BACKGROUND The school commute is a prime opportunity to increase children's physical activity levels. However, active commuting has decreased over the past 40 years. Strategies that increase walking to school are therefore needed. Travelling Green (TG) is a school-based active travel resource aimed at increasing children's walking to school. The resource consists of a curriculum-based program o...

Location Based Services (LBS) provide a new perspective for spatiotemporally analyzing dynamic urban systems. Research has investigated urban dynamics using GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), GPS (Global Positioning System), SNS (Social Networking Services) and Wi-Fi techniques. However, less attention has been paid to the analysis of urban structure (especially commuting pattern) u...

Travel expenses are a significant factor in transportation planning. In addition to the other aspect, travel time, community considers expense as necessary element deciding which mode communities should take. However, there is gap between actual transport and commuter's perception. Thus, comprehensive knowledge urgently needed particularly be seen major variable planning that sided with underpr...

The global pandemic has revived debates about the contribution of teleworking to reducing travel, air pollution and carbon emissions. However, previous research suggests that availability may encourage people move farther from their place work, creating risk longer commutes will offset benefits fewer commutes. In addition, additional non-work travel by teleworker, and/or influence behaviour oth...

The study of how employment decentralization in polycentric metropolitan areas affects patterns of commuting has created many intense debates in the research areas of geography and urban planning based on empirical studies in developed countries of North America, Europe, Oceania as well as developing countries of Asia during last two decades (Gordon & Wong 1985; Cervero & Landis 1991; Giuliano ...

The mobility needs of society are constantly increasing, resulting in congested urban areas. New concepts such as e-scooters can help to reduce traffic. In particular, commuting paths, which generally remain within a specific distance, short and manageable via an intermodal travel chain. combination with public transport, paths could be beneficial. To evaluate the potential used literature rese...

"This paper analyses whether the basic monocentric model of urban structure and commuting explains actual commuting in Europe, i.e. The Netherlands. As in the USA much wasteful commuting is established. The basic model has a low degree of explanatory power. In order to get more in line with actual commuting, the paper elaborates two alternatives to the basic model. Besides a deconcentrated mode...

Advancing social and cultural geography’s interest in sport, exercise commuting, as well the everyday experiences of movement, materiality, rhythm, this paper provides first account run-commuting through a focus on running with bag. Run-commuting is an emerging active travel practice which people run to and/or from work. It blurs usual separation mobilities related work those leisure. In doing ...
