“…Numerous studies address the defining and measuring of potential accessibility (for a recent critical review, see Elldér et al 2018), but accessibility is more complex and multifaceted from a travel behavioral perspective, not least when it comes to the number, variety, and specific types of local amenities that can compete given regional accessibility (e.g., agglomerations of amenities in external shopping centers or city centers). Some amenities have been emphasized as particularly important to have near home, for example, shopping and health facilities (Páez, Scott, and Morency 2012) and grocery stores (Lee and Moudon 2008).…”

This article seeks insight into the kind of compact development that leads to reduced car driving by examining the significance of local amenities relative to the traditional “five Ds of the built environment.” Regression models of unique microdata covering all of Sweden show that an increasing number of amenities near home causes more people to give up driving and instead walk and cycle, and that the presence of even a few local amenities can mean shorter travel distances. After detailed consideration of local amenities, street network design has little significance, and the effects of diversity and density are significantly weakened.

“…If the proximity of parent and child is good, then it will give a positive impact, as described by Hurlock (1973) relationships with family members, affects the Foundation of our attitude toward society, and life in general. Besides a positive impact from the proximity of the parents and children, the proximity of the child with the parent will enrich a child with social welfare such as self-esteem, adjustment of emotions, and physical health (Choi, Schoeni, Wiemers, Hotz, & Seltzer, 2020;Elldér, Larsson, Solá, & Vilhelmson, 2018; W.

The development of science and knowledge and the structure of society has had various impacts on the order of social life. No exception influences the smallest organization, namely the family. The model and parenting patterns of the previous generation (the baby boomers’ generation) are significantly different from the next generation. Of course, this also causes differences in the results and impacts obtained. However, the issues related to parenting tend to remain the same. One parenting that is often used is authoritarian parenting, in which parent’s tom much impose his will on the child as desired. This makes children become depressed so that the proximity of the child with parents rift or loose. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implications of parenting conditions and its various characteristics in building closeness between parents and children.

“…Accessibility can also be enabled by mobility strategies, using fast means of travel, such as the car, or virtual strategies, using information and communication technologies to transcend space. These strategies can be implemented separately or in combination [28,33]. How and to what extent people choose physical mobility, proximity, or virtual strategies have important consequences for environmental and social sustainability.…”

“…For example, a mismatch occurs when old people living in houses located in less-in-demand peripheral parts of the municipality can no longer cope well there, but cannot afford to buy or rent centrally located apartments in in-demand areas due to high housing prices. This means that densification can in fact result in increased proximity for economically strong groups, but more and longer travel for those who cannot choose to live in these dense areas [28]:…”

In striving for sustainability, urban policy and planning increasingly emphasize proximity ideals in order to go beyond established mobility- and speed-oriented accessibility strategies. Yet proximity is a fluid concept with many contextualized meanings, cutting across most sectors of urban planning. When proximity is realized in actual planning, clarity and communicability are therefore required. Here we explored how urban planners in different fields of expertise understand and apply the proximity concept. Furthermore, we tested a collaborative tool enabling transparent discussion and fostering a joint basis for further application. Qualitative data were collected via six semi-structured, focus-group workshops with 35 planners of various competencies working in three western Swedish municipalities. The results indicated that planning goals of proximity were negotiated according to three understandings: One derived from the established understanding of transportation and land-use integration, relying on planners’ expert views; a second emphasizing the local community understanding, highlighting the social context of neighborhoods; and a third comprising the personal environment understanding of the individual’s closest physical space at a detailed scale level. Collaborative exercises resulted in the development of a communicative tool for negotiating perceived understandings of proximity, as well as planning goals.
