustainable standard of living. Political science treats phenomenon of the state and use the Principle of governance to control the economy as a whole. It guides the state and uses structure of governance to develop urban areas. Sociology on the other hand is the scientific study of the society. The society consists of man and his environment, cultural activities. Urban areas are characterized by infrastructural development such as road, electricity, water, school. It is therefore pertinent to say that sociology encompasses urban areas since people move from rural to urban society. Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental process of man. Geography as a social science study the wide spread of man's environment and the spatial relationship between societies. Geography uses geographical information system to access the spatial statistical measures which account for distribution of space in urban areas. All social sciences has it relationship as they all focus on man's existence and profer solution to man's economic, sociological, political, psychological and geographical problems.

 Social science is a field of study like Economics, political science, history, law and geography while urban economics is divided into six related themes: market forces in the development of cities, land use within cities, urban transportation, urban problems and public policy, housing and public policy, and local government expenditures and taxes.
 Social science as an academic field of study developed out of the Age of Enlightenment as individuals began to take a more disciplined approach to quantifying their observations of society while urban economics focuses on these spatial relationships to understand the economic motivations underlying the formation, functioning, and development of cities
 Social science is, in its broadest sense, the study of society and the manner in which people behave and influence the world around us while urban economics focuses on the allocation of resources across space in relation to urban areas
 Social science tells us about the world beyond our immediate experience, and can help explain how our own society works – from the causes of unemployment or what helps economic growth, to how and why people vote, or what makes people happy.
 Social science provides vital information for governments and policymakers, local authorities, non-governmental organizations and others while urban economics involves using the tools of economics to analyze urban issues such as crime, education, public transit, housing, and local government finance.
