Activity Spaces and Residential Preferences: Some Tests of the Hypothesis of Sectoral Mental Maps

Many studies of intraurban migration have shown that movement patterns are generally far from random. Among the spatial biases which have been observed, the most common is a distance-decay pattern in which short moves predominate. Directional biases have also been noted. Their existence is explicit in Hoyt's [15] sector theory of urban form and growth; Simmons [28], too, has suggested that directional bias in intraurban migration results from sectoral variations in the socioeconomic characteristics of
