Effects of the residential environment on travel patterns

In this paper, the aims of my dissertation research are presented. The first is to investigate how the car use of Swedish house-holds with children differs be-tween three residential areas offering varying access to work, services and re-cre-a-tional areas. The second aim is the analyze of time-spatial constraints on the daily activity patterns of men and women in the three areas. The results from a small pilot study will be intro-duced.
