The correlation coefficients for Vlieland-West are somewhat lower, but significant in two out of three cases. Density changes in the low-density area Vlieland-East are not correlated with changes in the other areas, not even with the neighbouring area Vlieland-West. We conclude that density changes are to a large extent determined by general factors, but that local factors must playa greater role in Vlieland-East. Table 1.
