Abstract

A method for functional regionalization based on higher-order factor analysis is proposed. The utility of the method when using alternative factorial procedures is described by reference to a study of journey-to-work flows in South Wales in 1971, in which the stability of the results under alternative factorial procedures is explored. The advantages of the higher-order factorial approach compared with previously suggested methodologies are documented.
