MAN AND HIS TRANSPORT BEHAVIOUR. PART 2B. NON-MOTORIZED TRAVEL AND THE REGIONAL STRUCTURE OF LAND USE

The development of land use for housing and employment away from town centres to the outskirts of towns has resulted in additional trip generation, either by walking or public and private transport. To minimise the use of private transport, good conditions for travelling by foot, cycling or public transport must be offered. Mobility (number of daily changes of location) will increase if many destinations are nearby and can be reached with little time and expense. The aim therefore of regional planning in this context, and discussed in the article, is based on the hypothesis that the inhabitants of favourable locations have shorter trips to reach most destinations and make less use of cars using, where possible, non-motorized modes such as walking or cycling. The author uses the hanover region in the study of a typical mono-central region. (TRRL)
