'A holiday is a holiday': practicing sustainability, home and away

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that a holistic understanding of sustainable lifestyles is needed if effective behavioural change strategies for climate change are to be developed, revealing the complexities of contemporary environmental practices using data from a recent British Academy research project.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of everyday weather on individual daily travel behaviours in perspective: a literature review

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a systematic and comprehensive overview concerning the impact of weather conditions on daily travel activities and conclude that the existing studies present an incomplete and fragmented picture of the effect of weather on travel behavior, which makes effective planning for climate change a harsh job.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moving towards sustainability? Mobility styles, attitudes and individual travel behaviour

TL;DR: In this paper, two segmentation approaches are used to identify gaps between different domains of individual travel behaviour and the varying role of attitudes for travel decisions. But the results demonstrate the usefulness and limitations of existing segmentation approach and underline the need for more complex and comprehensive mobility style frameworks as basis for measures aiming at behavioural change towards sustainable mobility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Life-Course Events on Car Ownership

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the impact of life-course events on car ownership and, ultimately, on travel behavior to provide a basis for measures influencing people toward a more sustainable mobility.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Smarter Choice? Exploring the Behaviour Change Agenda for Environmentally Sustainable Mobility:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that an overreliance on individualistic approaches poses three major challenges through the ways in which mobility is intricately entwined with social practices and consumption settings, practices of (un)sustainable mobility are related to the structure and organisation of physical environments, and solutions for sustainable mobility are framed through narrow political lenses that fail to address the potential social transformations needed to tackle climate change.
