World Cities in a World System
Facing up to Urban Change
The United States in the World Economy
Disadvantaged Households and Areas of Deprivation
In this paper, special tabulations of microdata from the 1981 Census of Scotland are used to examine patterns of disadvantage at the household level. The overlap of six criteria of household disadvantage is described by region, settlement size, urban subarea, household type, and housing submarket and in relation to 'conventional' ecologically-defined areas of deprivation. It is shown that disadvantaged households are disproportionately concentrat…
North Sea Oil and the Quality of Life
Although a good deal has been written about the social, economic and cultural impact of oil‐related economic development in the Scottish Highlands, little evidence has been assembled on the affective response of people living in those communities which have borne the brunt of economic and demographic change. In this article we report on the quality of life in one such community as seen through the eyes of its inhabitants

Geography and Inequality
Geography and Inequality
We live in an unequal world and inequalities both among nations and individuals are a root cause of many contemporary problems. Some areas provide their inhabitants with a better `quality of life` than others. This book is about differences between the areas. Existing inequalities between areas are described at three levels: the international, the intra-national, and the intra-urban. Students and general readers interested in assessing the inequa…
The Intraurban Ecology of Primary Medical Care
Patterns of intraurban accessibility to primary medical care in four major Scottish cities are examined in the context of existing public policy and against the background of intraurban patterns of community well-being. Certain regularities are observed in the spatial ecology of family doctors' surgeries, and the notion of an 'inverse care law' is discussed. A modified interaction model is introduced and used to analyse local accessibility to pri…

Level of living
Knox P. L. (1974) Level of living: A conceptual framework for monitoring regional variations in well-being, Reg. Studies 8, 11–19. Recent interest in the development of social indicators has reflected a concern for the “quality of life” in many industrial nations, but a major problem has been the lack of a cohesive conceptual and theoretical framework. It is suggested that the well-established concept of level of living can provide such a framewo…
