Questioning gender stereotypes: A case study of adolescents walking activity space in a small Central European city

Author

  • Rišová, Katarína

Abstract

There has been a lack of research on the gender differences in spatial attributes of adolescents' walking activity space (WAS). Moreover, while other literature shows girls walking less through city centres than boys, there are limitations concerning the absence of its precise definition and spatial delimitation. Additionally, the morphological structure of city centres, and differences in their constituent parts have not been considered.
