Abstract

This article investigates car-based commuting habits among employees in four knowledge intensive organizations (KIOs) in the greater Oslo region in Norway. This region has experienced a growth in KIOs and knowledge workers over the last few decades and, like many other European urban regions, it struggles with high levels of car-based commuting. This article suggests designing policy measures based on a deeper understanding of the various ways that commuting is performed. Based on inductive statistical methods, groups with different sets of commuting practices are defined, which is used to create commuting profiles across and within the enterprises. The six key commuting practices suggests that targeted policy-mixes should be applied to support shifts toward more sustainable commutes.

摘要

本文调查了挪威大奥斯陆地区四个知识密集型组织 (KIO) 员工的汽车通勤习惯。在过去的几十年里，该地区经历了 KIO 和知识工作者的增长，并且与许多其他欧洲城市地区一样，它正在努力应对高水平的汽车通勤。本文建议在更深入地了解各种通勤方式的基础上设计政策措施。基于归纳统计方法，定义了具有不同通勤实践集的组，用于创建跨企业和企业内部的通勤配置文件。六项关键通勤实践表明，应采用有针对性的政策组合来支持向更可持续的通勤转变。
