Abstract: THIS INVESTIGATION ANALYZES THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN LAND USE, TRAVEL, AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS THAT AFFECT WORK-TRIP MAKING IN URBAN AREAS. IT CONSIDERS THE BEHAVIOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL TRIP-MAKER AS WELL AS THE BEHAVIOR OF CLUSTERS OF TRIP-MAKERS WORKING AT 20 LARGE WORK CENTERS IN THE ATLANTA REGION. THE RESEARCH INDICATED THAT 16 EMPLOYEE VARIABLES COLLAPSED INTO ONLY NINE INDEPENDENT FACTORS AND THAT FAMILY INCOME WAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT INDICATOR OF THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC VARIABLES. THE INVESTIGATION ALSO SHOWS THAT THE OCCUPATION LEVEL OF THE EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS THE AVERAGE DISTANCE TRAVELED BETWEEN HOME AND PLACE OF WORK SHOULD BE USED IN ADDITION TO THE FLOOR SPACE IN EXPLAINING AND PREDICTING NUMBER OF WORK TRIPS ATTRACTED BY LARGE WORK CENTERS. /AUTHOR/
