  • Is a car necessary for active aging? Relationships between aging, car use, and time spent on activities that sustain health and well-being
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives. - 2590-1982 .- 2590-1982. ; 22

    • The aging population of the Global North is increasingly car dependent, with repercussions for health and well-being. This article analyzes how car use interacts with living an active life and how this has changed over time in Sweden. National time use data were used to analyze change in two cross sections of older people (65–84 years old) over a ten-year period (2000/01–2010/11). Previous studies concentrated on the relationship between travel behavior as such and older adult’s access to driver’s licenses and cars. We offer an integrated approach that includes all daily activities as we explore the changing social distribution of car use, as well as how different levels of car use are associated with time spent on active aging activities that benefit individuals and society. We conclude that an increasing proportion of the older population in Sweden are moderate to heavy car users and identify convergence over time between car use by older women and older men. We also find that heavy car users spend more time traveling to active aging activities. At first glance, this finding suggest that older people in Sweden are dependent on a car for living an active life. However, examination of how much time is actually spent on active activities after travel time is excluded reveals that few significant differences remain. This nuances the idea that access to a car is a necessity for spending time in activities that contribute to society and to personal well-being in old age.

  • Proximity changes to what and for whom? Investigating sustainable accessibility change in the Gothenburg city region 1990–2014
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Sustainable Transportation. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1556-8318 .- 1556-8334. ; 12:4, s. 271-285

    • This paper operationalizes the concept of sustainable accessibility by emphasizing the environmental and social dimensions of sustainability from a spatial perspective. In doing so, we develop a heuristic model that focusses on the crucial dimensions of who gets access to what by using sustainable means of movement. We apply our conceptual approach in an examination of trends in sustainable accessibility for different social groups living in Gothenburg, Sweden between 1990 and 2014. On the basis of welfare-related and time-geographical considerations, we investigate accessibility by proximity for low- and high-income earners, people with small children, and elderly people. We investigate to what extent proximity to fundamental facilities increases or decreases over time, indicating changing conditions for sustainability. The results show that opportunities for living a local life and achieving accessibility via proximity differ socially. Low-income earners and the elderly generally live closer to the facilities important for daily life than do high-income earners and parents of young children. We also show that the opportunities for various social groups to obtain access by proximity change over time. For example, we observe a trend in which over time older people face reduced opportunities to reach daily facilities in their local neighbourhoods.

  • When local access matters: A detailed analysis of place, neighbourhood amenities and travel choice
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Urban Studies. - : SAGE Publications. - 0042-0980 .- 1360-063X. ; 59:1, s. 120-139

    • How cities can become more conducive to sustainable travel patterns is a pressing matter in urban research. In the built environment–travel literature, several features potentially promoting sustainable mobility remain under-researched. One concerns the precise role of local accessibility – in terms of the number, variety and specific types of amenities – in promoting the slow modes of walking and cycling and in reducing car use. Another is the possibility that the standard assumption of a linear relationship between density and (un)sustainable travel is flawed. To fill these gaps, we explore specific local amenity supply types that stimulate a large share of residents to walk or cycle, avoiding long drives, to accomplish their daily activities. In a case study of the Västra Götaland region in Sweden, we analyse a combination of high-quality micro data from registers and the national travel survey using a stepwise statistical approach. We find evidence of non-linear discontinuities and significant geographical variation in how local accessibility affects travel behaviour. While more neighbourhood amenities contribute to more walking/cycling, the effect of establishing additional amenities varies amongst neighbourhood types and travel variables. Local everyday services, for example, grocery stores and preschools, are critical in triggering change. The findings inform urban planning by showing how a basic supply of essential amenities could contribute to better prerequisites for walking or cycling and reduced car dependence by inducing residents to choose local options.

  • More or less travel: personal mobility trends in the Swedish population
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Journal of Transport Geography. ; 19:6, s. 1235-1244
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This study explores mainstream trends and countertrends in the development of spatial mobility in the Swedish population. Tracing incipient change in travel behaviour is important for understanding the preconditions for social and environmental sustainability. We use data from the Swedish national travel surveys, conducted intermittently over almost 30 years (1978–2006), covering both daily and long-distance mobility. International travel is included for the last decade. With respect to mainstream trends, the results primarily concern the continuation of the spatial extension of overall mobility and of the motorization and individualization of travel modes, as well as an upward convergence between women’s and men’s mobility. When it comes to countertrends, substantial reductions in daily mobility and long-distance domestic travel are observed among the young.

  • Structuring Sustainable Mobility: A Critical Issue for Geography
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Geography Compass. ; 4:2, s. 106-117
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This article presents a geographical perspective on the concept of sustainable mobility. Meeting the challenge of sustainable mobility is a complex matter of promoting sustainable transportation technologies, influencing people's travel behaviour and transforming society's social and spatial structures. Arguably, a geographical perspective focuses on the latter, structural dimension of this interplay: how societal demands regarding people's mobility are continuously shaped and reshaped, and how structuration processes can be transformed in more sustainable directions. This includes the transformation of: (i) physical structures, such as the spatial organization (e.g. the location of activities, land use and transportation systems) of cities and regions, (ii) social contacts and networks distributed in space and time and (iii) cultures of regularly held beliefs, norms and expectations regarding people's abilities to travel fast and far for any purpose.
