Abstract
The promotion of public transport and active commuting modes is aimed to reduce private vehicle dependence. Many studies, conducted mainly in Anglo-Saxon regions have investigated the relationship between sprawl and the use of transport modes, albeit using the metropolitan scale as a spatial ambit of study. However, evidence of this relationship has been poorly assessed in Mediterranean countries. The objective of this study is to assess, in an empirical way, the influence of urban sprawl on the choice of specific commuter transport modes at sub-municipal scale.
Keywords
