title: Spatial chain patterns of intra-urban migration.
abstract: "This research analyzes quantitatively the track of individual chain-type migration of many residents to determine how they move in response to changes in their lives, i.e., whether there is spatial regularity on the chain patterns of intra-urban migration. The study area for this research is the industrial city of Yokkaichi, Japan. The study helps us to understand the state of intra-urban migration at the non-aggregate level for all residents during a 15-year period. Special attention is given to the age at which a resident relocates, and to the interval between two successive movements, i.e., the stationary period."
