title: The relationship between commuters and rural areas
creator: Spek, Serra van der
description: Commuters can have either a positive or a negative correlation with the development of rural areas, which is displayed in this research by the average standardized household income and average house prices in rural areas. A survey has been conducted to research the socio-economic characteristics of the commuters in Northern Netherlands. The results show that there is neither a correlation between the distance between work and home and the disposable income of the respondents, nor between the distance and the percentage that the respondents do their grocery shopping in the municipality they live in. Additionally, to explore the relationship between the commuters and the house prices, and the standardized household income, a Pearson correlation has been executed. The results show that on the scale of rural areas in Northern Netherlands, there is no correlation between the variables. Only when looking at different scales, a positive correlation between the variables appears.
