Transport for a Sustainable Future
Soviet Air-Passenger Transportation Network
Soviet air-passenger transportation system reflects the physical, political, and economic conditions under which it operates. Air service from Moscow, the dominant node, differs from service patterns in the United States. Distance, population, and complementarity all explain variations in levels of service in the Soviet Union. HE growth of air-passenger transportation in the Soviet Union has been phenomenal since 1945. Between 1950 and 1987, the …
Intrahousehold Commuting Behavior in a Nonmetropolitan Setting
Ungraded writing assignments in geography classes
Two examples of ungraded writing assignments are described: in‐class writing and periodic writing. The purposes of these assignments are (1) to increase the use of writing as a learning tool to complement lectures and readings, and (2) to enable students to write more frequently in geography classes without unduly burdening the geography instructor with papers to correct
Aspects of the Journey-to-Work Within a Small City Laborshed
A sample of the labor force of Blacksburg, Virginia, was surveyed to examine the relationship between worktrip length and household income within a small city laborshed and to ascertain the importance of commuting costs to the observed journey-to-work pattern. The results indicate that high income households are the most successful minimizers of worktrip length, in contrast to the typical metropolitan pattern. Patterns of home-work separation are…
Extended Commuting and the Intermetropolitan Periphery
Extended metropolitan commuting is commonly related to a decline of the intermetropolitan periphery. It is frequently postulated that this peripheral zone will continue to shrink, and even vanish, as metropolitan commuting fields push ever outward, aided by the construction of limited access highways. To study this phenomenon, the intermetropolitan periphery of Appalachian Ohio is examined in terms of the trends evident in extended commuting from…
