Identifying a fly-in/fly-out source-hub community: The case of Deer Lake, Newfoundland and Labrador
Fly-in/Fly-out (FIFO) is a commuting arrangement involving the movement of employees to and from their place of work by airplane, often on a rotational basis. Extensive research on FIFO has been conducted in Australia where three community types have been identified: source (or home) communities, ho...
