Playing around with applying our method from doi.org/10.1177/239980… for a new project; we can use it to map, e.g., (2016) walking commutes by electoral division in #Dublin using flowmapper.org

We can also combine this with our cost-distance method (self-promotion! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) to find the cost of traveling a given distance (based on opportunity cost of travel time, buying walking shoes, etc.) to see where walking infrastructure/service is relatively poor

From this it looks like more suburban/outlying areas (that likely have more disconnected street patterns) are relatively more costly to walk

Here are (again, 2016) public transit commuting flows in Dublin (left)...and transit flows with the largest 500 average waiting times at 09:00 on Nov. 29 (right)

These patterns (including overall cost-distance ratio here) have important implications for #equity, #sustainableLiving, and improving non-auto transportation across the region. It will also be interesting to see what changes the @CSOIreland 2022 Census results bring!
