Of course, there are clearly overlapping concerns and it is often difficu lt to discern the disciplinary origins of a researcher by solely examining the kinds of questions he or she raises about mobility, although it is usually easier to identify a researchers discipline by noting the methods used and the concepts employed Urban mobility first appears in the sociological literature as a term expressing rather generalized qualities of urban, as opposed the non-urban life. Some sociologists refer to the mobility of the city as the considerable sum of myriad and incessant sources of stimulation impinging upon the urban dweller, a sort of sensory overload which produces sophistication, indifference and a lowered level of affection in urban dwellers. There is simply so much to experience that the urban dweller's capacity is reduced to react in a" spontaneous"and natural way to urban existence It is mobility in this sense that produces some of the special qualities of urban life which on the other hand appeal to migrants as an escape from the dullness and oppression of rural existence with its lack of change and stimulation, and on the other hand produces anomie and alienation in a society where men see each other primarily as means to ends rather than as ends in themselves. Of course, mobility in this larger sense of sensory overload is not a concept which lends itself easily to measurement, especially since it is a macro-system property. 26.
