“…Travel behaviour during the childhood or adolescent phase is of special interest due to the ongoing debate on the effects of socialisation on travel behaviour (Baslington, 2008;Buliung et al, 2012;Haustein et al, 2009;Tully and Baier, 2011). Research on the mobility of the elderly takes another particular age group into consideration.…”

“…Buliung et al (2012), following Holloway and Valentine (2000), argued that ''these definitions may be differentially constructed across time and place'' (p. 31). Nayak (2003) made the same observation in the broader field of geography and children's perception of crime.…”

However, little is known about children's mobility. This paper analyses the energy consumption, travel distances and mode choices for school commuting based on two decennial surveys in Belgium. The results highlight the following: (1) mobility behaviours have evolved drastically over the past decades for school commuting, an evolution that cannot be entirely related to land-use variables, (2) the energy consumption for school commuting is strongly dependent upon the school level, and (3) the links between land-use patterns and energy consumption for school commuting are different than those highlighted within the literature between urban forms and hometo-work commutes. The concentration of secondary schools and tertiary institutions in urban centres induces higher energy consumption rates, whereas the decentralisation of nursery and primary schools across the entire territory leads to very low local energy consumption and increased walking and cycling. These results provide a better understanding of school commuting within the European context and could guide future policies focused on transport energy consumption at the local scale.

“…Recent research on children and youth mobility highlights the importance of power relations within the family (Buliung, Sultana, and Faulkner 2012). Moving away from the idea of children as immobilized 'others' of automobility (Uth Thomsen 2004), children are increasingly understood as fully capable social agents in their own right (Barker et al 2009).…”

Together and Apart: Affective Ambiences and Negotiation in Families’ Everyday Life and Mobility

This article addresses the affective, emotional, and familial dimensions of urban everyday mobility. Drawing on theoretical inspiration from phenomenology, nonrepresentational theory, and mobilities research on the relational mobilities of children and families, the paper explores the everyday mobility of 11 households with children in the multimodal context of Copenhagen, Denmark. Following the conceptualization of everyday mobility practices as heterogeneous 'negotiation in motion', the empirical analysis investigates how the strong relational dynamics between household members are organized around affect, care, familial bonding, and the rhythms of everyday life, which shape spatial patterns of moving together and apart. A new qualitative method combining GPS tracking, mapping, and household interviews is explored to show how everyday patterns of relational mobility are filtered through spatial affordances, affective ambience, and the temporalities of the lifecourse to influence transport alternatives of route and modal choices.
