Abstract

This study is motivated by insufficiencies in two areas in the literature. First, some technical barriers have hindered investigations of changing job–housing patterns over time. Second, traditional dichotomous studies (black–white) of ethnically divided commuting patterns are insufficient to paint the big picture of such dynamics in a multiethnicity metropolitan area. This research fills the gap by presenting an approach to the spatio-temporal analysis of commuting patterns by ethnicity. A case study is performed to track changing commuting patterns for whites, blacks, and Latinos in Atlanta over the last two decades. The results shed light on our understanding of the changing job–housing dynamics, particularly that of Latinos.

本研究由两个领域中不充足的文献所驱动。首先, 部分的技术障碍阻碍了对工作—住宅模式随着时间改变的研究。再者, 传统对于依种族划分的通勤模式之二分法研究 (黑人—白人), 在多元族裔的大都会地区中, 已不足以描绘上述动态关係的完整图像。本研究旨在透过呈现通勤模式在族裔方面的空间—时间分析, 以填补此一阙如。本文所进行之案例研究, 追溯过去二十多年来亚特兰大市中白人、黑人与拉丁美洲人改变中的通勤模式。研究结果将协助我们理解改变中的工作—住宅动态, 特别是拉丁美洲社群的动态。

Las insuficiencias detectadas en dos sectores de la literatura motivan el presente estudio. Primero, a través del tiempo algunas barreras técnicas han obstaculizado las investigaciones sobre el cambio de los patrones empleo-vivienda. Segundo, los estudios dicotómicos tradicionales (negro-blanco) de los patrones del viaje pendular, étnicamente divididos, son insuficientes para dibujar el cuadro completo de tal dinámica en un área metropolitana dotada de multietnicidad. Esta investigación llena ese vacío al presentar un enfoque para el análisis espacio-temporal de patrones de viaje pendular por etnicidad. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de caso para trazar los cambiantes patrones de este tipo de desplazamiento pendular entre blancos, negros y latinos, registrados en Atlanta durante las últimas dos décadas. Los resultados arrojan luz para nuestro entendimiento de la cambiante dinámica trabajo-vivienda, en particular la que corresponde a los latinos.
