Abstract
A general framework is presented which integrates destination choice and travel behavior with a more general model of the behavior of households. The general approach treats households as producers which use tangible goods as inputs to produce the more abstract commodities which are the direct objects of utility. The approach is adapted for spatial choice behavior by defining the inputs to household production as place-bound entities. Consumption of these inputs requires expenditures of both time and money at particular locations. Households' choices are subject to time constraints as well as monetary constraints, and additional constraints ensure that the necessary travel takes place. Household equilibrium involves the selection of places and the associated demand theory accommodates statements about the demand for places and the demand for travel.
