abstract="This study analyzes the inter-municipal commuting systems of the Italian islands of Sardinia and Sicily, employing weighted network analysis technique. Based on the results obtained for the Sardinian commuting network, the network analysis is used to identify similarities and dissimilarities between the two systems.  The authors have developed a framework for weighted network modeling of the commuting system of Sicily, Italy, comparing it with an earlier analysis of the corresponding system in Sardinia.  As a preliminary result, it is possible to state that the Sardinian and the Sicilian intermunicipal commuting networks are statistically similar in their general and local properties. From these results, one can infer that in similar geographical settings (in this case, two islands with comparable geographic features) similar commuting networks emerge.<p />",
