The analysis of journey to work in human geography


The analysis of journey to work 

in human geography


by Kevin O’Connor

sage journals, Vol 4, Issue 4, 1980P P 475 - 499


   The analysis of journey to work data has been an important component in human geography for a considerable period. That importance arose primarily from its rich insight into the daily geography of cities and regions. The following survey beings with an outline of what journey to work data can tell about human settlements, and then moves on to show how it has been used at a city and regional scale, then at a national scale, to expand and illustrate basic ideas in human geography.


 I Journey to work data base 

1 Contents of a journey to work table 

  There are three pieces of information in a journey to work data matrix: First, there is information on the geography of the residences of the employed population, represented as the totals in each of the origin units; second, there is the geography of workplaces (what has come to be called ’daytime populations’), which is represented as the totals in each destination unit; and third, the number of flows or trips between the spatial units. 

   With these three components, journey to work analysis spans subfields in human geography and its insights can contribute to debate in several areas. Processes operating on the spatial distribution of jobs obviously affect the journey- to work; residential mobility, itself a function of a diversity of forces, will influence the distribution of residences; finally the analysis of journeys-for some, a subfield called ’transport geography’-provides data to analyse transport demand and to model intraurban development. 

  At the same time, however, efforts to juggle all three components simultaneously are not uncommon. These efforts are directed towards understanding the effect that differential rates of change in the spatial distribution of jobs and residences have upon the structure of cities and regions, and on -equity and efficiency considerations of transport system.
