Abstract: This research examines the spatial distribution of employment in Tehran metropolitan region as one of the most populated regions in West Asia. For this aim, our approach includes three steps; first, the paper investigates the level of monocentricity or the primacy of the main core, then, the paper utilises various methodologies to identify the employment subcenters in the region; and finally, the importance of identified centres is estimated by polycentric employment function. To do this, data obtained from Statistical Centre of Iran for 2006 and 2011 is provided in sub-district level, the smallest geographical unit. Results revealed that monocentric model is not able to explain the spatial distribution of employment in TMR; also, the main core loses its importance with the passage of time. Applying different methodologies for TMR identified 3 subcenters in 2006; whereas, it reached to 7 subcenters in 2011. In the last step, the deployed polycentric employment function explained 42% and 51% of tot...

Urban morphology and landscape structure effect on land surface temperature: Evidence from Shiraz, a semi-arid city
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between the pattern of built-up areas and land surface temperature in a semi-arid urban environment was investigated, where spectral and landscape indices, such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), NDBI, Shannon diversity index (SHDI), Landscape Shape Index (LSI), Fractal Dimension Index (FRAC), and Landscape Division Index (DIVISION), along with morphological variables (parcel density, housing density, road density, Floor area ratio, Mass-Space proportion, and distance to CBD) were applied to

Measuring urban polycentrism: a European case study and its implications
TL;DR: In this article, a method of identifying subcentres in suburban areas is presented, which is then applied to the question of whether sub-centres exist on the periphery of medium-sized European cities and if so, what kind of activities are located there.

Eric Marcon,Florence Puech +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce two new measures of spatial concentration, which constitute an extension to Ripley's functions and allow the evaluation of the relative geographic concentration and co-location of industries in a non-homogeneous spatial framework.
