ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter we saw that clear, statistical relationships exist between residential location and travel behaviour, when controlling for demographic, socio-economic, attitudinal and a number of other relevant differences between the respondents. In this chapter we shall take a closer look at the ways different partial aspects of travel behaviour contribute to the differences in the amount of travel found between respondents living in the central and peripheral parts of Copenhagen Metropolitan Area. The chapter provides a concretizing and a more detailed account of some of the relationships shown in the previous chapter. Thus, by drawing a more detailed picture of the ways the different transportation rationales, in combination with the situation of the residence, produce some characteristic patterns regarding trip distances, travel time, frequency of activity participation, and location of activities, the chapter aims to contribute to improved insight into the mechanisms through which urban structure influences the amount of transport.
