Publication Impact of urban facilities spatial inequality on sustainable travel mode(2024) Urrutia-Mosquera, Jorge; Flórez-Calderón, Luz; Cortés, Yasna; Troncoso, Rodrigo; Lufin, MarceloWith the implementation of sustainable development objectives in developing countries, urban planning, land use regulation, and urban mobility policies are expected to help reduce inequalities in access to urban facilities. Urban transport policies are also expected to encourage travel by non-motorised modes and public transport. These are considered to be the sustainable modes of urban transport. In this paper, we investigate how inequality of urban facilities impacts trips made by sustainable modes in the city of Santiago de Chile. We use aPoisson regression model and its geographical extension, the geographically weighted Poisson regression model (GWPR). The results suggest that the inequality of urban facilities impacts trips made by sustainable modes. The variables with the highest relevance are the spatial distribution of mixed land use, the spatial distribution of urban services related to transport infrastructure, primary and secondary education, as well as the spatial distribution of demographic variables related to people’s life cycle.Publication Feelings of insecurity as a gender-specific constraint on urban mobility(2025) Contreras Gómez, Hugo Alejandro; Candia, Cristian; Rodríguez-Sickert, Carlos; Ferres, Leo; Troncoso, RodrigoCrime and violence shape psychological and sociological perceptions, fostering a sense of insecurity, especially in urban settings. This perception significantly alters lifestyles, routines, and social interactions. In this study, it is conducted an empirical analysis of the relationship between personal feelings of insecurity and the way individuals move in their daily lives, with a particular focus on differences between genders. The methodology used combines subjective data gathered from individuals’ reported perceptions of insecurity with objective data derived from digital mobile phone tracking, providing a comprehensive view of how these fears affect people’s daily routines and mobility patterns. The results highlight that perceived insecurity is significantly related to a lower mobility of individuals of both genders. This effect is more pronounced in women, reflecting significant gender-based differences in the impact of perceived insecurity on daily mobility. The findings, revealing higher levels of insecurity and fear of crime among women, require policy action. Public policy must prioritize making urban spaces, such as bus stops, squares, parks, sports courts, and streets, safer and more welcoming for women. This approach is essential to create an urban environment that is inclusive, secure, and conducive to the well-being of all its inhabitants.
