Abstract :
The telecommuting research project to be described here was partially funded by the National Science Foundation and was concerned with the locations of businesses within cities with particular emphasis on the phenomenon of commutation to work. The major questions addressed by the project are: How easily and how effectively and under what circumstances can we substitute a computer terminal or similar device for a private automobile in the work situation? What is likely to be the consequence of this replacement if it occurs on a large scale? A case study is presented.
