Abstract
Commuting in the Québec Metropolitan Area : gender, family and residential location — Using individual level spatial data derived from an «origin-destination» survey of 21 000 households in the Québec Metropolitan Area in 1991 and integrated in a geographic information system, this study shows that the residential location of households is an essential intermediate variable mediating the influence of family status and gender on work-trip length. Family status variations in journey-to- work patterns are related to the particular residential location of different types of households, including rapidly growing types such as working couples, single parents and lone persons. Because of the central location of the major work places in the Metropolitan Area, we observe, for different types of households, a significant correlation between average work-trip length and average distance from the center of the city.
