Abstract

Proximity and Immobility, which Daily Travel Patterns for the Old Residents of Outer Suburbs? - How do the elderly move in suburban, strongly car dependent areas? In light with the demographic ageing of the outskirts of cities and the generation based diffusion of cars, these questions remain however little studied on a statistical basis. With the household travel survey of ‘Grenoble 2002' (which includes a vast extra-urban territory, with various characteristics), we present some elements of understanding of the daily mobility of the elderly in low density areas. Various features, i.e. gender and age, matrimonial status (life alone / married), or characteristics of the place of residence, impact travel patterns. Daily activities and mobility appear to be very different among the groups of old persons. They also show the risks of "misadaptation" met by the elderly of the outskirts, when the access to the car becomes more complicated due to age, to disability or to the decease of the spouse.
