%X This study extends previous works developed by the authors analysing the interplay between the dynamics and the economics of the real network underlying the  regional intermunicipal commuting system of Sardinia, Italy. Further insights have been earned into the influence of the network spatial properties, by means of network  modeling in GIS environment, which takes into account the intermunicipal distance features of the corresponding physical transport network. The authors discuss how modelling complex networks in a GIS environment may be  considered an innovative approach in the field, as it allows to better think spatially about complex network models. In this perspective, they outlook a a working  framework on the possible integration settings between GIS and complex networks models.
