Abstract

This article proposes a simple post hoc segmentation approach to revisit Household Travel Survey data and sketch archetypal mobility figures (clusters) that relate to people's daily mobility experiences. Describing the mobility behaviors of the different clusters and the distribution of the population between clusters is a powerful means to draw the mobility landscape of a metropolitan area and make comparisons over time and across places. Furthermore, clusters can be used to contextualize mobility behaviors in a variety of social inquiries and can be complementary to traditional quantitative mobility indicators or qualitative investigations.

本文提出一个简易的事后分割方法, 重探家户旅运调查数据, 并描绘有关人们日常移动经验的原型移动计算 (集群)。描绘不同集群的移动行为, 以及集群之间的人口分布, 是绘製大都会地区的移动地景、并进行跨时与跨地域比较的有力方法。此外, 集群能够用来脉络化各种社会探问中的移动行为, 并且能够辅助传统的量化移动指数或质化探问。

Este artículo propone un enfoque simplificado de segmentación post-hoc para volver a examinar los datos del Estudio sobre el Viaje Familiar [Household Travel Survey] y esbozar las cifras de movilidad arquetípicas (agrupamientos) que relacionan las experiencias de movilidad cotidiana de la gente. Describir las conductas de movilidad de los diferentes agrupamientos y la distribución de la población entre los agrupamientos, es un medio poderoso para dibujar el paisaje de movilidad de un área metropolitana y para hacer comparaciones a través del tiempo y de los lugares. Además, los agrupamientos pueden utilizarse para contextualizar los comportamientos de movilidad en una variedad de indagaciones sociales y pueden actuar como complementarios de los indicadores cuantitativos tradicionales de movilidad o de las investigaciones cualitativas.
