Combining traditional transport research tools with qualitative research methods, particularly ethnography, can contribute to our understanding of the complexity of mobility strategies, particularly their gendered differences. Ethnographic approaches can both explain and disentangle some of the results that emerge from travel and time use surveys, hence providing a more complete picture of how and why these strategies take place, and the barriers people face when moving in the city. Using research-case studies based on in the city of Concepcion, Chile, the paper describes the application of these methods, presenting results which are particularly gender sensitive, as they shed light on the difficulty of understanding mobility strategies as individually decided and conceived, and help to explain how mobility strategies are interdependent and how determinant issues of care are in terms of mobility decision making.

将传统的交通运输研究工具与定性研究方法（尤其是民族志）相结合，可以有助于我们了解出行策略的复杂性，尤其是性别差异。人种学方法可以解释和区分旅行和时间使用情况调查产生的一些结果，从而更全面地了解这些策略的实施方式和原因，以及人们在城市移动时所面临的障碍。本文基于智利康塞普西翁市的研究案例研究，描述了这些方法的应用，并提出了对性别特别敏感的结果，因为它们阐明了难以理解根据个人决定和构想而制定的出行策略的难度，
