Abstract: The concept of spatial interaction is certainly one of the most important research topics in the regional science field. As stated by Olsson (1970; p.223 reported by Fotheringham and O’Kelly 1989): The concept of spatial interaction is central for everyone concerned with theoretical geographical and regional science … Under the umbrella of spatial interaction and distance decay, it has been possible to accommodate most model work in transportation, migration, commuting, and the diffusion, as well as significant aspects of location theory.
