Contents • 1. Introduction: sources and analysed cities • Modal split in the daily home-to-work mobility • 2.1. Walking • 2.2. Private transport • 2.3. Public transport • Conclusions
Introduction Project: “The historical centers of Spanish cities. Comparative analysis of their characteristics and present-day situation”. Financial support provided by Ministry of Education and Sciences (Project reference: SEJ2004-07064). • Sources for the study of the home-to-work mobility • Lack of public oficial sources for the whole of Spain till 2001 Population Census
Variables (census tract) 1. Population having no car 2. Population having no garage 3. Population making two or more journeys per day 4. Population taking less than 30 minutes per journey 5. Population working in the same city where it lives 6. Population going walking to the job 7. Population going by bicycle to the job 8. Population using private transport (car/motorbike) to go to the job 9. Population using public transport (bus, train, metro, or other combinations of public transport) to go to the job 10. Population combining the public and the private transport to go to the job

The home-to-work mobility in the Spanish cities analized shows the following patterns: 1. The predominant pattern in the city as a whole is more important than the differences between the historical city centres and the rest of the city. Conclusions
sd 6,6 Walking sd 13,9 Without garage sd 8,9 Without vehicle Differences between historical city centres and the rest of the city. Mean of the 25 capitals of province. Working in the same town Bicycle 2 or more journeys Take less than 30 minutes Others transports sd 4,0 Public transport sd 5,6 Privatetransport -20 -10 0 10 20
2.These differences show that the historical city centres are places more suitable to go walking to work and with more difficulties to use the private transport. 3. The distribution of the modal-split is the following: 1) Private transport (40%); 2) walking (39,6%); 3) Public transport (15% ), and 4) Bicycle and others Conclusions
4. Conclusions show that go walking and the use of private transport is related to a lower use of public transport. 5. Go walking to the job is associated with a higher frequency of journeys per day. The use of private transport is strongly related to the availability of a car. 6. The total population is the more important variable in the modal split patterns. Conclusiones
Walking (-0.623**) Bicycle Withour car (0.606**) (-0.567**) TOTAL POPULATION Private transport 2 o more journeys (-0.649**) Public transport (0.813**) < 30 minutes (-0.416*) (0.595**) Other transports
