就业部门使用“前往工作地点”（T.T.W.A.s）来报告每月的当地失业统计数字。t.t.w.a.a也被用来划分英国的那些地区，以便在地区政策下从公共工业支出中受益。1984年对T.T.W.A.边界的修订为学者们提供了一个难得的机会，帮助他们合理化官方统计领域。这涉及具体说明区域设计标准，并以区域化方法执行这些标准。研究发现，以当地劳动力市场区域模型为基础的方法产生了一套最合理的边界。这里详细介绍了最终的方法，以及产生新T.T.W.A.s的分析中使用的实际参数值。本文最后考虑了结果的实施情况，并根据旧T.T.W.A.s对新地区进行了评估。
Travel-to-work areas (T.T.W.A.s) are used by the Department of Employment for the reporting of monthly local unemployment statistics. T.T.W.A.s are also used to demarcate those parts of Britain to benefit from the public expenditure on industry under regional policy. The 1984 revision of T.T.W.A. boundaries provided academics with a rare opportunity to help rationalize official statistical areas. This involved the specification of zone-design criteria and the implementation of these in a regionalization methodology. It was found that methods based on the model of local labour market areas yielded the most reasonable set of boundaries. The final methodology is detailed here, together with the actual parameter values used in the analysis that produced the new T.T.W.A.s. The paper ends by considering the implementation of the results, and evaluates the new areas against the old T.T.W.A.s.
