Concerned by the increasing environmental impact of urban areas and the mobility sector, the study examines mobility in Reykjavík, Iceland. Reykjavík residents have been found to have high emissions in both local and leisure travel. The study aims to explore the connections between urban mobility and leisure travel behaviour using a novel method – activity spaces. The relationship between activity spaces and travel emissions is examined for the first time, based on data of about 700 respondents from a softGIS survey. Connections between activity spaces, local and domestic travel were found. High levels of urban mobility were connected to higher engagement in domestic leisure travel, indicating the presence of a highly mobile lifestyle among Reykjavík urbanites. The reasons for the travel could stem from compensation behaviour, or social network dispersion. In addition, the study points at a lack of functioning 15-minute neighbourhoods and public transit in the capital area. Some differences between income groups were noticed, particularly in urban mobility, pointing at the need to examine the social floor of mobility even within generally affluent societies, so that disadvantaged groups do not get left behind in the sustainable mobility transition. As it has been suggested that people travel for their well-being and to escape the tumult of urban life, the relationship between urban mobility, especially environmental exposure during daily travel, and well-being should be studied. Therefore, the study urges for sustainable mobility transitions and urban planning policies that consider the needs and well-being of citizens in all socio-demographic groups.

活动空间和休闲旅行排放：冰岛雷克雅未克的案例研究


由于担心城市地区和交通部门对环境的影响日益严重，该研究考察了冰岛雷克雅未克的交通状况。雷克雅未克居民被发现在本地和休闲旅行中都有高排放。该研究旨在使用一种新颖的方法——活动空间来探索城市交通与休闲旅行行为之间的联系。根据 softGIS 调查中约 700 名受访者的数据，首次研究了活动空间与旅行排放之间的关系。发现了活动空间、本地和国内旅行之间的联系。高水平的城市流动性与国内休闲旅行的参与度较高有关，这表明雷克雅未克城市居民存在高度移动的生活方式。旅行的原因可能源于补偿行为或社交网络分散。此外，该研究指出，首都地区缺乏正常运行的 15 分钟社区和公共交通。注意到收入群体之间的一些差异，特别是在城市流动性方面，这表明即使在普遍富裕的社会中，也需要检查流动性的社会基础，这样弱势群体就不会在可持续流动性转型中落后。正如有人建议人们为了自己的幸福和逃离城市生活的喧嚣而旅行，因此应该研究城市交通，尤其是日常旅行中的环境暴露与幸福之间的关系。因此，该研究敦促可持续的交通转型和城市规划政策，考虑所有社会人口群体中公民的需求和福祉。
