摘要：Commuting refers to the act of daily intercity traveling for employment purposes and constitutes a multidimensional phenomenon that is determined by a set of socioeconomic and geopolitical factors.This article studies how the commuting phenomenon is affected by changes in transport infrastructures and, in particular, after the construction of the Ionian Motorway that suggests one of the biggest infrastructure-works of the modern history at the West Greece and Epirus.A multi-regressive methodological framework is constructed for the analysis of commuting flows, applying three different versions of linear and generalized linear regression models, where the significant predictor variables elected per model are compared and found to converge into a single Newtonian gravity model.Finally, this paper estimates and illustrates the changes of the Ionian Motorway’s construction, based on the commuting model that was constructed at the multi-regressive analysis.
