This map shows the residential distribution of staff working for an organisation in Hong Kong. This organisation has two offices, represented in square. The yellow dots are the locations of staff who work in "yellow square" office and light green dots in "light green square" office.
Light blue circle represents the 2Km buffer zone from the centre of work location, and orange border circle represents 5Km zone. This map shows that a majority (69%) of staff live within 5Km of their work location.
Interestingly, some studies have suggested that there could be positive or negative association between commuting and one's health.
地圖顯示香港某機構的員工居住地點分佈。這所機構有兩個辦事處，分別以黃色方格及綠色方格代表。黃色點是在黃色方格工作的職員，而淺綠色點則代表在淺綠色方格工作的職員。淺藍色圈是從工作地點起兩公里的範圍區，而橙色圈代表五公里的範圍區。此圖表示大多數員工（百份之六十九）都是居於工作地點的五公里內。
有趣地，有些研究顯示上下班時間和方式與個人健康有關連。

Commuting and health 通勤與健康
Commuting refers to the back and forth travelling between, say, home and workplace. There are debates on the association between commuting and health. Some suggest that long hours of commuting especially in a confined space (e.g. a packed train), traffic jams and delays can be causes of emotional stress. On the other hand, commuters may be more physically fit in general as they need to cope with the longer distance of travelling (e.g. to and from the station/ work location, up and down stairs), which constitute exercise.
通勤一般是指上落班所需的往來交通，有關通勤和健康的關係有極大的爭議。有意見認為在一個局限的空間（如擠滿的火車）作長時間的通勤，加上交通堵塞及延誤，容易導致情緒緊張。而另一類說法，則認為通勤者由於要面對長距離的路程（如往返車站及工作地點，上落樓梯），運動量較多，所以一般都會相對健康。
