In 1989 three government offices, located in The Hague and Dordrecht were relocated to one central office in Rotterdam. In 1994 (four and a half year later) research on the medium term effects on employees was carried out. Analysis shows that more than 50% of the employees did not move nor changed job. Almost 25% moved and did not change job. About 15% of the employees changed job, and 4% stopped working. After the office relocation commuting travel distances and times have increased, the `moving behaviour' and the `job behaviour' is significantly related to person and household variables and to distance variables. Besides, loglinear analysis shows that many person, household and distance variables interact. When in a land usetransport scenario study firms are relocated over 15 to 25 kilometres, the effects on residential of employees (and so mobility effects) should be considered.
