At the crossroads of transportation engineering and urban sociology, the dissertation deciphers the interactions between daily mobility and social inequalities, what I call the "social mechanics of mobility". To do so, I draw on a twofold survey, both quan ...

This paper aims to investigate the combination of exogenous and dynamic endogenous variables in professional high mobility patterns. It is based on a panel dataset of the Job Mobilities and Family Lives in Europe research project conducted between 2007 and ...

Among heterosexual couples, employment of the female partner may suffer from household migration often driven by the job of the male partner. Most research has traditionally focused on the distance moved after couple formation and has neglected how far par ...

The car dominance car in the urban transport system may contribute to health and environmental troubles. In recent years, multimodality appears as a central issue for public policies as they try to encourage and develop the modal shift in favour of walking ...

This study examined the relationship between couple relationship satisfaction and the transitivity of ties with family and friends within couples, i.e., the tendency of partners to share friends and family. In this case, transitivity was measured by using ...

Can living near a national border have an effect on the politicization of individuals? To answer this question, this article challenges the results put forward by some European Border Studies scholars granting the border a major role in the construction of ...

This study employs a second-order structural model (SEM) to conduct a mediation analysis, with the objective of elucidating the intricate relationship between environmental concerns and daily mobility habits. The mediation variable used is motility, define ...

Transports et télécommunications procurent désormais des potentiels de vitesse considérables, ils peuvent affranchir des distances et (quasiment) permettre l’immédiateté dans la circulation de l’information et des idées. Largement utilisés, ces potentiels ...

The Léman Express (LEx) is Europe's largest cross-border rail network. As the backbone of public transportation that connects Geneva with its French suburbs, the LEx should contribute to increasing sustainable mobility and to achieving the 2050 carbon neut ...

Des auteurs de plus en plus nombreux relèvent que les sociétés occidentales contemporaines sont marquées par l’accélération et la complexification des rythmes de vie. Cette configuration implique des modifications majeures des pratiques de mobilité et des ...

Les espaces frontaliers constituent des milieux d’enquête privilégiés pour analyser des opérations de classement ordinaire croisant les dimensions de classe, de race, de nationalité et d’appartenance territoriale. Les différentiels économiques, juridiques ...

In a society where car use is still predominant, resistance to modal shift questions traditional planning approaches. While lifestyles are diversifying, public transit timetables are still mainly based on commuting. This paper proposes a new, interdiscipli ...

Cross-border regions are seen as specific spaces where both cosmopolitanism and nationalistic attitudes can spread. It is commonly argued that due to the physical proximity to a neighbouring country, the development of cross-border encounters and interacti ...

Quatre ans après le lancement du Léman Express, de nombreuses mesures d’accompagnement visant à favoriser l’utilisation des transports publics et la mobilité douce ont pris du retard. Un audit transfrontalier fait le point sur la situation et émet des reco ...

Alors que les conditions d’accès à la mobilité n’ont jamais été aussi bonnes, les injonctions sociales qui se matérialisent aussi bien au travail, dans les loisirs ou dans la famille peuvent créer des formes de vulnérabilités temporelles. Cet article souti ...

En Suisse, les politiques publiques de transport peinent encore à réduire la place de la voiture dans les pratiques de mobilité quotidienne. L’enjeu majeur du report modal est d’adapter l’offre de transport à la demande. La réponse à cet enjeu implique une ...
