Abstract
A title in the Foundations of Economic Geography Series, this work reviews and analyzes fundamental concepts that relate transportation patterns and structures to other forms of human occupance. It does not attempt to provide synthesis of all work in large and diverse field. Rather, it concentrates on the organization of an area as partial function of transportation networks and systems, through an appraisal of some of the more useful models for 'real world' applications. authors state that their book represents a survey of some ways in which geographers have approached the study of transportation. book's seven chapters are titled: and Spatial Processes, and Spatial Structure; The Gravity Model; Structural Analysis of Transportation Networks: Aggregate Measure; Structural Analysis of Transportation Network: Measures of Nodal Accessibility; Allocation Models; and Summary and Unanswered Questions. appendix is titled Some Statistical Considerations.
