Abstract:

Although an understanding of the interaction between land use and transportation is essential to a rational evaluation of urban and regional policy, it is frequently complicated by the introduction of sophisticated mathematical techniques. In an effort to make this interaction more visible to the decision maker, two of the more advanced techniques--multinomial logit analysis and mental maps--are placed in a common framework of analysis and presentation. The strength of a rigorous theoretical background is thus combined with the simplicity of a visual presentation. The theory and development of the technique are outlined, and its use in a case study of the residential location preferences of residents of the inner suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, is described. /Author/
