“…According to the literature analysis, "home", which Harrison (2002) considers as a place to both recuperate and work, is the most common name for this type of office space. Another approach has been to refer to an activity, as in the terms job from home (Nilles et al, 1976a), work-at-home (Coates, 1993), home-based telecommuting (Kurland and Bailey, 1999) and homeworking (Gibson and Lizieri, 2001;Haynes and Nunnington, 2010), or to an employee's character, such as by using the term home-based teleworker (del Aguila Obra et al, 2002). In addition, a home office has also been referred to as a home remote work centre (Healy, 1968) or a personal centre (Harrison, 2002;Hardy et al, 2008).…”

“…Flexible office is a term that is used in this article to aggregate several overlapping concepts that are used in the literature to describe office spaces that are used by more than one specific group of people and equipped with telecommunication equipment (Di Martino and Wirth, 1990;Aguila Obra et al, 2002).…”

“…Based on the literature, flexible offices have been called neighbourhood (remote work) centres (Mokhtarian, 1991;Lindström et al, 1997), telecottages (Di Martino and Wirth, 1990;Lindström et al, 1997), suburban centres (Coates, 1993), regional telework centres (Lindström and Rapp, 1996), resort offices (Lindström et al, 1997), local work centres (Stocks, 1998), incubator spaces (Harrison, 2002), teleworking centres (del Aguila Obra et al, 2002), serviced offices (Harrison, 2002;Haynes and Nunnington, 2010), business centres (Harrison et al, 2004), collaboration centres (Harrison, 2002;Hardy et al, 2008), project centres (Harrison, 2002;Harrison et al, 2004) and networked offices (Myerson et al, 2010).…”

AbstractPurpose -This research aims to aggregate and categorise distinct places for multi-locational work from the 1960s until today. Based on an understanding of the user needs connected to these locations, the paper aims to identify the service concepts and workplace design solutions by which these needs can be met. Design/methodology/approach -The literature review is based on academic journal papers, reports and books related to the topic. Findings -The paper categorises the main multi-locational workplace locations, namely, organisational offices, home offices, mobile workplaces and flexible offices. The user needs in these locations vary from concept to concept, and therefore, the service offers are distinct. Based on the results, the service provision of organisational offices and flexible offices should focus on providing users with the chance for socialisation using collaborative space solutions and community management policies. In the cases of home offices and mobile workplaces, service provision should instead emphasise ensuring functionalities such as efficient virtual connectivity and accessibility. Additionally, more concept-specific user needs are identified. Research limitations/implications -The paper offers an overview of and framework for future research and concept development. The limitations of cultural differences could have been investigated more. Practical implications -The results provide insight into the purposes of facilities management and workplace design when developing service concepts for multi-locational workplaces. Originality/value -The paper establishes a literature-based framework for the service concepts of places for multi-locational work.

“…Razak (2008) identified six factors influencing the success of telecenters as following: community involvement, the local championship (support from local leaders, politicians and state representatives), leadership of telecenter operator, management of telecenter, adequate infrastructure, and local content. Del Aguila Obra et al (2002) concluded in their research that the most important aspect for the success of telecenters is "the capacity to understand the community where it is to be set up, and to adapt itself accordingly" (p. 796).…”

“…Desde un punto de vista geográfico, la consolidación progresiva de una flexibilidad espacial (Del Águila et al, 2002) relativamente específica, parece ser la tendencia esperada de la emergencia del teletrabajo como estrategia empresarial y, de la misma manera, la consolidación de un patrón de localización disperso de la fuerza de trabajo ocupada por la empresa que teletrabaja, debería ser la consecuencia lógica de esta modalidad específica de organización del trabajo. Sin embargo, queda pendiente el estudio de las relaciones entre las modalidades específicas de teletrabajo y los patrones de localización empresarial y de la organización espacial del mercado laboral resultantes en cada caso.…”

RESUMENEn el tránsito del siglo XX al siglo XXI la institución social del mercado de trabajo en los espacios urbanos ha experimentado profundas modificaciones como consecuencia de transformaciones ocurridas en diversos ámbitos de la vida social. El teletrabajo es un fenómeno que se ha desarrollado durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX e impacta la organización espacial de los mercados laborales urbanos. En estas líneas está contenida una discusión de aspectos teóricos y prácticos del teletrabajo que resultan relevantes para la investigación geográfica. En este contexto, la movilidad urbana producida por la interacción entre el lugar de residencia y el lugar de trabajo es un hecho esencial para el análisis, mas no es el único, ya que se suman a este la base tecnológica que soporta distintas modalidades de teletrabajo y los cambios en los modelos de organización del trabajo. Aquí se evalúan algunas ventajas y desventajas de la puesta en vigor de programas de teletrabajo y se sugieren líneas o ámbitos de investigación posibles desde la geografía.Palabras clave: Mercados de trabajo urbanos, teletrabajo urbano, movilidad urbana. ABSTRACTDuring the transition from the 20 th century to the 21 st century the social institution of labor market has experimented important modifications in urban spaces as a consequence of the transformations occurred in different aspects of social life. Teleworking is a phenomenon that has developed during the second half of the twentieth century and has impacted the spatial organization of the urban labor markets. This study contains a discussion of theoretical and practical aspects of telework that are important for geographical research. In this context, urban mobility produced by home place-workplace interaction is an essential fact for the analysis; nonetheless technological base is added because it supports the different teleworking forms and the changes in the work organization patterns. An evaluation of advantages and disadvantages on the implementation of teleworking is made as well as a proposal for lines and areas of possible investigations with a geographical point of view.Key words: Urban labour markets, urban teleworking, urban mobility.Revista de Geografía Norte Grande, 45: 119-134 (2010 En el contexto de la sociedad moderna y también en el marco de las principales líneas de investigación geográfica de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, no es novedoso plantear una discusión acerca de las interpelaciones espaciales que resultan de la organización social en general así como de la organización económi-ca en particular. En este contexto, el estudio de los mercados laborales ya se ha consolidado como línea de investigación en el ámbito de la
