Book Synopsis The Role of Job Search Methods and Contacts on Commuting and Relocation Decisions by : Nebiyou Tilahun
Download or read book The Role of Job Search Methods and Contacts on Commuting and Relocation Decisions written by Nebiyou Tilahun and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper empirically explores the relationship between (i) job finding and commuting outcomes and (ii) the relationship between job search and the commute and location outcomes of relocation decisions after finding employment. The relationship between commute outcomes when finding a new job and the job search method that one employs are explored first. That is followed by an analysis of how long one stays at their residence after finding work, and where they eventually relocate relative to their new employment site as well as their previous residence. Along with the usual socio-demographic variables, the analysis takes on the job search method as well as the local contacts that one has in their residential area as important variables informing these choices. The findings indicate that jobs found through the use of internet and newspapers were on average farther away from the searchers' residence as compared to those found through contacts and formal means. On relocation after employment, we find that being a renter and moving to a rental unit were important in how quickly one relocated. In addition those that used the internet to find their jobs also relocated faster after controlling for demographic variables such as age. The distribution of ones social contacts were also found to be important in how far away from the previous location a person relocated.

Book Synopsis Job Mobility, Residential Mobility and Commuting by : Jos van Ommeren
Download or read book Job Mobility, Residential Mobility and Commuting written by Jos van Ommeren and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision to move job and the decision to move residence are closely related dynamic discrete choices, as both moves involve a change of commuting distance. This suggests that labour and residential mobility are mutually dependent and should be simultaneously analysed, based on a theory which incorporates these dynamic decisions explicitly. In the present paper, we base our analysis on search theory and choose the point of departure that individuals maximise utility by moving through different labour market and housing market states, while taking into consideration that moving from one state to another is costly. Based on these assumptions, a search model is constructed and the optimality conditions are derived. One of main conclusions based on the search model is that the effect of factors which cause housing market imperfections (viz. the residential moving costs and the residence arrival rate) have ambiguous effects on he job acceptance and job search behaviour of employed individuals. For some interesting cases however, the effect of the residential moving costs on the job acceptance behaviour can be derived. In contrast, the effect of housing market imperfections on the labour market behaviour of nonemployed persons is determined. We find for example that housing policies which discourage nonemployed persons to move residence (e.g. housing subsidies) also decrease the probability of becoming employed and may therefore unintentionally increase the number of nonemployed persons.

Summing Up: Recommended. Undergraduates and general readers." —CHOICE Booklist Editors′ Choice 2008 "This superb interdisciplinary work should find a place on the shelves of every public and academic library that has the least bit of interest in environment issues—which should mean just about all." —Booklist (Starred Review) Where does the environment leave off and society begin? When expanding production and consumption drives greenhouse gas emissions that warm the planet, which in turn influence the conditions of economic expansion, it is unclear where the climate ends and the economy begins. This fact is not new to our era, however, our social and natural sciences have only recently come to grips with the incredible complexity of the world described by understanding the environment and society as being of a piece. As a result, in the last decade there has been an unprecedented explosion of new concepts, theories, facts, and techniques that follow from such an understanding. The Encyclopedia of Environment and Society brings together multiplying issues, concepts, theories, examples, problems, and policies, with the goal of clearly explicating an emerging way of thinking about people and nature. With more than 1,200 entries written by experts from incredibly diverse fields, this innovative resource is a first step toward diving into the deep pool of emerging knowledge. The five volumes of this Encyclopedia represent more than a catalogue of terms. Rather, they capture the spirit of the moment, a fascinating time when global warming and genetic engineering represent only two of the most obvious examples of socio-environmental issues. Key Features Examines many new ideas about how the world works, what creates the daunting problems of our time, and how such issues might be addressed, whether by regulation, markets, or new ethics Demonstrates how theories of environmental management based on market efficiency may not be easily reconciled with those that focus on population, and both may certainly diverge from those centering on ethics, justice, or labor Offers contributions from experts in their fields of specialty, including geographers, political scientists, chemists, anthropologists, medical practitioners, development experts, and sociologists, among many others Explores the emerging socio-environmental problems that we face in the next century, as well as the shifting and expanding theoretical tools available for tackling these problems Covers regions of North America in greater detail but also provides a comprehensive picture that approaches, as effectively as possible, a cohesive global vision Key Themes Agriculture Animals Biology and Chemistry Climate Conservation and Ecology Countries Geography History Movements and Regulations Organizations People Politics Pollution Society Packed with essential and up-to-date information on the state of the global socio-environment, the Encyclopedia of Environment and Society is a time capsule of its historic moment and a record of where we stand at the start of the 21st century, making it a must-have resource for any library. These inspiring volumes provide an opportunity for more new ways of thinking, behaving, and living in a more-than-human world.

Book Synopsis GIS-Based Simulation and Analysis of Intra-Urban Commuting by : Yujie Hu
Download or read book GIS-Based Simulation and Analysis of Intra-Urban Commuting written by Yujie Hu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commuting, the daily link between residences and workplaces, sets up the complex interaction between the two most important land uses (residential and employment) in a city, and dictates the configuration of urban structure. In addition to prolonged time and stress for individual commuters on traffic, commuting comes with additional societal costs including elevated crash risks, worsening air quality, and louder traffic noise, etc. These issues are important to city planners, policy researchers, and decision makers. GIS-Based Simulation and Analysis of Intra-Urban Commuting, presents GIS-based simulation, optimization and statistical approaches to measure, map, analyze, and explain commuting patterns including commuting length and efficiency. Several GIS-automated easy-to-use tools will be available, along with sample data, for readers to download and apply to their own studies. This book recognizes that reporting errors from survey data and use of aggregated zonal data are two sources of bias in estimation of wasteful commuting, it studies the temporal trend of intraurban commuting pattern based on the most recent period newly-available 2006-2010, and it focuses on commuting, and especially wasteful commuting within US cities. It includes ready-to-download GIS-based simulation tools and sample data, and an explanation of optimization and statistical techniques of how to measure commuting, as well as presenting a methodology that can be applicable to other studies. This book is an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in geography, urban planning, public policy, transportation engineering, and other related disciplines.
Book Synopsis A Spatial Analysis of Disaggregated Commuting Data by : Wook Lee
Download or read book A Spatial Analysis of Disaggregated Commuting Data written by Wook Lee and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In the standard analysis of jobs-housing balance and excess commuting, the analyst seeks a matching between supposedly homogeneous workers from a place of residence to a place of employment. Unfortunately, much of the analysis to date on commuting deals with total commuting flow, undifferentiated with respect to worker and job characteristics. Measures based on undifferentiated workers often produce misleading results because the assumption of worker homogeneity is violated. Motivated by the needs of differentiating worker types, this dissertation employs a benchmark spatial modeling approach to disaggregating journey-to-work data by type of workers. The objectives of this dissertation are: (1) to develop a trip distribution model disaggregating journey-to-work data by type of occupation to predict average actual commutes; (2) to develop a disaggregated version of a linear program to measure theoretical minimum commutes; (3) to investigate accessibility and its changes by occupation; and (4) to assess multiple relocation policy scenarios considering intrazonal, inbound, and outbound commuting flows. All models presented in this dissertation are applied to the tri-state area combining counties across Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio over the ten-year period between 1990 and 2000. Empirical results verify the existence of variations in the levels of excess commuting, jobs-housing balance, and accessibility by type of occupation. Workers in each occupation react differently to relocation policy scenarios with varying preferences in terms of reduction in minimum commutes. This dissertation explicitly addresses the disaggregation issue in terms of job and worker heterogeneity and provides a benchmark approach for incorporating such details into the analysis of commuting. The proposed benchmarking models are expected to have a wide range of applications in measurement and assessment of empirical patterns of commuting. The scope of the disaggregation can be extended to other targets such as different types of industry, household structure, income level, ethnic background, education level, transportation mode, and gender. Further dimensions of disaggregation can address spatial interactions of different socio-economic groups in urban areas, and more generally, contribute to exploring urban sprawl with respect to job characteristics and industries.
Book Synopsis Home Relocation and the Journey to Work by : Nebiyou Tilahun
Download or read book Home Relocation and the Journey to Work written by Nebiyou Tilahun and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relocation decisions are complex. Each household has a bundle of attributes that make a location attractive to it, including the ability to access different activity locations easily, neighborhood quality, house amenities etc. Relocating households have an opportunity to find housing closer to their work. Using data collected in the Twin Cities area, we investigate how distance to home and travel time to home change among individuals who have changed their residence since they started their current job. Comparing the home-to-work distance after the move to the previous-home-to-work distance, we find that the average home to work distance is reduced as a result of the move. We also find that the reduction depend on the previous home to work distance as well as the previous homes' proximity to downtown Minneapolis. The findings show that households that are either very close to their work, or very close to downtown, or both did not significantly increase or decrease their commute after relocation. This suggests that access to work as well as access to the opportunities that proximity to downtown offers (to jobs, urban spaces, etc.) are important in the decision making process.

Download or read book The Practice of Spatial Analysis written by Helen Briassoulis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume compiles a set of papers that present various applications of spatial analysis, both traditional and contemporary, on diverse subjects in a wide range of contexts. The volume is dedicated to the memory of the late Professor Pavlos Kanaroglou, McMaster University, Canada, who greatly contributed to scientific and applied research on spatial analysis. In his honor, the book offers a selection of various spatial analysis approaches to the study of contemporary urban transportation, land use, and air pollution issues. The first part of the book discusses selected general issues in spatial analysis; ontologies, agent-based modelling and accessibility analysis. The second part deals with urban transportation analysis and modelling issues; agent-based activity/travel microsimulation, bottleneck models, public transit use, freight transport and connected automated vehicles impact assessment. Part three focuses on integrated land use and transport analysis, discussing the land value impacts of public transport infrastructure, the role of transport provision on business evolution and commute distance considerations in urban relocation. The fourth part, on travel-related air pollution analysis, presents the development of a geo-information software for mapping Aerosol Optical Thickness in urban environments and the development of a neighborhood level, real time, internet-enabled, air pollution map in the Canadian urban context. This book will appeal to academics, researchers, graduate students, consultants, and practitioners working on topics related to spatial analysis, land use and transport analysis, planning and decision making, and air pollution studies.
Book Synopsis Household Commuting Behavior and Job Change in the US. by : José Ignacio Giménez-Nadal
Download or read book Household Commuting Behavior and Job Change in the US. written by José Ignacio Giménez-Nadal and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time that workers spend commuting to and from work has increased in recent decades in many developed economies. However, most research on the topic has ignored how a couple's commuting behaviors are related. This paper analyzes how husband and wife commuting behaviors respond to job change in the United States. Using household data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics for the period 2011-2019, we analyze how job change is related to variations in commuting, in a setting without residential moving. Estimates indicate that husband's job change relates to a decrease in his commuting time, and also to a decrease in his wife's commuting. Conversely, a wife's job change relates to an increase in her commuting time, while if both the husband and the wife change their jobs at the same time, the commuting time of the husband, but not that of the wife, responds increasingly significantly. Furthermore, these results seem driven by job changes associated with wage decreases. This analysis contributes to the field of commuting and job search, providing results for a sample of households, rather than focusing solely on individuals. The results may serve to guide future planning programs on travel behavior, where intra-household commuting, instead of individual commuting, is the target of the intervention.
