All minutes are not equal: Travel time and the effects of congestion on commute satisfaction in Canadian cities
Rapid transit, transit-oriented development, and the contextual sensitivity of land value uplift in Toronto
Rapid transit projects that increase accessibility should result in a localised land value uplift (LVU) benefit for locations near stations. A rich history of research has tested this hypothesis, generally operationalising transit accessibility by proxy through distance from a transit station. However, a growing body of research has also demonstrated LVU effects from transit-oriented development (TOD) as individuals sort themselves into locations…
Are major canadian city-regions monocentric, polycentric, or dispersed
Relatively little research has explored spatial structure in modern major Canadian regions. Three common models are monocentricity, polycentricity, and dispersion, but these are not always mutually exclusive in the complex spatial structures of contemporary city-regions. Shifts between these models are discussed in the context of three explanations of economic growth and restructuring: accessibility, municipal competition, and globalization. All …

Excess commuting: A critical review and comparative analysis of concepts, indices, and policy implications
Urban Form and Commuting Efficiency: A Comparative Analysis across Time and Space
In this paper, a method is proposed that relates several measures of average commute distance (actual, minimum, maximum) explicitly to urban form. Specifically, Brotchie’s urban triangle is modified to represent the commuting benchmarks (minimum and maximum commutes) and urban form of a city. By comparing the urban triangle of a city at different points in time, it is possible to determine whether commuting behaviour is becoming more or less effi…

Three decades of urban growth in the city of Shiraz, Iran: A remote sensing and geographic information systems application
Exploring Spatial Dynamics with Land Price Indexes
The purpose of this study is to explore the within-region spatial dynamics of appreciation and depreciation rates using three different representations of geographical space. Mean value indexing methods are used to construct global land price indexes, sub-market land price indexes and local land price indexes using transaction price data for vacant residential land within the City of Hamilton, Ontario, between 1995 and 2003. The results are valid…
Exploring the land development process and its impact on urban form in Hamilton, Ontario
The form of many Canadian cities has dramatically evolved over the past six decades due to urban sprawl. Several patterns can characterize this evolution including unlimited horizontal expansion of the city, leapfrog, and low‐density residential development at the outskirts, and widespread strip commercial and power centre retail development. Hamilton, Ontario is an example of a Canadian city that has experienced suburbanization and sprawled deve…
A Demographic Model for Small Area Population Projections: An Application to the Census Metropolitan Area of Hamilton in Ontario, Canada
This paper reports on the development of a demographic model capable of projecting the spatial distribution of population by age and sex for small areas such as census tracts. The proposed modeling framework makes use of two components: the Rogers multiregional population projection model and the aggregate spatial multinomial logit (ASMNL) model. The Rogers model utilizes cohort vital statistics on fertility, mortality, and migration to project t…
Smart growth strategies, transportation and urban sprawl: Simulated futures for Hamilton, Ontario
North American cities have undergone dramatic changes over the last century. Locations that were once inconvenient have become accessible through extensive road networks leading to population decentralization from the traditional urban centre to suburbia, creating polycentric sprawls from once monocentric communities. Hamilton, Ontario is one such city. The decentralization and urban decline of the city is widely attributed to sprawling developme…
Modelling car ownership in urban areas: A case study of Hamilton, Canada
Elderly Mobility: Demographic and Spatial Analysis of Trip Making in the Hamilton CMA, Canada
Recent interest in the urban transport challenges posed by the demographic outlook of ageing societies has prompted a growing body of scholarship on the subject. The focus of this paper is on the topic of elderly trip generation and the development of models to help formalise some important relationships between trip-making behaviour and personal, household and contextual variables (such as location). The case study is the Hamilton Metropolitan A…
A spatial analysis of the determinants of pneumonia and influenza hospitalizations in Ontario (1992-2001)
Urban Form and Household Activity‐Travel Behavior
Cities and metropolitan regions face several challenges including urban sprawl, auto dependence and congestion, and related environmental and human health effects. Examining the spatial characteristics of daily household activity‐travel behavior holds important implications for understanding and addressing urban transportation issues. Research of this sort can inform development of urban land use policy that encourages the use of local opportunit…
Effects of residential exposure to steel mills and coking works on birth weight and preterm births among residents of Sydney, Nova Scotia
The Sydney Tar Ponds in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada, have been referred to as the most contaminated industrial site in the country. Area residents, aware of the contamination for close to 25 years, are very concerned about their health: past, present and future. In particular, they are concerned about cancer; this is followed closely by reproductive health concerns. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and determinants of birt…

A GIS-Environmental Justice Analysis of Particulate Air Pollution in Hamilton, Canada
The authors address two research questions: (1) Are populations with lower socioeconomic status, compared with people of higher socioeconomic status, more likely to be exposed to higher levels of particulate air pollution in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada? (2) How sensitive is the association between levels of particulate air pollution and socioeconomic status to specification of exposure estimates or statistical models? Total suspended particulate (T…
Domestic Water Demand in Rural Semiarid Northeastern Nigeria: Identification of Determinants and Implications for Policy
The basic premise in this paper is that the level of domestic water demand in arid and semiarid rural areas of developing countries is closely related to their culture, social organization and demographic structure. We also provide a methodological framework within which the implications of policies related to domestic water demand can be evaluated, before the policies themselves are implemented. We make use of primary data collected in Katarko, …

Metropolitan Outmigration Pattern of Canadian Labour Force Entrants, 1971–76
This paper analyses the 1971 ‐76 metropolitan out‐migration pattern of Canadian males in the labour force entrance age group. Migration is conceptualized within a three‐level choice framework, and statistical inference is based on a multinomial logit model. It was found (1) that the propensity to outmigrate and the destination choice pattern vary substantially among the 23 metropolitan areas; (2) that 83 per cent of the variation in the destinati…

The Aggregated Spatial Choice Model vs. The Multinomial Logit: An Empirical Comparison Using Migration Microdata
Frequently, in spatial interaction analysis, researchers are forced to use destinations that are zonal aggregates of the ‘real’ destinations perceived by the participants in the interaction process. Previous simulation studies demonstrated that, under certain circumstances, the aggregated spatial choice model can outperform the popular ordinary multinomial logit model, both in explanatory power and predictive ability. In this paper, the two model…
The Pattern of Counterurbanization in the Federal Republic of Germany, 1977-85
Counterurbanization in developed countries has been one of the main foci of migration research in recent years. The existence of the phenomenon in the Federal Republic of Germany has been debated. In this paper, net migration data, disaggregated by age, are utilized to examine the existence of metropolitan turnaround in the FRG for the period 1978-85. These data are provided at the county level (328 Kreise) which is more detailed than other spati…

Urban Evolution: Studies in the Mathematical Ecology of Cities
This book develops a theory of inter- and intra-urban evolution as a branch of mathematical ecology and population dynamics. In recent years profound changes have been taking place in the methodology of dynamical analysis. These new ideas are encompassed by catastrophe and bifurcation theory, and nonlinear differential equations. The authors of this book show how one can attain an understanding of urban evolution by using these new methods. The t…

The Demand and Supply of Child Care: The Case of the City of Waterloo, Ontario
The intention of this paper is to stimulate research on the demand and supply of child care services, an issue that has been largely neglected by geographers, although many of the problems involved lend themselves to geographical analysis. In addition, as the female labour force participation rate, the divorce rate, and the incidence of lone‐parent families increase, so do the need for and importance of child care. We review the types of child ca…

On Spurious Correlation in Geographical Problems
In human and physical geography, researchers routinely calculate correlation coefficients between variables that are in a functional relationship with one another. At least part of the correlation between such variables is due to the functional relationship and is termed spurious correlation. Such correlation contributes practically nothing to the understanding of the phenomenon under investigation and a systematic method for its removal is desir…
