“…There is also evidence that high skilled workers may be more footloose and willing to Summary,conclusions and commentary | 97 tolerate longer commutes and choose their residential location on the basis of amenities and the quality of housing (van Oort et al, 2003). This corresponds with the evidence for Ireland, where a negative correlation between population density and population growth has been increasing, which is consistent with projected spatial patterns of population growth (Map 4.3).…”

“…Although socioeconomic, demographic, and environmental characteristics still largely determine residential locational preferences (Kim et al 2005), this may change as a result of recent socioeconomic changes caused by ICTs, especially the use of ICTs for telecommuting (Castells and Hall 1994;Johnston et al 1994;Mohammad et al 2003;Van Oort et al 2003b). …”

Traditionally, along with stages of the life cycle and changes in people's Wnancial status and their household composition, the commute distance has been identiWed as one of the main explanatory factors for residential locational preferences and subsequent migration Xows. In the Netherlands, telecommuting is rapidly becoming popular and is expected to aVect residential locational preferences. A hypothesis that can be raised is that telecommuting has an impact on the eVect that commute distance has on residential preferences. Based on this hypothesis, this paper investigates the role of telecommuting alongside the traditional factors currently explaining residential locational preferences. The paper provides evidence that, in the Netherlands, telecommuting has enabled people to commute longer distances. The eVect of telecommuting on the probability of relocating, however, is not signiWcant. Telecommuting appears to have a limited eVect on residential location preferences, but traditional factors, such as life cycle stages, remain the dominant explanatory factors.

“…Studies about the residential preferences of knowled ge-workers at the intra-regional level are scarce (Tomaney & Bradley, 2007;van Oort, Weterings, & Verlinde, 2003 ) and reveal contradic ting trends regarding their potential impact on urban developmen t. Tomaney and Bradley (2007) present evidence regarding the residence of knowledge-wor kers in gated-com munities. Felsenstein (2002) provides evidence from the US that high-techno logy workers tend to reside in the suburbs and encourage sprawl.…”
