Throndsen Masteroppgave.Pdf (11.49Mb) Does the Urban Structure Mobility? A quantitative study of the effects of car ownership, and residential and destination locations on travel behaviour in Greater Oslo Torstein S. Throndsen Master thesis in Human Geography at the Department of Sociology and Human Geography UNIVERSITY OF OSLO 26/5-17 II © Torstein S. Throndsen 2017 Does the Urban Structure Mobility? A quantitative study of the effects of car ownership, and residential and destination locations on travel behaviour in Greater Oslo Torstein S. Throndsen http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: CopyCat I Abstract This master thesis investigates how urban structures influence travel behaviour in the city region of Oslo and Akershus. Global climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In search for ways to mitigate CO2 emissions, policymakers have turned their eyes to the transport sector. It is often conceived that polycentric city regions with compact, transit- oriented cities and neighbourhoods reduce distances travelled, discourage car use and promote the use of alternative transport modes. Multivariate quantitative models are applied in this thesis to address specifically three shortcomings in the assumed causality between urban structures and travel behaviour. First, car ownership usually overshadows the effect of all other factors on travel behaviour. The findings in this thesis indicate, however, that car ownership function as a mediator between urban structures and travel behaviour. Second, the influence of trip destination locations on travel behaviour is understudied, particularly in a Nordic context. In this thesis, the urban structures at trip destination locations, especially workplace density, turn out to have a major impact on transport mode choice. Third, few Nordic studies, and none of them Norwegian, have taken into account the street design in the local neighbourhoods. Moreover, diversity measures, such as the degree of mixed building or land use, have not been popular in Nordic studies. The findings in this thesis indicate that future studies should take diversity and design elements into consideration. II Preface Writing this master thesis has been like a trip. And just as I argue in this thesis that a number of factors influence how people make their trips, this trip has been influenced by many factors. Some of those factors are people that I would like to thank for their contribution. Most of all I would like to thank my supervisor, Lars Böcker. I have learnt so much, thanks to you. It has been a true joy and a privilege to have you as my supervisor. Thank you. I would also like to thank my co-supervisor, Per Gunnar Røe. Your contribution in especially the final weeks is greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank Tanu Priya Uteng at the Institute of Transport Economics. You have given me so many opportunities which I could not have dreamt about one year ago. I would like to thank my fellow master students. I will miss the quizzes. I am also very grateful to Osloforskning for the grant I received. Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Katrina. Your patience these last months of my master degree has been nothing less but absolutely marvellous. I am also grateful that you proofread this thesis. However, all misspellings and all other kind of errors in this thesis are mine to blame. I would also like to thank the rest of my family and my parents, who have made me believe in myself. This master thesis is part of the research project Smart Mobility Suburbs (SMS), which is funded by the Norwegian Research Council’s ENERGIX program. The project focuses on innovations in mobility practices, and innovations in collaborative and multi-scalar governance to enable low-energy smart cities/micro-cities. SMS is a collaboration between the UIO-CIENS partners the Department of Sociology and Human Geography at the University of Oslo, Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research (NIBR), and Institute of Transport Economics (TØI).

  • Anbefaling Om Statlig Forskrift for Kommunene I Viken Og Gran Kommune I Innlandet Fra Midnatt Natt Til 16.3.2021
    15.3.2021 Anbefaling om statlig forskrift for kommunene i Viken og Gran kommune i Innlandet fra midnatt natt til 16.3.2021 Oppsummering • Helsedirektoratet anbefaler iverksettelse av tiltak i samsvar med covid-19-forskriften kapittel 5A for kommunene i Viken fylke og Gran kommune i Innlandet • Tiltakene anbefales iverksatt fra midnatt natt til 16.3.2021 med varighet til og med 11. april 2021 • I møte med Statsforvalteren i Oslo og Viken, kommunene, FHI og Helsedirektoratet svarte 23 kommuner at de ønsket å bli omfattet av kapittel 5A i Covid-19 forskriften, 13 svarte nei, 3 var usikre og de øvrige tok ikke ordet i møtet. Statsforvalter begynte møtet med at hun ønsket at de kommunene som ikke ønsket å bli omfattet av forskriften tok ordet. Gran kommune i Innlandet ønsket å omfattes av forskriften på grunn av nærhet til Lunner og tett kontakt til Oslo. • Helsedirektoratet og FHI mener det er behov for sterke tiltak i kommuner som har en raskt økende smittetrend. Det er betydelig forskjell på smittetrykket mellom ulike kommuner i Viken. Likevel vil Helsedirektoratet og FHI anbefale at vedtaket omfatter hele fylket. I Viken dominerer den engelske virusvarianten med økt smittsomhet. Det er behov for tiltak som begrenser mobilitet gjennom pendling og sosiale og kulturelle aktiviteter mellom kommunene. Over halvparten av kommunene i Viken melder om utfordringer med TISK-kapasiteten. Kapasiteten i spesialisthelsetjenesten i Helse Sør-Øst er presset klinisk på grunn et høyt antall innleggelser og på laboratoriene på grunn av høyt prøvevolum. • Kommunene må til enhver tid konkret vurdere behovet for lokale vedtak og anbefalinger i tillegg, avhengig av den lokale smittesituasjonen.
