Title: Does suburbanisation of employment imply less sustainable mobility? - The effects of location policy on commuters' travel patterns in the Stavanger region, Norway
Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of the location policy of workplace on commute travel patterns, focusing on the analyses of travel time, distance and car use. The analysis compares the behavioural patterns of commuters who travel to the suburban area with those who commute to the semi urban area and the city centre. The analysis is based on the commuters’ travel behaviour survey conducted among the workers in the Stavanger region between 2008 and 2009 and uses estimation of linear and binary logistic regressions. The results are consistent with existing research literature that workplace in the suburban area has influenced the propensity to have longer travel time, distance and car dependency. The study also indicates that commuters choose the means of transport which can produce low travel time. A. K. M. Tarigan, S. B. Bayer & C. Berg 3
