ORIGIN &DESTINATION:
ORIGIN &DESTINATION Source of movement Transferability of a product Complimentality Intervening opportunities Shortest path analysis Barriers to movement Modes of movement
DEMAND & SUPPLY:
DEMAND & SUPPLY Product availability Product & distribution channels Demand is space/location sensitive Supply is space /location sensitive Distribution costs money, time & energy Distance and distance decay Intervening opportunities and impact on interaction
PRICE & PRICING:
PRICE & PRICING Exchange occurs when goods change hands for a payment Price depends on the perceived value of a product and its availability in the market Price depends on the intensity of demand Demand which is not effective does not generate exchange Price depends also on the intensity of supply
TRAFFIC DENSITY & IMPACT:
TRAFFIC DENSITY & IMPACT Urban centres as main drivers of traffic Volume of movement to- in-through-over time Volume of products conveyed by road, air, ship & train increase with population Intensity of movement
SPATIAL BEHAVIOUR:
SPATIAL BEHAVIOUR Distance.. in time, kilometres and cost Time…duration of a trip Mobility..modes of movement available to the individual, household and community Decision-making..system for ranking options Urgency..method for ranking the relative importance of a trip in time Provide a list of possible reasons why people move
Synthesis:
Synthesis Movement is important because it generates interaction, networks, flows, nodes and information diffusion Movement is important because most human activities, their location, intensity and diversity are often a response to the need for movement The entire transport system by road, train, ship, plane, canal, foot, cycle, motorbike etc is designed to address the demand for movement which also translates into space consumption
