Abstract
Paper authors introduce the transitional research approach – the spatial econometric analysis (SEA) – upon commuting study within a regional workforce market. The authors emphasize that both the labor migration and the commuting are two dominant issues upon studying of any workforce market either at its national level, or at the regional one. In authors’ opinion, if we attempt to understand the lower, regional migration level, we have to choose just commuting as its dominant trend. SEA has been introduced as a subject field related to both Human Geography and Regional Studies, it also involves the applied GIS-science instruments as the mandatory research tools. The relationship between the usual labor migration and commuting has been shortly examined on the theoretical level only. This research has been provided with the use of geographical information system (GIS) software for spatial modeling, analysis and visualization. Several levels of the regional commuting geodatabase update with both empirical and derivative data have been described, and its relevant mathematical content introduced. Authors’ empirical / analytical GIS-model of regional commuting has become a key component of SEA completed consequently for two scale levels: for a single administrative district (“rajon”) => for whole Kharkiv administrative oblast – a region. Different visuals represent in details all commuting trends and peculiarities within Kharkiv region borders. Authors’ theoretical / empirical model has estimated an approximated number of regular daily-weekly commuters to Kharkiv-city from the region around one hundred and thirty thousand in the period of 2012-2014. The paper conclusion outlines that further commuting research needs to extend authors’ model presented with much broader number of cross-regional commuting factors. First of all, those commuting determinants caused by the war going on the East – the area neighboring to our region – must be taken into account in one way, or in another.
