Impact of land use on mobility: Eco-neighborhoods of Vauban and Rieselfeld in Freiburg
Mobility practices are associated with different factors, including the physical environment, distance and motives of trips or sociodemographic characteristics. Through a quantitative and comparative survey (2013) conducted within the eco-districts of Vauban and Rieselfeld (Freiburg, Germany), we analyze the residents behavior and motives of mobility. The study revolves around the relationship between travel modes and environmental structural factors, and suggests that the availability of transport infrastructure, accessible services and green spaces near the living place is a favorable factor in the use of "active modes".
