TOWARDS A MODEL FOR DISTANCE BEHAVIOUR

NAAR EEN MODEL VOOR HET AFSTANDSGEDRAG

This paper deals firstly with model specification problems. Using an allocation model as an example, logical, theoretical, methodological, and practical considerations in specifying a model are clarified. The problem of how to identify the factors that really contribute to the explanation of the phenomenon at hand are discussed. This is done using two residential location models. Special attention is paid to testing the effect of accessibility and to the adequacy of several distance measures. (a) the covering abstract for the conference is IRRD No. 215277. /TRRL/
