Spatial interactions include different types of movements such as travel, migration, transmission of information, journeys to work or shopping, retailing activities, or freight distribution. Our knowledge about spatial interaction can be generally or highly particularistic (specific). Normally, it seems easy to state why a particular movement takes place: the heart of a …
