The building of such analytical frameworks bridging the gaps between scientific traditions is a very ambitious task and has not been very successful up till now. In the past - in a static context - several such principles have been defined and advocated at the edge of

Next, Chapter 4 will be devoted to a further exploration of the relationships between discrete choice models and spatial interaction analysis.

Such behavioural notions appeared to be particularly interesting from a macro-systems viewpoint. Individual motives (or utility functions) played a

Entropy and Generalized Cost Minimization Models at the Macro Levelhat the entropy concept was compatible with a behavioural interpretation of spatial interaction. In the present chapter an attempt will be made to start off from the entropy philosophy itself and to find a behavioural rationale for entropy maximisation as such.
