Commuting for work and study: methodological strategies from demographic census of 2000 and 2010

Abstract

The population movements in space constitute a social process linked to the urban and regional structure. These movements result from social, political and economic transformations, but also influence the organization of society in space. In this context, the commuting is an expression of the daily mobility and are related to the different forms of appropriation of the urban and regional space. The objective of this text is to present some conceptual approaches and methodological orientations for the analysis of commuting for work and study, based on information from the Census of 2000 and 2010. Therefore, the methodology adopted consists of an operational systematization for treatment of census microdata relating to commuting.
