“…Such contradictions have also been discussed in previous studies. For example, some studies suggest a positive correlation between economic status and travel distance (e.g., commuting distance) [59,60] while some others observe an opposite trend mostly in smaller US cities [61] and Europe [62]. These differences have deep roots in spatial arrangement of cities, which have been studied intensively during the last century.…”

“…In the absence of such a structure, established associations between commuting distances and personal characteristics break down. Maraffa and Brooker-Gross (1984) also found nonmetropolitan commuting patterns in Blacksburg, Virginia, that were different from those in metropolitan areas. High-income workers had shorter journeys-to-work than their lower income counterparts.…”

“…The resolution of this conflict is the emergence of long-distance commuting, an increasingly familiar phenomenon in nonmetropolitan areas (Clemente and Summers 1975;Hansen 1976;Maraffa and Brooker-Gross 1984;Brooker-Gross and Maraffa 1985). It is estimated that over one-half of Sedona's approximately 5,000 employees live outside the city limits (Sedona Community Plan-Economic Base Study 1990).…”

Sedona, Arizona, an amenity town that trades on intangible quality-of-life attributes like spectacular scenery, the arts, and its nonmetropolitan location, has a conflict between low-wage employment catering to its tourist sector and expensive housing for its affluent residents. Many of those who work in Sedona do not live in the community. This study, based on a survey of 286 employees, shows that workers who live in Sedona do not have incomes that are significantly higher than commuters from the outside, but they live in housing that is almost twice as expensive. Employees who live in Sedona pay dearly for housing in order to be near jobs, natural beauty, and the cultural ambience of an amenity town. Commuters, on the other hand, incur high travel costs but enjoy cheaper housing and the lifestyle of small towns and rural areas. The emergence of amenity environments and long-distance commuting in Sedona is symbolic of the increased differentiation of nonmetropolitan landscapes.

"The article concentrates on migration typologies and the role they play in the analysis of residential and labour migration. It is argued that in order to be able to understand the decisions individuals make regarding migration, the spatial adjustments as a consequence of the spatial separation of residence and workplace should be investigated. One way of obtaining more insight about these adjustment processes is by analysis of the influence of actual and perceived commuting on the decision to move. The suggested typology of residential and labour migration therefore contains commuting as the key factor. As an empirical application of the concepts, an analysis of actual migration in the Netherlands was undertaken." (SUMMARY IN FRE AND GER)
