Scp>B ooth, C harles (1840–1916)
Charles Booth was a successful businessman who was concerned about the extent of poverty in late Victorian cities. In 1886 he set out to establish what he saw as the “facts” of poverty and the way people lived and worked in London. His 17 volumes on the topic remain a landmark study of urban life. Updated in 1902–1903, they revealed that over 30 percent lived in poverty. The volumes provided vivid descriptions of the conditions of life and work i…
Towards a model of crime variations and solutions
A model of alternative approaches to the study of crime provides a framework for future geographical work, incorporating key components of the criminology literature as well as spatial issues. It is shown how the phenomena of crime, and anti-social behaviour in general, is a «social construction», illustrating the relativist nature of the way we represent. The model also shows that explanations for crime variations can be summarized in terms of t…
Affective dimensions of urban crime areas
Traditional studies of crime areas within cities by geographers focus on the spatial variations in the incidence of crime, as well as the social deprivation and social disorganization of these areas. Although these social content and behavioural features are often highly correlated with crime areas. it is argued that analytical studies of crime areas need to be extended to deal with the feelings and attitudes of people in these areas.Ten separate…
The Survival of Commercial Hierarchies
A case study of rural service centres in Western Victoria, Australia, is used to determine whether the pattern of commercial activity produces hierarchical centres or dispersed cities composed of groups of specialised towns. Cluster analysis techniques applied to a 216 place × 83 matrix of functional types identified seven major grades of place that could be generalised as a hierarchical distribution, a finding confirmed by discriminant analysis …

How Do Community Associations Vary? The Structure of Community Associations in Calgary, Alberta
The growth in territorial community associations has been one of the major trends in Western cities in recent years, but there are few comprehensive studies of the range of variation of these organisations in a single city. This case study of Calgary, a Canadian city of three-quarters of a million people in 1991, addresses this gap in our understanding by showing the variation in the character of all 118 community associations in the city. The ci…

Economic Diversification and Group Stability in an Urban System
Researchers have shown relatively little recent interest in the study of the economic diversification and classification of urban systems. If we are to understand contemporary urban structures, older studies must be brought up to date. This study of the economic character of towns greater than 30 000 in Canada demonstrates the degree of diversification of the centres between 1951 and 1986 and provides a succinct classification of the centres. The…

Consistency and Differential Impact in Urban Social Dimensionality
Relatively few factorial ecologies have explored either the consistency of the social dimensionality of urban areas in more than a few cities or the separation of city-specific from general effects. This study of almost 3,000 census tracts in all 24 Canadian metropolitan areas (CMAs) used 35 variables from 198 1 census data to solve these problems. It shows there is a persistent similarity in six of the seven to nine dimensions found in separate …

The structure of interurban connectivity
Davies W. K. D. and Thompson R. R. (1980) The structure of interurban connectivity: a dyadic factor analysis of Prairie commodity flows, Reg. Studies 14, 297–311. No single model can summarize the structure of connectivity in an urban system. Instead, a series of linkage types and network structures are proposed as being alternative patterns in urban systems. The dyadic factor analysis approach is used to integrate the flow patterns of 15 differe…
Higher-Order Factor Analysis and Functional Regionalization
A method for functional regionalization based on higher-order factor analysis is proposed. The utility of the method when using alternative factorial procedures is described by reference to a study of journey-to-work flows in South Wales in 1971, in which the stability of the results under alternative factorial procedures is explored. The advantages of the higher-order factorial approach compared with previously suggested methodologies are docume…
Spatial patterns of commuting in South Wales, 1951–1971
Davies W. K. D. and Musson T. C. (1978) Spatial patterns of commuting in South Wales, 1951–1971: a factor analysis definition, Reg. Studies 12, 353–366. Data from the 1951 and 1971 Censuses are used to examine the changing patterns of journey to work in South Wales. Although total employment has grown only slightly, the volume of commuting has increased substantially. The spatial pattern of commuting flows in the region is complex, and is inadequ…

Conurbation and city-region in an administrative borderland
Davies W. K. D. (1972) Conurbation and city-region in an administrative borderland: A case study of the Greater Swansea area, Reg. Studies 6, 217–236. The paper explores the relationship between the urban structure of the Greater Swansea area and the recent series of local government boundary proposals. Although a coastal conurbation can be recognized in land use terms, a factor analysis of the economic structure and interaction patterns makes it…

The Morphology of Central Places
Few attempts have been made to study the interrelationships existing between the morphology and the function of urban areas, either within or between centers. Accordingly a partial theory of the morphological structure of commercial places is proposed. This theory recognizes that any new commercial function locating in a central place can either occupy an existing building, convert the building, or destroy the original structure and create a new …

The Ranking of Service Centres
THE CURRENT concern with the redevelopment of town centres and the realization of the need to plan upon a regional rather than a local basis has meant that the determination of the functional status of a service centre1 has ceased to be purely an academic problem: increasingly it is a technical one. A definite need exists to rank service centres in an objective manner. Then the results obtained by one worker can be duplicated if the need arises, …
