Abstract

This paper aims to assess changes in mobility and modal shift caused by COVID-19 travel restrictions among the residents of Gdańsk Bay Metropolis (Poland). Measurement’s moments were assumed in periods differing in the level of restrictions. The computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) was carried out in November and December 2020. The results did not confirm the expected modal shift. However, significant changes in the number of trips between periods were observed. Restrictions in the first period of the pandemic resulted in a greater decrease in mobility than the restrictions at the end of the year. Moreover, significant associations were found between transport behaviour and place of residence. Nevertheless, possible negative changes in the modal split after the pandemic ends should be counteracted by improving the quality of public transport services. As the most important attributes of public transport attracting passengers after the pandemic respondents recognized: high frequency of vehicles, low cost of travel, not overcrowded vehicles. However, some residents declared they will not use public transport regardless of service improvements. Consequently, to meet the objectives of sustainable mobility policy, it can be necessary to increase the share in the modal split of other sustainable modes of travel.
新冠肺炎旅行限制对大都市流动性的影响:来自Tricity大都市的经验证据(波兰)
本文旨在评估新冠肺炎旅行限制在Gdańsk Bay Metropolis(波兰)居民中造成的流动性和模式转变的变化。测量力矩是在限制水平不同的时期假设的。计算机辅助电话采访(CATI)于2020年11月和12月进行。结果并未证实预期的模态转变。然而,观察到不同时期的出行次数发生了显著变化。与年底的限制相比,疫情第一阶段的限制导致流动性下降幅度更大。此外,还发现运输行为与居住地之间存在显著关联。尽管如此,应通过提高公共交通服务质量来抵消疫情结束后模式划分可能出现的负面变化。作为疫情后吸引乘客的公共交通最重要的特征,受访者认识到:车辆频率高,出行成本低,车辆不拥挤。然而,一些居民宣称,无论服务改善如何,他们都不会使用公共交通工具。因此,为了实现可持续出行政策的目标,可能有必要增加其他可持续出行方式在模式划分中的份额。
