An examination of determinants influencing the desire for and frequency of part-day and whole-day homeworking

A new geodemographic classification of commuting flows for England and Wales

“…As stated in the 'Introduction' section, we focused on developing a classification of commuting flows that might be used within policy-related research to inform transport investment decision-making and policy evaluation. Our classification excludes homeworking because, in our view, the unique nature of homeworking -as a part or whole day activity -and the demands it places on alternative forms on infrastructure necessitates discrete analytical attention (Haddad et al 2009). A separate classification of homework 'commuting' would be a logical development as a complement to the classification outlined here.…”

Reconfiguring Urban Sustainability Transitions, Analysing Multiplicity

“…To take the example of reducing the need to travel; to what extent can urban mobility experiments contribute to this? Teleworking, teleconferencing or internet shopping through the use of ICTs, internet and Wi-Fi capability, PCs and laptop computers and mobile phone technology creates a context where almost 14% of the UK workforce are 'home workers' [85], with complex consequences for mobility patterns (see [86]). 'Home worker' is a broad category and should be treated with some care; but in many ways, significant amounts of homeworking can be understood as part of wider processes of economic restructuring that reconfigures mobility flows.…”

On the Impacts of Telecommuting over Daily Activity/Travel Behavior: A Comprehensive Investigation through Different Telecommuting Patterns

“…It could involve a full-day engagement, where the daily commute is completely removed and telecommuting serves as a substitution effect, or it could be a part-day assignment where the commute may or may not be displaced temporally and telecommuting serves as a supplementary effect It is clear that full-day and part-day telecommuting have different impacts on workers' travel activity schedules, which is well recognized in existing literature (Mokhtarian, 1998;Shafizadeh et al, 2001;Lyons et al, 2006;Lyons and Haddad, 2008;Haddad et al, 2009;Sampath et al, 1991; U.S. DOT report, 1993;Handy and Mokhtarian, 1995;Walls and Safirova, 2004).…”

“…Early studies mainly focused on either "preference" or actual "choice" (Sullivan et al, 1993;Bernardino et al, 1993;Mokhtarian & Salomon, 1994, 1996a, 1996bMokhtarian et al, 1998;Belanger, 1999;Wells et al, 2001;Grippaldi, 2002), while aspects such as "frequency" or "option" were gradually added to the literature (Mannering & Mokhtarian, 1995;Yen, 2000;Drucker & Khattak, 2000;Peters et al, 2001;Popuri & Bhat, 2003;Wernick, 2004;Walls et al, 2006;Mamdoohi et al, 2006;Zhou, 2008;Vana et al, 2008;Haddad et al, 2009;Tang et al, 2011;Sener & Bhat, 2011;Singh et al, 2012 should be prepared and sent out separately to each company. As it is not plausible to do this at a national level and includes high expenses in terms of both time and money, such surveys usually lead to relatively small sample sizes, which counteract the models' reliability and transferability.…”
