Mobility Biographies: A Life-Course Approach to Travel Behaviour and Residential Choice

最近，流动性传记方法在研究个人出行行为的稳定性和变化方面受到了越来越多的关注。通常，生活过程的三个特征被强调为在旅行行为变化中起决定性作用的三个特征：家庭和家庭传记、就业传记和居住传记。在第一个资助阶段，多特蒙德现有的多代数据集被数字化，并检查其合理性。首先提出并分析了关于代际效应、社会化、生活事件及其对旅行行为的综合影响的假设。在后续项目中，将对项目第一阶段的初始假设进行更深入的分析，并使用多元方法对其进行更深入的分析。此外，其目的是收集法兰克福和苏黎世大都市地区的更多数据，以便同时比较不同地点和职业群体之间的差异。根据项目第一阶段的结果，我们发现对(1)性别、(2)年龄和世代、(3)外部因素(如无障碍指标)、(4)流动性传记类型以及(5)各子项目的整合和理论结论的分析特别有希望。除了发展旅行行为改变理论的结论外，还将得出政策建议，并与政策制定者进行讨论。

Recently, the mobility biography approach has gained increasing attention for studying stability and changes of individuals' travel behaviour. Frequently, three characteristics of the life course are emphasised as playing a decisive role in travel behaviour changes: household and family biography, employment biography, and residential biographies. In the first funding phase, an existing multi-generational data set in Dortmund was digitalised and checked for plausibility. First hypotheses were developed and analysed regarding intergenerational effects, socialisation, life events and their combined impact on travel behaviour. The initial theoretical models and hypotheses were developed further, and first results obtained.In the follow-up project, initial hypotheses of the first project phase will be analysed in more depth using multivariate methods. Furthermore, the intention is to gather additional data in the metropolitan regions of Frankfurt and Zurich for simultaneous comparison between different locations and occupational groups. Based on the results of the first project phase, we find the analysis of (1) gender, (2) age and generation, (3) external factors like accessibility indicators, (4) types of mobility biographies, and (5) the integration and theoretical conclusions for all sub-projects particularly promising. Beyond the conclusions for the development of travel behaviour change theory, policy recommendations will also be derived and discussed with policymakers.
