One of the processes in valuation analysis using market approach is adjustment comparison object data. Adjustments are made to transactional and non-transactional factors. For factors including location, land area, shape, soil type, contour, elevation from road surface, accessibility, facilities. This study aims determine level importance factor on value residential, commercial, industrial, agr...

This thesis examines several distinct aspects of agglomeration externalities within an urban economy. In particular, the work focuses on location decisions of agents who face trade-offs between advantages in dense locations versus cheaper land prices available in suburban and exurban regions of the city. Two general equilibrium models of location are presented which study different aspects of l...

Six explanations for differences in worktrips between men and women and among different groups of women workers are reviewed in this paper. The first argues that women’s secondary role in the labor force and the dual roles women assume (combining paid work with domestic responsibilities) reinforce their resistance to long worktrips. The second explanation is that women’s economic returns to com...

Humans are social animals. We routinely interact with others learning about one another, about places, where to go and what places to avoid. Our activities are coordinated with others; sometimes because we explicitly seek to physically meet with those we know personally, other times the coordination is systemic because of norms and requirements of when those activities can take place (e.g. shop...

In criminology, the real life CSI currently faces an interesting phase, where mathematicians are entering the cold-blooded field of forensics. Geographic profiling uses existing geocoded data to predict, solve and prevent crime. In this study, we examine probability distance strategies and a Bayesian approach used to predict the residential location of a serial offender. We compare different di...

There is need for the assessment of long-term effects of outdoor air pollution. In fact, a considerable part of the large amount of U.S. research money that has been dedicated to investigate effects of ambient particulate pollution should be invested to address long-term effects. Studies that follow the health status of large numbers of subjects across long periods of time (i.e., cohort studies...

Specifications of accessibility indices range from simple minimum travel-time indices, to measures of cumulative opportunities within specified distance or time thresholds, to maximum utility measures. This paper presents models relating a variety of general accessibility indices for the Dallas-Fort Worth region of Texas to property valuations for single-family dwelling units and commercial uni...
