CENTRIFUGAL RELOCATION AND BACK-COMMUTING FROM THE METROPOLITAN FRINGE

The article examines a particular form of residential movement known as "centrifugal relocation" - defined as the movement of individuals from inner areas to residences in the metropolitan fringe districts. The impact of centrifugal relocation on commuting patterns originating from the metropolitan fringe is examined. A variation of a commonly used trip distributing model is proposed in which centrifugal relocation is treated as an independant variable. The model is estimated using 1964 and 1971 data and emphasises the role of centrifugal relocation in affecting the rate of back-commuting from fringe areas which has not previously received attention.
