“…Taking the example of shopping, two papers included in this TC established a direct connection between their findings and car dependence. Rokseth et al [ 31 ] noted that private cars have for a long time been the main mode of transport for retail and service trips, of which 60% correspond to grocery shopping. Therefore, the authors conducted a spatial analysis based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in two Norwegian towns to conclude that the percentage of population living close to a grocery shop (i.e., at a walking distance of less than 500 m) has nearly halved over the last 40 years.…”

The Spatiotemporal Links between Urban and Rural Regions through the Sale and Consumption of Agri-Food Products

et al. 2023

The asymmetries between rural and urban areas have continued to increase over the last decades, contributing to an imbalance of economic, social, and territorial dimensions between regions. Urban stores specialized in the commercialization of rural provenance agri-food products can have a role in the promotion of interrelations between the countryside and the cities and contribute to publicizing and promoting rural regions among the urban populations and tourists. Thus, this work aims to understand and characterize the growth of these stores in two of the main urban and tourist centers of Oporto and Lisbon. For this purpose, we developed an analytical framework with the support of a spatial analysis using geographic information systems (GIS) to understand their organization as well as the spatiotemporal evolution and distribution. We also investigated the geographical patterns of the supply chains of marketed agri-food products and the spatial relationships between agri-food products from their production to their commercialization and consumption. The results revealed that most of the agri-food products originate in the inland rural regions of the country with a clear geographical connection between the analyzed stores and specific territories. Moreover, we verify an increased interest and consumption of agri-food products and a spontaneous increase in this type of store. Overall, these stores, in addition to selling agri-food products, are also promoters of rural territories in an urban environment.

“…Grocery shopping may be the most important non-work travel practice to understand from a sustainability perspective. Car trips to grocery stores make up a significant and increasing amount of travel (Elldér, 2018;Rokseth et al, 2021). In the creation of the 15-minute neighbourhood baseline report, Ottawa city staff conducted a survey of residents about what they considered to be the most important destinations in a 15MN.…”

What Will It Take to Make Non-Work Trips Sustainable? A Feminist Analysis of Transitions in Transportation Policies and Practice

Many cities appear to be on the precipice of extraordinary change to meet the growing and interconnected challenges of climate change, housing need, inadequate transportation networks and social inequality. In this case study of Ottawa, Canada, the policies of the municipal government and responses from residents are examined to understand how they support or restrict transformative change to mobility, particularly with regard to non-work travel. The analysis, applying theories of sustainability transitions, finds limited signs of innovation and exnovation while overall lacking recognition of the necessity and urgency of changing the transportation status quo. This timid approach is reflected in interviews with residents and their responses to policy implementation. The findings of this research suggest that to shift mobility practices, there is a need to create momentum towards sustainable mobility and away from automobility.iii Acknowledgements My work and life are inspired in so many ways by my children Freddie and Joanna. I am fuelled by the desire to do the best I can for them and for their future. Thank you for making time for me to work on the computer, for joining me on walks and bike rides in these neighbourhoods, and for continuing to show me new ways of seeing the world. Thank you to my partner Brent who not only made time and space for me to pursue this new direction while supporting our family and helping raise two young children but encouraged me every step of the way. Thank you to my extended family, who also supported my pursuits, cared for our children, and remind me about different lived experiences. I also want to thank the wonderful women who cared for my children over this period: Fareha, Silvia, Debbie, Janka, Laura, Claudette, Shannon, and Mehri. I am thankful for the support and encouragement of my supervisor, Pablo Mendez. This project reached in many directions, and Pablo asked thoughtful questions, made helpful suggestions, and ensured that I didn't veer too far off course. I don't think I truly understood the complexity of designing, executing, and writing an independent research project like this, and your guidance and collaboration were instrumental to this thesis. Sheryl-Ann Simpson asked me many vital questions and pushed me to think in new or different ways. As a committee member, and as a course instructor, her contributions to this project were valuable. Other members of the Carleton community also contributed to my ways of thinking and writing about these topics and this project particularly David Hugill, Derek Mueller, Alexis Shotwell, and the Carleton Urban Geography Lab.Lastly, I am grateful to those who participated in interviews for this research and shared their stories and time with me. They were thoughtful, candid, and eager to share their experiences which was essential to the success of this project.
