A CONCEPTUAL AND ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING SPATIAL AND TRAVEL CHOICES

This paper focuses upon the development of a conceptual and analytical framework for the analysis of spatial and travel choice behavior under laboratory and field conditions. In particular, we develop a conceptual framework for an understanding of choice behavior and then briefly outline a more formal approach for the analysis of choice behavior as well as related value assignment behaviors under controlled conditions. We then provide evidence to suggest that this approach may be directly extended to real world choice problems in the field and that the results can provide important insights into processes of interest to human geography and related disciplines.
