Abstract

CASADO-DÍAZ J. M. (2000) Local Labour Market Areas in Spain: a case study, Reg. Studies 34, 843-856. This paper presents the results of a regionalization exercise carried out in Spain following the methodology used to define Travel-to-Work Areas (TTWAs) in the UK. These areas are defined so that most jobs are filled by residents of that area and most of the resident working population work in the area. For the regionalization a set of commuting data derived from the 1991 Census of Population for the region of Valencia has been used. Due to missing data for some regions it is not possible to conduct a regionalization covering the whole of Spain. Regionalizations have been produced not only for the aggregate population but also for the different sub-groups into which the employed population has been divided in the Census, according to gender, occupation and industry. CASADO-DÍAZ J. M. (2000) Les bassins d'emplois locaux en Espagne: une étude de cas, Reg. Studies 34, 843-856. Cet article cherche à présenter les résultats provenant d'une étude de régionalisation menée en Espagne qui poursuit la méthodologie employée au Royaume-Uni afin de délimiter les zones au sein desquelles se font les déplacements pour aller au travail. Ces zones-là sont délimitées de sorte que les habitants locaux occupent la plupart des emplois et que la majorité de la population active occupée locale travaillent au sein de la zone. Quant à la régionalisation, on a employé un ensemble de données relatives aux migrations quotidiennes qui provient du recensement de la population 1991 pour la région de Valence. Vu la non-disponibilité de données pour certaines régions, il s'avère impossible d'effectuer une régionalisation qui couvre toute l'Espagne. On a fait des régionalisations non seulement de la population globale, mais aussi des sous-groupes employés dans le recensement pour catégoriser la population active en fonction du genre, de l'emploi et de l'industrie. CASADO-DÍAZ J. M. (2000) Gebiete örtlicher Arbeitsmärkte in Spanien: eine Fallstudie, Reg Studies 34, 843-856. Dieser Aufsatz stellt die Ergebnisse eines Regionalisierungsverfahrens vor, die in Spanien in Anlehnung an die im Vereinigten Königreich von Großbritannien benutzte Methodik zur Bestimmung der Arbeitweggebiete (Travel-to-Work Areas=TTWAs) verwendet wurde. Die Definition dieser Gebiete erfolgt auf der Grundlage von Arbeitsplätzen, die größenteils an im Gebiete ansässige Einwohner vergeben werden, and der ansässigen, erwerbstätigen Bevölkerung, die größenteils in diesem Gebiete arbeitet. Zur Regionalisierung wurde eine Serie Pendlerdaten herangezogen, die der Volkszählung vom Jahre 1991 in Gebiet von Valencia entnommen wurden. Mangels fehlender Daten für einige Gebiete war es nicht möglich, eine Regionaliseriung ganz Spaniens durchzuführen. Regionalisierungen sind nicht nur für Gesamtbevölkerungen, sondern auch für verschiedene Unterabteilungen, welche die Volkszählung bei der erwerbstätigen Bevölkerung berücksichtigte, nach Geschlecht, Berufstätigkeit und Industrie durchgeführt worden.
