Combining the results of the dominant flow with the coefficient of variation yields interesting information on, first of all, regions with high concentration on the selected dominant flow. This could serve as an analogue to resilience.
We define 'resilience' as a region’s capacity to recover quickly from a crisis connected with particular flows. Therefore, we consider that a region’s exposure to interregional dynamics or resilience depends on the diversity of its external relations. By this approach, regions with a balanced composition of flows, instead of a concentration on one, are less exposed to external shocks or policy decisions affecting one flow in particular. In general, metropolises, including state capitals, have a much greater dispersion in their involvement in particular flows, while low-population, peripheral areas are likely to have a high concentration on one flow.
