Abstract

"Diurnal population change in subareas of metropolitan regions is of increasing importance to urban geographers...and planners.... The urban context of daytime populations is that of commuting. Commuting, in turn, has been investigated almost exclusively within the setting of empirical economic research.... The purpose of the present study is to continue some recent attempts to find an alternative to the empirical economic approach to commuting, in advancing a formal demographic and spatial concept of diurnal population cycle." Data from the 1991 census of Canada are used. (EXCERPT)
