Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Southern Ontario's Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) is the most heavily populated and urbanized region in Canada. Given its large population size, economic importance, and projected population growth, the Ontario provincial government recognized the need to plan for the growth of jobs and people to avoid the adverse effects of urban sprawl, traffic gridlock, and the loss of farmland and natural areas. Ontario's 2005Greenbelt Plan and 2006 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Places to Grow)established the legislative framework to guide development and population growth within southern Ontario. While directing development and promoting population growth in specified areas, an unintended consequence of these legislative plans may, however, be increased commuting distance as workers commute from beyond the Greenbelt into the employment dense areas inside the Greenbelt. This article focuses upon the intersection between migration and commuting distance in southern Ontario's GGH region, within the context of ongoing population growth, and Greenbelt and Places to Grow legislation. Results indicate that migrants moving beyond the Greenbelt have generally longer commute distances, with implications for the sustainability of communities and government policies aimed at reducing the carbon footprint.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
