“…Sequence discrepancy analysis methods have been especially used for exploring individual life trajectories (Studer et al, 2010;Widmer and Ritscard, 2009). Recent applications of sequence analysis methods on activity schedules and diary data have revealed the advantages of these approaches for capturing the complex structures of activity patterns and providing more accurate schedule classifications (Lesnard and Kan, 2011;Kim, 2014).…”

“…Figure 3 illustrates the matching of a pair of sequences in two different ways regarding the type of operation: (i) using only substitutions by replacing the different elements of one sequence with those in the second one and (ii) using a combination of insertion and deletion operations. The optimal matching (OM) distance metric allowing both substitutions and insertion/deletion of activities (Lesnard et al, 2011) is used in this study. Moreover, a method proposed by Studer et al (2011) called the "discrepancy analysis" allows measuring the relationships between categorical variables (e.g., gender, age, education level, professional status) and a set of sequences described by the matrix of dissimilarities (measured with the OM method).…”

Abstract. Recent flash flood impact studies highlight that road networks are often disrupted due to adverse weather and flash flood events. Road users are thus particularly exposed to road flooding during their daily mobility. Previous exposure studies, however, do not take into consideration population mobility. Recent advances in transportation research provide an appropriate framework for simulating individual travelactivity patterns using an activity-based approach. These activity-based mobility models enable the prediction of the sequence of activities performed by individuals and locating them with a high spatial-temporal resolution. This paper describes the development of the MobRISK microsimulation system: a model for assessing the exposure of road users to extreme hydrometeorological events. MobRISK aims at providing an accurate spatiotemporal exposure assessment by integrating travel-activity behaviors and mobility adaptation with respect to weather disruptions. The model is applied in a flash-flood-prone area in southern France to assess motorists' exposure to the September 2002 flash flood event. The results show that risk of flooding mainly occurs in principal road links with considerable traffic load. However, a lag time between the timing of the road submersion and persons crossing these roads contributes to reducing the potential vehicle-related fatal accidents. It is also found that sociodemographic variables have a significant effect on individual exposure. Thus, the proposed model demonstrates the benefits of considering spatiotemporal dynamics of population exposure to flash floods and presents an important improvement in exposure assessment methods. Such improved characterization of road user exposures can present valuable information for flood risk management services.

Life Course Research and Social Policies

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Life course research has been developing quickly these last decades for good reasons. Life course approaches focus on essential questions about individuals' trajectories, longitudinal analyses, cross-fertilization across disciplines like life-span psychology, developmental social psychology, sociology of the life course, social demography, socio-economics, social history. Life course is also at the crossroads of several fields of specialization like family and social relationships, migration, education, professional training and employment, and health. This Series invites academic scholars to present theoretical, methodological, and empirical advances in the analysis of the life course, and to elaborate on possible implications for society and social policies applications.For further volumes:

“…Because couples have to synchronize their work schedules to spend time together, the more complicated such schedules are, the greater the challenge is for togetherness. Moreover, it is not only the absolute number of hours that matters for family time, but also the extent of overlap and synchronization between partners' work schedules (Lesnard, 2008;Lesnard & Kan, 2011). In the context of the ever-increasing complexity of work scheduling (Jacobs & Gerson, 2004), shared family time has become an unequally distributed family asset.…”

It is often assumed that partnership quality is positively associated with the amount of time couples and families spend together. However, little about this link has been demonstrated empirically. This study investigates how time spent with the partners, children, parents, siblings, friends, and acquaintances is associated with partnership conflicts and partnership satisfaction. A time-use module was set up as part of a longitudinal survey about family relations and conflicts in Switzerland. The results show a robust association between partnership quality, time shared with the partner, and time shared with the partner and children. Results show that the more time couples spend together, the more likely they are to experience high partnership quality and to report being satisfied with their relationships. Partners who are satisfied with their relationships are more prone to talk to each other, to share leisure time, and to go to bed together. In contrast, time spent with friends and kin is not associated with partnership quality.
