Barriers to communication
Abstract There are many diverse forms of barrier which impede the communications process. These barriers are particularly important in the context of the spatial sciences, but our understanding of their nature and significance is scant, as is out knowledge of the most appropriate way to handle them in modelling and policy assessment exercises. The actual literature on barriers to communications is relatively substantial, but it is spread across a wide range of disciplines and set in a variety of different contexts. This review attempts to bring together some of this material. It does not consider technical questions concerning the appropriate way to embrace barrier concepts in spatial models but rather looks at the nature of barriers and how they have been studied. Understanding of these more basic issues is a necessary precondition to the development of improved spatial models of communications.
