“…This variable measures the ratio between commuters moving within the locality to go to work and total commuters in that locality. High scores may indicate localities that feature a blend of residential and work functions, while very low scores may denote localities that are mainly residential [47]. Urban design is included by means of two variables on street network characteristics: Street intersection density (SID) and street density (SD) [5,6,48].…”

This study provides empirical evidence on the links between urban development factors and the use of specific modes of transport in commuting in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. The case study is of interest because quantitative research on developing countries is scarce and their rapid urban growth and high rates of inequality may generate different results compared to the US or Europe. This relationship was assessed on locality level using regression methods. Spatial econometric techniques were applied to avoid unreliable inferences generated by spatial dependence and to detect the existence of externalities. Furthermore, we include in the model the socio-economic profile of each locality identified using cluster analysis. The findings reveal that population density affects motorised transport, that diversity is relevant for public transport and non-motorised trips, and urban design characteristics affect all modes of transport. Spatial dependence is detected for motorised transport, which may imply the existence of externalities, suggesting the need for coordinated decision-making processes on a metropolitan level. Finally, modal split depends on the socio-economic profile of a locality, which may influence the response to public transport policies. To sum up, these results may be useful when it comes to helping policymakers design integrated public policies on urban and transport planning.

“…Many studies proved empirically, that there is an inverse relationship between the size of the CBD or the sub-centres and the average commuting distance. That means wider centres or subcentres tend to attract workers by shorter commuting distance and time than the narrow centres [15]. However, it is important to mention that there are no correlations between the size of the city and its average density.…”

This article is a primary-theoretical research that investigates the effect of urban spatial structure on commuting patterns. The examined variables are the city size, centrality, concentrations of activities, urban densities, and landuses distribution. The selection is based on the most commonly used variables in the literature. The objective is detecting the prior theoretical and empirical contributions from the old and recent studies to conclude the research gap for potential optimization. The prior research confirms that both city size and the distance from the Central Business District are positively led to longer commuting distance, time, and cost. On the contrary, most of the literature has substantiated that the decentralized and densified population, employment, and social services, as well as the mixed land-uses, would notably reduce the average commuting distance, the number of motorized trips, and total vehicles miles travelled. The effect of urban-density and landuses mix remains unclear due to findings that conflict with the empirical results. In the high-densified and diversified districts, traffic congestions may result in longer commuting time, which offsets the decrease in the distance. Furthermore, there is a research gap detected on the effect of the spatial distribution of urban densities, concentrations, and land-uses on the commuting patterns in scale of a city. Finally, this article raises the Islam Abouelhamd, The Relationship Between Urban Spatial Structure & Commuting Patterns………. motivation to empirically investigate these variables in further studies for the Egyptian case.

“…Los tipos de conmutación son diferenciados en términos de la "frontera" que atraviesan. Por ejemplo, pueden efectuarse entre regiones diferentes (Duarte & Fernández, 2017;Vandyck & Rutherford, 2018), al interior de la misma (conmutación intrarregional) (Canales et al, 2018) o incluso o archipelágicos como el caso de Chiloé, donde se observan prácticas y experiencias de conmutación (Lazo y Carvajal, 2018;Lazo y Carvajal, 2017).…”
