This paper explores residential and job location patterns and commuting behavior in a monocentric urban model with decentralized employment. We show that, in some cases, identical households choose different residential rings depending on their workers’ job locations. This means that high-income households whose workers work near the central business district (CBD) may choose residential locati...

Since the IEEE ratification of the 802.11 standard in 1999, continuous exploits have been discovered compromising the confidentiality, integrity and availability of 802.11 networks. This paper describes the justification for a project to assess the security status of wireless network usage in society. It reviews the status of both commercial and residential approaches to wireless network securi...

This study explored the relationship between social capital and aspects of the built environment, focusing in particular on the walkability of suburbs as determined by street network design and the mix of land uses. We measured social capital and feelings of personal safety in 335 residents of three suburbs in metropolitan Perth, WA, and collected objective and perceived data on the built envir...

Studies report that urban areas may not provide breeding habitat for interior-forest birds, but some residential neighborhoods do have sufficient vegetation to serve as forest birds and even specialists. The authors investigated the occurrence of three specialists, pileated woodpeckers, summer tanagers, northern parulas, during season in two suburban Gainesville, Florida, found all species occu...

A study was undertaken to assess the health impact of utilization of the raw domestic sewage for vegetable cultivation in the suburbs of the capital city of Asmara, Eritrea. Standard techniques were adopted for the analysis of the samples. Results showed heavy contamination of vegetables by faecal coliforms as well as with Giardia cysts. Stool samples of 75 farmers who were occupationally expos...

School Neighbourhood Nutrition Environments (SNNEs) can facilitate or impede healthy eating. This study describes the SNNEs surrounding 6 Good Start Program (GSP) schools in 5 suburbs in Logan, Queensland. Relative density of healthy and unhealthy food outlets was calculated for SNNEs surrounding GSP (6) and non-GSP (10) schools within the 5 suburbs. Relative accessibility of minimally processe...

balance in these areas appears to be affected by the “move to the suburbs.” The figures on migration between States with common borders often reflect this type of movement. When, for example, roughly 1,400 aged beneficiaries moved from the District of Columbia to Maryland during the survey year and only 400 moved into that jurisdiction from Maryland, the result was a net, loss of 1,000 for the ...

The spatial mismatch hypothesis of John Kain proposes that geographic separation between residential locations and jobs creates a barrier in accessing job opportunities, which has negative impact on labor market outcomes. A key is Black populations have limited accessibility to suburban opportunities due segregation the city, resulting lower employment earnings. However, structure U.S. metropol...
