THE SPATIAL-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF STATION ZONES

The designation of station zones in the Netherlands has led to spontaneous office development in some cases but not in others. This paper examines the development of station sites and how this has affected the modal split of employees. Six stations are analysed - Haarlem, Dordrecht, Leyden, Groningen, Arnhem and Breda. The volume of employment, type of employment and type of coccupier are considered. The number of mounting and dismounting passengers are compared to the number employed and employment levels are compared to national figures. It is concluded that the development of estates has been decided by factors other than the location of the station zones and that there has been no significant switch to public transport. For the covering abstract see IRRD 868873.
