Thi s publication ari ses from The Fourth eu Coll oqui urn on Theoret i ca 1 and Quant itat i ve Geography wh i ch was once he 1 din Ve 1 dhoven, The Netherlands in September 1985. It incorporates a sequence of papers on spatial selection dynamics and dynamical spatial structures which have been provided on the colloquium, including a number of different soll icited ones. The booklet is meant essentially as a state-of-the artwork evaluation of ordinarily ecu examine on those fastly becoming troublesome areas. because of this selection, the ebook incorporates a collection of papers that differs by way of concentration, point of class and conceptual historical past. obviously, the dissimination of rules and software program is a time-related phenomenon, which within the ecu context is amplified by way of transformations in language, the profile of geography and the formal education of geographers. The e-book displays such changes. it's going to were very unlikely to provide this publication with no the help of some of the ecu examine teams on theoretical and quantitative geography. with no their support the conferences from which this volumes originates do not have been held within the first position. we're additionally indebted to the Royal Dutch Academy of technological know-how for partially investment the colloquium, and to SISWO and TNOjPSC for delivering normal aid within the supplier of the conference.

By contrast, households whose income is low (Type 2) tend to travel by foot or bus. The heterogeneity we see in these examples may be due to omitted variables, rat~er than purely random variations in taste. The U-shaped mixing distribution for Types 1 and 3, for instance, might arise from factors which favour shopping by foot and because retail outlets are situated nearby, in which case a measure of proximity to shops might improve the model. 76 1. 2. Choice between Car, Walk and Bus So far we have looked at the choice between two alternatives on major grocery trips, now we consider a wider range of alternatives on all grocery trips - it might be the case that differences between walking and public transport are greater than differences between these two and car.
The design and content of the data bases for these services are described in Section 2; Section 3 presents the statistical method on which the analysis relies, and the results of the sensitivity analyses are summarized in Section 4. Finally, conclusions are drawn in Section 5. 2. THE DATA To test the sensitivity of spatial behaviour to the type of service visited, it is necessary to have reliable empirical estimates of individual behaviour as well as of the locational and socioeconomic characteristics of the users.
