This article examines travel distances in daily trips based on random day trip diaries and long-distance trips for private and business purposes. First, it analyses the effects of municipality size classes based on population, population density
, and land-use mix, while controlling for sociodemographics. Second, it finds distances travelled on long-distance trips and daily trips to be affected by sociodemographics in much the same way, while spatial effects affect distances travelled on daily
and long-distance trips mostly in different directions. Residents of small municipalities and low-density neighbourhoods make fewer and/or shorter long-distance journeys than those living in large cities and high-density neighbourhoods, but the latter
Is your commute killing you? On the mortality risks of long-distance commuting

This article examines the mortality risks of long-distance commuting in Sweden. The results indicate that women who have experienced long-distance commuting face a significantly higher mortality risk compared with women with short commutes to work
. A very different picture emerges for men, for whom mortality risks do not seem to be associated with long-distance commuting. Our findings suggest that men and women are subject to different mechanisms regarding the nexus between commuting and mortality.

This article assesses neighborhood differences in access to supermarkets for the Portland, Oregon region. It shows that poor and nonpoor outer neighborhoods have longer average travel times and distances to nearby supermarkets than their more
centralized counterparts. It also demonstrates that the former fare better on travel distance than nonpoor outer neighborhoods do, but endure penalties in longer travel times. This research suggests that more nuanced methodology will be required for us

This article uses multilevel models based on official register data covering the total Swedish working population to explore how home–work distance varied among workers and across residential areas between 1990 and 2010. The results indicate growing
variation in home–work distance for workers living in the same residential neighborhoods and that the significance of residential location for the home–work distance decreased throughout the studied period. The results may suggest that there is less scope

This paper assesses the localization pattern of German manufacturing and service industries through the distance-based approach. It is found that the location pattern of 71% of the manufacturing industries departs from randomness in the sense

Using a linear and nonlinear perspective on time–distance relations, the AA. define a new pair of contrasting notions : monotonic versus nonmonotonic accessibility to investigate diverging commuting experiences. They demonstrate this idea

This paper takes the firm perspective and examines cognitive distance regarding not only the host region, but also the knowledge of the firms involved. It uses qualitative information from an extensive study of Chinese affiliates in Frankfurt

profile with distance or travel time from the CBD, population loss bottomed at 4–5 kilometers (10–15 minutes) from the CBD and recovered towards both the CBD and suburbs. This suggests possible converging forces of suburbanization (that is, a nationwide

The A. examined the relative influence of 8 spatial characteristics on native plant diversity in 22 volcanic high islands of eastern Polynesia : island area, highest elevation, distance to the nearest continent, distance to the nearest archipelago
, distance to the nearest similar island, index of isolation, distance to the largest and highest island of Tahiti, and distance to the cyclonic alley. Among characteristics studied, native plant diversity (indigenous and endemic species) was primarily linked

Esophageal cancer spatial and correlation analyses : Water pollution, mortality rates, and safe buffer distances in China
, and national water quality grades in China's primary rivers and lakes. Esophageal cancer data were grouped based on different water quality grades, which included a scaled buffer distance from rivers and lakes. The results revealed a significant positive
correlation between widespread water pollution and esophageal cancer mortality nationwide; and a significant negative correlation between esophageal cancer mortality, and buffer distance from rivers and lakes.

The paper gives an overview on the birth of financial geography as an established subdiscipline of Earth Sciences and introduces the main topical issues in financial geographical research. It highlights the decisive role of geographical distance
in accessing soft and confidential information and shows that, by the same token, from greater distances only hard and public information is accessible. The A. examines the main factors of spatial concentration and deconcentration (dispersions) of financial
