40 years of time geography: from the conceptual framework to the GI Science contributions
2011
International audience; Social scientists studying the effects of space on human behavior usually consider the time dimension as an external factor. Activities are analyzed in an aggregate sense such that the process of individual decision-making is depicted as the single case of "the average individual." In order to link efficiently space and time dimensions, Torsten Hägerstrand defined in 1970's the concept of Time Geography and thereby founded the school of Swedish geography. His conceptual framework was destined to change the course of history in the social sciences. After 40 years, this success has transcended scientific boundaries. In this paper, we propose to review the evolution of …
Modelling daily mobility according to actors strategies

Proposition méthodologique pour la visualisation et l'exploration des mobilités géographiques
2016
Daily mobility data are multidimensional and desaggregated, what make them hard to manipulate and to analyze. Although methods of representation and analyze have been proposed, none of them seem to be able to efficiently bring out knowledge from data. We propose to combinate this solutions and a methodology of innovative reaggregation to visualize and explore mobility data.
Linking traffic and noise models to explore spatio-temporal distribution of noise pollution: an example in Besançon (France)
2012
International audience; Road transportation is one of the major environmental noise sources in urban areas, which is characterized by an important temporal and spatial variation. Therefore, linking mobility and traffic model with noise model each representing spatial and temporal dimensions is a great interest. An integrated and original approach was developed to explore noise pollution in urban areas with a spatiotemporal and prospective point of view. An agent-based Land-Use and Transport Integrated (LUTI) model - MobiSim- was used to assess traffic modulation by simulating hourly flows and mobility. Individual choices of agents (representing the city's inhabitants) were transformed to fl…
Coping with the costs of car dependency : A system of expedients used by low-income households on the outskirts of Dijon and Paris
2018
International audience; 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 overlooked. They can command a set of alternative practices or expedients to deal with car-related economic stress by a set of resources derived essentially from spatial proximity. This article aims to present and analyse the diversity of these expedients for the case of outer suburban areas around Paris and Dijon. The analysis of …
Caracterización de las áreas urbanas gallegas en función de los flujos de movilidad obligada
2010
La realidad territorial en los municipios gallegos evolucionó a ritmos dispares, afectados por dinámicas muy diferentes en cada uno de los casos. Los problemas en la aplicación de la normativa urbanística y de los instrumentos técnicos para la gestión del suelo gestaron unos ámbitos urbanos desconectados de su realidad metropolitana. Las áreas de influencia en las ciudades de Galicia presentan modelos complejos, adaptados a las dificultades que les privaron de una gestión prudente y coherente de los nuevos territorios urbanos. En la evaluación de la nueva realidad urbana, de sus condiciones y características, la movilidad residencial y la recurrente diaria es un elemento de primer rango de …
A normative planning approach for the Luxembourg : assessment based on spatial simulation
2015
In Luxembourg, daily mobility patterns of both cross-border workers and residents lead to a strong car dependance. This process encourages urban sprawl. Meanwhile the country is faced to increasing housing needs but has to reduce land consumption. Within this context, the main objective of this thesis is to throw light about the relation between residential growth patterns and daily mobility behaviors. In this way, a normative planning approach has been adopted. This approach proposes new planning norms for achieving a series of planning objectives. Quantitative rules are the tools used to apply the norms.Three steps has been done: i) conception of residential growth scenarios for 2030. By …
The Commented Walk Method as a Way of Highlighting Precise Daily Mobility Difficulties – A Case Study Focusing on Cognitive or Mental Diseases
2016
Abstract The French Act of 11 February 2005 on equal rights and opportunities, participation and citizenship of people with disabilities highlights the need “for people with disabilities or reduced mobility” to have access to the complete mobility chain of the transport system. This law was initially planned to apply from 2015. Many efforts have been made to improve life for those with physical, visual and, to a lesser extent, hearing impairments. But there is a lot of room for improvement in situations regarding psychological, cognitive and mental impairment. This is largely due to a lack of knowledge on the difficulties experienced by the above when they travel. The national quantitative …
