The present article looks to pinpoint explanatory factors for the sharing of escorting of children in dual-earner families. It proposes a detailed analysis of inequalities and interactions in dual-earner families when it comes to escorting children by taking into account the characteristics of trips to and from school for children, the characterist...

In Rio de Janeiro, immobility or the share of people with no journeys on any given day is very high (46%). Immobility has a marked geographical dimension in what is a segregated city. But income has only limited explanatory power. The population structure, with high proportions of people who are not in the labour force and who are unemployed, accou...

Limiting commuting trips in major cities is important from the environmental, social and economic standpoints. In order to design policies that aim to change commuting practices it is, however, necessary to have acquired a good understanding of the trips in question and their determinants. However, these trips have been subjected to very little stu...

Immobility – i.e. no travel outside the home in a 24-hour day – is an important issue because it concerns a large part of the population and tends to recur frequently, as our results show. Two questions related to immobility have been particularly highlighted in the literature: firstly, whether immobility is an artefact of travel surveys; secondly,...

This research provides an exploration of the relationship between flexible work arrangements (FWA), CO2 emissions, and household travel allocation among dual-earner couples. Using data from the United Kingdom National Travel Survey for the period between 2002 and 2017, we develop a path analysis approach based on SEM that allows for a comprehensive...

This research provides new evidence about the relationship between online and in-store shopping. This article uses data for England from the UK National Travel Survey (NTS) which covers a full week and also provides information about grocery shopping practices (online and in-store). We examine the effects of online purchases on the grocery shopping...

Em Fortaleza, tem-se observado um crescimento das desigualdades socioespaciais na acessibilidade às oportunidades de trabalho. Não se sabe, entretanto, o impacto do mercado de trabalho informal nessas desigualdades. Portanto, o objetivo geral deste artigo é caracterizar espacialmente as diferenças nos níveis de acessibilidade ao trabalho formal e i...

This research provides new evidence about the relationship between travel behavior, workplace diversification, and environmental impact in the United Kingdom using data from the National Travel Survey for the period between 2002 and 2017. The path analysis approach based on SEM handles both direct and indirect effects and allows for a comprehensive...

Many poor households cannot meet the requirements of automotive mobility. They suffer great inequalities in their daily mobility, especially when they live away from urban centers, in areas where the provision of public transport and local amenities are reduced. Nevertheless, a normative interpretation in terms of shortages, based on the observatio...

On a longtemps considéré les mobilités à travers les flux dominants, les grands itinéraires, les comportements collectifs, la validation sociale des grandes infrastructures ou plus largement l'étude des processus d'intégration économique et politique. Depuis une dizaine d'années, les études en sciences sociales proposent un renouvell...

In travel surveys, immobility is often approached as a technical issue that needs to be dealt with in order to measure mobility more accurately. By covering mobility patterns over a full week, the 2008 French Travel Survey allows immobility to be analysed other than as a marginal and random phenomenon. For working days alone, 28.8% of the adults in...

Living on low incomes and in a car-dependent area is often interpreted as a double burden for households, even if the two characteristics are often interdependent. While their capacity for mobility is lower, low-income households in outer suburban areas are nonetheless mobile. Their capacities in this domain should not be underestimated or overlook...

Although online purchases still make up only a small share of individuals' purchases, they increasingly represent an alternative to in-store purchases. This alternative seems even more valuable in sparsely populated areas with poorer access to shops. Online purchases may smooth out spatial constraints on access to tangible goods. The efficiency hyp...

“Inclusive mobility” is part of a set of political priorities defined by several European countries to refer to the social dimension of transport or daily mobility policies. More generally, “inclusiveness” refers to social cohesion, which has been one of the declared objectives of the European Union since the beginning of the 2000s. As a way to fac...

This paper analy ses the general increase in distances and duration of commuting based on the Household Surveys of 2002 and 2012 from the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Area. This increase is unequal between populations, depending in particular on the area of residence and level of education. However, even if the assets with low educational levels and...

The expected decline in petroleum resources and concomitant rise in petrol prices for private transport raise questions about the future of car-dependent areas such as the outer suburban fringes of cities. Car ownership is high among urban populations who drive many kilometers every day. Suburbanization is reliant on the intensive use of cars as th...

La diffusion de l'achat en ligne interroge les potentielles spécificités spatiales des pratiques et usages qu'ont les ménages de ce canal d'achat. Plus précisément, l'article a pour ambition de saisir la dimension périurbaine de ces pratiques en les resituant dans leur cadre sociospatial. En nous appuyant sur un travail de terrain tant quantitatif...

Le système automobile a rendu indissociables la voiture et la société et, malgré certaines tendances récentes, la civilisation de la voiture garde d’importantes réserves de croissance. Or, réduire les externalités négatives de l’automobile sur l’environnement ne semble présentement pas à la portée des technologies nouvelles. Pour ce faire, il faudr...

La dépendance automobile des territoires périurbains liée à une absence de commerces et de services pose la question de leur durabilité. Internet et plus particulièrement la vente en ligne serait en mesure de fournir une alternative pour l’approvisionnement des ménages dans ces territoires. En reconfigurant les pratiques et déplacements pour achats...

L’accessibilité géographique des populations aux biens est différenciée selon les espaces. Les populations des centres-villes peuvent accéder à pieds, à proximité de leur domicile à des magasins offrant un large choix de biens, alors que les populations périurbaines doivent parcourir plusieurs kilomètres en voiture pour accéder au premier magasin d...

Cette Traverse interroge la spécificité de l’habiter périurbain : existe-t-il une relation à l’espace dans le périurbain qui soit significativement différente de celle qui caractérise l’urbain d’un côté et le rural de l’autre ? Alors que la question de l’habiter périurbain se rapporte à des enjeux majeurs pour notre société au sens où elle concerne...

The effects of home-delivery on grocery accessibility: a case study of large supermarkets and online grocery stores in the Dijon region People’s access to large supermarkets is spatially differentiated. If a large majority of periurban dwellers do not experience problems in accessing supermarkets, others face greater difficulties. For these latter...

In the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Area, almost half of inhabitants made no trips at all during the day, according to the 2002/2003 Household Travel Survey. This value is similar to that measured in another Brazilian city, São Paulo. The results show that, all other things equal, income has only a slight effect on the probability of being immobile....

People's access to large supermarkets is spatially differentiated. If a large majority of periurban dwellers do not experience problems in accessing supermarkets, others face greater difficulties. For these latter households, home delivery of groceries may improve their access by overcoming difficulties associated with mobility. Based on a survey o...

A l'instar des " choix " résidentiels dans leur ensemble et d'autres catégories de ménages, le choix de s'installer ou de quitter des territoires périurbains dépendants de l'automobile effectué par des ménages modestes est le résultat de multiples logiques, à la fois économiques, sociales, professionnelles et familiales. Le terme de choix est certe...

The second demographic transition is associated with diversification and reduction in household size. In the specific context of outer suburbs, second demographic transition’s forms are distinct from those characterizing urban areas. Indeed, low urbanity and high representation of couples with children traditionally characterize outer suburbs areas...

La seconde transition démographique est associée à une diversification et une diminution de la taille des ménages. Dans le contexte territorial et sociodémographique spécifique du périurbain, les formes de la STD sont distinctes de celles qui ont marqué les territoires urbains. En effet, une faible urbanité et la forte représentation des couples av...

The outer suburbs of Paris are home to a large number of low-income households driven from the centre by the workings of the property market. This shift could give rise to a new form of socio-spatial segregation insofar as the elevated costs of mobility in such highly car-dependent areas restrict and change these households' mobility patterns. Thes...

Aller au travail, faire ses courses, passer du temps chez soi, sortir le soir: autant de pratiques situées dans le temps et l'espace, qui par leurs fréquences et leurs durées, président à la caractérisation de nos modes de vie. Urbanistes, sociologues, géographes et économistes ouvrent ici un espace de dialogue entre les modes de vie et les mobilit...

Using Montreal as a case study, the authors investigate whether overlapping labor markets explain economic links between the suburbs and the central city. Despite interconnection between labor markets, they find only weak evidence of commuting ties between particular suburbs and the city center. However, economic functions—but also some services an...

The actual draw back of local services in peri-urban spaces could not be associated to supermarket competition, but rather to consequent place of car in household's mobility. Our analyses, based on communal inventories communal inventories of 1988 and 1998 as well as time matrices for car and public transportation highlight the effect of automobile...

L'accès des populations aux commerces et aux services en dehors des centres urbains denses est marqué par le recul des services de proximité auxquels populations et élus locaux paraissent particulièrement attachés. Pour autant, dans les espaces périurbains cette mise à distance des ressources par rapport aux populations est le résultat de l'adoptio...

The automobile dependence raises the question of social economic standard in mobility. In the outer suburbs of Paris, the automobile is the key element that determines the location of general services and the access of households to those services. Yet, this appreciation must be moderated according to territories and populations. Some territories d...

The present article is attempting to identify if the automobile, which took part in development of periurban spaces but which causes strong disparities of mobility between households, according to their incomes and of their age, leads to exclude an increasing part of the population in this spaces. We looked more closely into not-motorized populatio...

La dépendance automobile pose la question de la norme socio-économique en matière de déplacements. En grande couronne francilienne, c'est l'automobile qui est déterminante en terme de localisation des services aux ménages et de l'accès de ces derniers à ces services. Le succès du supermarché et le déclin d'une partie du commerce de proximité sont n...

The automobile dependence raises the question of the standard of mobility. In the outer suburbs of Paris, the automobile is the key element that determines the location of the general amenities to the population and the access of households to these services. The success of large suburban supermarkets and the decline of a significant share of the l...

En Île-de-France, les tendences observées entre 1990 et 1999 témoignent de la poursuite des phénomènes d'étalement urbain. Les conditions de la mobilité individuelle et notamment la motorisation ne sont pas étrangéres a ces evolutions. La caractérisation de la dynamique spatiale de la motorisation francilienne est mise en evidence dans ce travail p...
