National Migration in rural Germany -A complex network perspective on interdependencies for elderly migration and well-being
Spatial planning decisions have to consider complex networks of influences in order to deliver sustainable results. For example, the construction of a retirement home may cause older people to migrate from the aging single-family home areas (SFHA) in the surrounding region.The answer to the question if and where to migrate is an individual human decision and thus depends not only on the surrounding circumstances and influences but also on the experiencesand knowledge every individual has. Therefore, the analysis has to incorporate data on the influences as well as data on the individual subjects as well. There are several approaches inthe field of well-being and quality of life research. Th…
Analysis of the German Commuter Network Period 2013 -2021
Understanding the behavior of commuters is crucial as the number of commuters steadily rises, causing significant traffic congestion in many cities. Indeed, commuter behavior is vital in city and transport planning and policy-making. Previous studies have investigated various factors that may impact commuting decisions. Still, these studies are often limited by the scale of data examined, including time duration, space, and the number of commuters. To address this gap, we gathered large-scale inter-city commuting data in Germany and analyzed the weighted commuting network from 2013 to 2021. This work relies on publicly available data so that the results can be reproduced.
