Abstract: Complex networks theory allows researchers to deal with systems characterised by uncertainty and unpredictability. It also enables investigating interactions between transport networks and their topology. Recently it has been used to analyse socio-economic processes in urban, regional, and environmental planning. In the light of these advances, the aim of this paper is to present the results of the application of complex networks theory techniques to the characterisation of topological, traffic and spatial properties of commuters' systems in insular Italy.

Keywords: complex networks; commuting networks; weighted networks; spatial networks; urban management; Italy; transport networks; commuters. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
