“…Most studies focusing on functional polycentricity rely on commuting or travel data, but also on employment data and firm locations, however, there's a lot more diversity regarding the methods used to evaluate it, though, an interesting alternative is to infer polycentricity from geotagging data (Zhang et al, 2016). From the perspective of interactions between the local administrative areas, provided that sufficient travel and commuting data is available, various network characteristics can be analysed to identify polycentric urban structures (Taylor et al, 2009;Tissandier, Quang and Archambault, 2013;Dadashpoor, Afaghpoor and Allan, 2017). Yet another alternative is the creation of flow maps based on employee home-work location data, however, this is data that is rarely available in most countries (Nielsen and Hovgesen, 2005).…”

The Legitimacy of new Regionalism in the European Integration Process

European borders have gone through allot of changes in terms of understanding the space of a culture, race, religion, city or nation. Growing from physical walls, intense militarized areas to a formal understanding of regions with no physical boundaries or restrictions of any kind, the frontier or the border, has been an area of the utmost importance to the different branches of science. The issue of cross-border cooperation in general goes beyond geographical, economic and legal approaches. If we intend to treat the phenomenon from a specific point of view, we will find ambiguities and uncertainties regarding the role and functioning of some institutions in the process of cross-border cooperation and partnerships.

“…On the urban planning scale, the internal, functional polycentricism of cities is also largely studied via investigating the flow of commuters e.g. [31,32]. Some publications and studies also highlight a different view of non-work polycentrism [33,34].…”

This paper discusses the security and safety of the polycentric functio-spatial structure of the city in the context of a pandemic. The research hypothesis is as follows: will the fear of the epidemic affect the manner of planning polycentric structures, reinforce local service concentrations and restore the commercial role of the city street? This paper presents a new outlook on urban security. Local service polycentricism is of particular significance. The problem was investigated based on original analyses of polycentricism and a definition that points to levels of understanding the notion of the centre while accounting for current theories and trends. The study discusses differences in the perception of polycentricism over time. On the example of the history of Cracow's development, the author analysed factors that affect polycentricism, such as: political decisions, suburbanisation and transport-related behaviour patterns.

“…Another example is the analysis by Rozenblat (2010) of the locational logics of multinational firms led both within and among cities. In order to propose new delineations of urban metropolitan areas, Tissandier et al (2013) also applied the strength clustering method to commuter flows in France, while Drevelle (2013) applied blockmodeling to the graph of commuter flows in the Montpellier urban area to detect the emergence of secondary poles in the suburbs. The analysis of mobile phone communication networks rightfully demonstrated the importance of geographic proximity in the emergence of communities, notwithstanding the influence of borders (Blondel et al, 2010), thereby echoing former studies of this kind based on simpler techniques (Nystuen and Dacey, 1961;Cattan, 1995).…”

Spatial Science and Network Science: Review and Outcomes of a Complex Relationship

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

For decades, the spatial approach to network analysis has principally focused on planar and technical networks from a classic graph theory perspective. Reference to models and methods developed by other disciplines on non-planar networks, such as sociology and physics, is recent, limited, and dispersed. Conversely, the physics literature that developed the popular scale-free and small-world models pays an increasing attention to the spatial dimension of networks. Reviewing how complex network research has been integrated into geography and regional science reveals a high heterogeneity among spatial scientists as well as key directions for increasing their role inside multidisciplinary researches on networks.
