Brisbane, some increased internal commuting has also developed in these
areas. The change in commuting flows in the Brisbane's west was not
significant.

In the last section, we demonstrated a range of GIS techniques applied to
model and explore the spatial dynamics of urban transport activities over a
large region. In this section, we focus on the GIS analysis of spatial dynamics
of transport activities at local scale using disaggregated Brisbane City Cycle
travel data. In different to the motorized transport (e.g. private cars), the non-
motorized transport such as walking and cycling appear to be route flexible
and more sensitive to the external conditions (such as wether and temperature).
Therefore, the transport patterns are considered more complex and dynamic
over space and time. A more spatial-temporal dedicated technique is needed to
capture the temporal-spatial dynamics.
