The transport implications of Planning Policy Guidance on the location of superstores in England and Wales: Simulations and case study
Antigenic and genomic relation between human influenza A (H3N2) viruses circulating in Argentina during 1998 and the H3N2 vaccine component
The approach that we applied in Argentina has improved the quality and quantity of information about influenza in the country. This type of work should be encouraged in other countries in order to help choose the most appropriate vaccine components each year and provide individuals with the best possible protection against influenza

Concepts of Equity, Fairness and Justice in Geographical Studies
Notions of equity, fairness and justice frequently appear in geographical writing. It may be argued that eight distinct concepts underlie this usage, all of which are relevant to the study of geographical distributions. Such applications introduce complications in terms of measurement (due to problems of geographical data-collection units and ecological correlations). The common geographical operationalization of spatial equality, territorial jus…

On Testing for Structural Effects in Electoral Geography, Using Entropy-Maximising Methods to Estimate Voting Patterns
Entropy-maximising methods have been introduced in recent papers for estimating spatial variations in voting behaviour. The estimates can be used to test structural effect hypotheses. This paper illustrates such usage and discusses a major technical issue relating to it

On the Parameters of Uniform Swing in Single-Member Constituency Electoral Systems
The concept of uniform swing across a set of constituencies is widely used in analyses of British general election results. The uniformity of swing is paradoxical, since only in very special cases will it be the result of a uniform national process. The present paper investigates that paradox, and identifies the spatially varying parameters of electoral change needed to produce uniform swing. Further, it adapts the entropy-maximising procedures t…
Estimating the Sources of Spatial Change in Election Results: A Multiproportional Matrix Approach
Several hypotheses have been suggested to account for spatial variations in the changing pattern of votes between elections. Unfortunately, data are not available to allow direct tests of these hypotheses. However, an entropy-maximizing procedure for providing the best estimates of the needed data is outlined, means of testing the hypotheses are suggested, and a set of analyses using a hypothetical data set are presented

The Spatio‐temporal Synchronization of Periodic Market‐places: A Re‐examination
Analyses of the locational and temporal spacing of periodic market‐places have provided only partial confirmation of the hypothesis ‘proximity in space implies separation in time.’ The patterns, which are observed in almost all empirical studies, are explained here in terms of a simple avoidance rule constrained by the geometry of periodic market‐place systems. The results of a series of simulations suggest that the constraints of geometry are su…

Search and the Choice of Shopping Centre: Two Models of Variability in Destination Selection
There is abundant empirical evidence that shoppers allocate their custom for the same goods to a number of centres. Such apparently suboptimal behaviour may be a rational response to either or both of the costs of search and variations in the utility offered by the destinations. Two models of such behaviour are presented and are evaluated alongside data oh spatiotemporal price variations. The results have implications for the calibration of shopp…
Consumer Choice of Shopping Centre-A Hypergeometric Model
The paper identifies the role of consumer choice models in relating consumer behaviour to observed characteristics of shopping centres. A hypergeometric model of consumer choice, assuming a finite set of ranked alternatives and limited searching in random order, is then introduced and developed to model situations where tied ranks exist. The properties of the model are illustrated using hypothetical values for the model parameters and it is shown…

Connection and orientation in three West African road networks
Hay A. M. (1971) Connection and orientation in three West African road networks, Reg. Studies 5, 315–319. The study examines the connectivity and orientation of the road networks of Ghana, Nigeria, and Ivory Coast by measuring the “route factor” which is defined as the ratio between road distance and geodetic distance. Conclusions: Ghana and Ivory Coast are more highly connected than Nigeria; three regions within Nigeria are better connected than…

Measuring association in link-node problems: A comment
On the Choice of Methods in the Factor Analysis of Connectivity Matrices: A Comment
Examination of Tinkler's use of a binary coefficient of association in the factor analysis of networks suggests that the method is unsatisfactory. An alternative method is shown to be redundant, but to be a useful aid to the interpretation of results obtained by established methods. THE object of this note is to comment upon a result derived by Tinkler (I972, pp. 35-9) in the application of principal components analysis (P.C.A.) to binary matrice…

Cost-Benefit Analysis and the Perpetuation of Regional Imbalance-A Note
Regional development benefits are excluded from cost-benefit analysis, but the valuation techniques and discounting techniques create a bias towards projects in the best-developed regions. Three devices to counter this tendency are noted
