Abstract

Information which has been diffused through a population about an idea has been accepted, and the idea adopted, by some members of the population under some circumstances (Hagerstrand, 1967.)

The spatial relationship between a doctor and his patients in Hamilton City were examined to see if information about this particular doctor, when diffused through the urban residential area, had been the basis for a significant number of his patients attending his surgery rather than the surgery of the doctor nearest to them.
