Based on the Census for Transportation Planning Package (CTPP) 1990, in this paper I will attempt to explain intraurban variations of commuting time and distance in Columbus, OH. Whereas commuting times are directly available from the CTPP, commuting distances are recovered by GIS network...

In this paper I briefly review the use of computer simulation in archaeology and argue that pedestrian modelling has the potential to overcome many of the problems associated with earlier simulation studies. I then introduce the MAGICAL simulation software, which was written to facilitate the...

Cyberspace is often portrayed as a seamless expanse, with browsers of the web rarely made aware of the geographic location of a page. For all its professed aspatiality, however, analysis of the organization of cyberspace offers continuing proof of the presence of geographically determined...

In this paper, we use the question "what is the true nature of traditional street networks in Turkish cities?" to test different quantitative methods of urban morphological analysis. Traditional Turkish street networks are characterized by discriminant functions of several space-syntax-related...

The space that can be seen from any vantage point is called an isovist and the set of such spaces forms a visual field whose extent defines different isovist fields based on different geometric properties. I suggest that our perceptions of moving within such fields might be related to these...

Theories about communicative planning have forcefully emphasised how language and modes of communication play a key role in shaping planning practice, public dialogues, policymaking, and processes of collaboration. These days, however, discussions on planning seem to reestablish an old...

In this paper I will examine individual access to information on the Internet through a cognitive - behavioral perspective. I argue that the objective structure of information resources in cyberspace is not helpful for understanding the experience of individual accessibility in cyberspace....

Internet GIS, serving spatial data and GIS functionality on the web, offers a special and potentially important means to facilitate public participation in the planning and decisionmaking process. In this paper I discuss a framework for the design of a web-based public participation system...

In this paper we demonstrate the use of a probit model to evaluate whether two classes of apparently similar/dissimilar zones with identical uses, that may be carried out with planning permissions, are in fact similar (and hence 'inseparable') or otherwise. Four empirical hypotheses about...

In this paper I extend the debate about land use and urban form. I contend that many empirical studies that have examined the relationships between land use and travel patterns have omitted to consider the socioeconomic dimension, leading to simplistic views about land use and travel. I report...
