Abstract

The geographical dispersion of daily life, coupled with the increase in travel speeds, have generated greater travel distances, affecting the spatial scale of mobility in metropolitan regions. The exploration of the spaces of activity of metropolitan residents is essential for the understanding urban expansion processes. This paper aims to evaluate the spaces of activity of metropolitan residents through a methodological proposal that combines the analysis of patterns of daily mobility, identified from personal tracking data, and the exploitation of land-use cartography. The method has been applied to the spatial extension of the daily life of members of the Autonomous University of Barcelona. The results make it possible to identify the impact of the place of residence and the mode of transport in daily mobility patterns on a metropolitan scale.
