This study of consumption extends the field of enquiry to include the full range of goods and services consumed by households rather than concentrating upon the narrower field of mass produced articles which has been the concern of those
investigating consumerism. A fourfold classification allows an investigation of the historical and evolutionary significance of positional goods.
Externalities, policies and public goods are fundamental issues underlining the recent strong concern for normative analysis. The impact of environmental quality upon urban structure is decisive.
The impact of rising energy prices on the locational pattern of industries is analyzed by a simple two-firm straight line location model. The concavity of average cost function of final consumer'sgood with respect to locational variables is proved
of two industries, i.e., intermediate good industry and consumer'sgood industry.
Although fifth most industrialized state, the processing and consumergoods industries still dominate. Integrated planning is necessary for future development. (EMS).

This study calculates a carbon footprint for Tara Road in the South Durban Industrial Basin. Carbon footprints are useful for raising local awareness of the climatic implications of the goods and services that residents choose to consume core
and consumer durable goods and housing quality. However, the indigenes earn relatively higher than the migrants due to access to various forms of capital and the influence of institutional structures and processes. But to the migrants, their livelihood status
has improved since they have built houses, educated their children, remitted relations at home and have acquired some consumer durable goods. Improvement in the livelihood status of migrants could induce further north–south migration
