Travel surveys show that the amount of private car driving in Norway has increased significantly since the mid-1980s. Private car driving has for a long time been the main mode of transport for retail and service trips, and grocery shopping trips represent over 60% of the retail and service travels. Despite the growing number of studies addressing accessibility to daily destinations, to the best of the authors’ knowledge there are no studies examining these issues over time. This paper aims to investigate changes in accessibility to grocery stores over time and use two counties in Norway as examples. Based on GIS data at a detailed level, distances from dwellings to nearest grocery store has been examined. The results from the spatial analyses reveal significant changes from 1980 to 2019: The share of the population living within 500-m from a grocery store has decreased from 55% to 34% in one of the counties examined and from 36% to 19% in the other. This indicates that the share of people living within walking distance to a local grocery store has nearly halved. With such changes in accessibility to grocery stores, increased car driving for grocery shopping should not come as a surprise. Contrary to the frequent statements about sustainable urban development and active transportation, it seems that Norway still is developing as a country that in the future will be more and not less dependent on private cars.

减少私家车需求，是事实还是虚构？一项绘制挪威杂货店可达性变化的研究


旅游调查显示，自 20 世纪 80 年代中期以来，挪威的私家车驾驶量显着增加。长期以来，私家车驾驶一直是零售和服务出行的主要交通方式，买菜出行占零售和服务出行的60%以上。尽管越来越多的研究涉及日常目的地的可达性，但据作者所知，还没有研究随着时间的推移检查这些问题。本文旨在调查杂货店的可达性随时间的变化，并以挪威的两个县为例。根据详细的 GIS 数据，对从住宅到最近的杂货店的距离进行了检查。空间分析结果显示，从 1980 年到 2019 年发生了显着变化：在所调查的一个县中，居住在距离杂货店 500 米范围内的人口比例从 55% 下降到 34%，在 2019 年，这一比例从 36% 下降到 19%。另一个。这表明居住在步行即可到达当地杂货店的人口比例几乎减少了一半。随着杂货店交通便利性的变化，开车去杂货店购物的增加也就不足为奇了。与有关可持续城市发展和积极交通的频繁说法相反，挪威似乎仍然是一个正在发展的国家，未来将更多而不是更少地依赖私家车。
