Abstract

Numerous scientific studies prove that urban design and the transport system influences people´s mobility behaviour. The range of infrastructure and mobility services in the direct vicinity of residential areas plays a certain role, because 80% of all daily activities start and end at home. In practice, it can be observed that the integration of mobility measures is becoming increasingly important in the planning of new housing developments, but at the same time little is known about the actual effects that mobility measures have on residents. Due to the lack of evaluation, it is difficult to assess to what extent those measures, such as high-quality bicycle parking facilities, free public transport tickets for residents, car and bike sharing or parcel stations within a housing complex, are target-oriented and can be seen as promising to encourage people to adopt a more environmentally friendly mobility behaviour. As part of the diploma thesis “Integration and impact of mobility measures in the housing sector for the promotion of environmentally friendly mobility”, mobility surveys were conducted with residents of several new housing developments in Austria (Salzburg/Vienna) in spring 2020. With the example of the neighbourhood “Quartier Riedenburg” (Salzburg) – a recently completed residential quarter with a wide range of mobility services – this paper provides first-hand information about which mobility measures are particularly important for residents. A comparative study of the actual mobility behaviour of the residents before and after they moved to Quartier Riedenburg is set out in this paper. For the first time scientific evidence of the impact and relevance of mobility measures in residential areas is proved.
