Abstract

Background: Travel surveys show that the amount of private car driving in Norway has increased significantly since the mid-1980s. Private car driving has for a long time been the main mode of transport for retail and service trips, and grocery shopping trips represent over 60% of the retail and service travels. Despite the growing number of studies addressing accessibility to daily destinations, to the best of the authors' knowledge there are no studies examining these issues over time.

Methods: This paper aims to investigate changes in accessibility to grocery stores over time and use two counties in Norway as examples. Based on GIS data at a detailed level, distances from dwellings to nearest grocery store has been examined.

Findings: The results from the spatial analyses reveal significant changes from 1980 to 2019: The share of the population living within 500-m from a grocery store has decreased from 55% to 34% in one of the counties examined and from 36% to 19% in the other. This indicates that the share of people living within walking distance to a local grocery store has nearly halved. With such changes in accessibility to grocery stores, increased car driving for grocery shopping should not come as a surprise. Contrary to the frequent statements about sustainable urban development and active transportation, it seems that Norway still is developing as a country that in the future will be more and not less dependent on private cars.

减少私家车需求，事实还是虚构？一项关于挪威杂货店可达性变化的研究。

背景：旅行调查显示，挪威的私家车驾驶量自 20 世纪 80 年代中期以来大幅增加。长期以来，私家车一直是零售和服务旅行的主要交通方式，而杂货店购物旅行占零售和服务旅行的60%以上。尽管针对日常目的地可达性的研究越来越多，但就作者所知，还没有研究对这些问题进行长期研究：本文旨在以挪威的两个县为例，研究杂货店可达性随时间推移而发生的变化。根据地理信息系统的详细数据，研究了从住宅到最近杂货店的距离：空间分析的结果表明，从 1980 年到 2019 年发生了显著变化：在所研究的其中一个郡，居住在距离杂货店 500 米范围内的人口比例从 55% 降至 34%，在另一个郡则从 36% 降至 19%。这表明，步行即可到达当地杂货店的人口比例几乎减少了一半。由于杂货店的可达性发生了这样的变化，开车购物的人数增加也就不足为奇了。与人们常说的可持续城市发展和积极的交通方式相反，挪威似乎仍在发展成为一个未来将更多而不是更少依赖私家车的国家。

期刊介绍： European Transport Research Review (ETRR) is a peer-reviewed open access journal publishing original high-quality scholarly research and developments in areas related to transportation science, technologies, policy and practice. Established in 2008 by the European Conference of Transport Research Institutes (ECTRI), the Journal provides researchers and practitioners around the world with an authoritative forum for the dissemination and critical discussion of new ideas and methodologies that originate in, or are of special interest to, the European transport research community. The journal is unique in its field, as it covers all modes of transport and addresses both the engineering and the social science perspective, offering a truly multidisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, engineers and policymakers. ETRR is aimed at a readership including researchers, practitioners in the design and operation of transportation systems, and policymakers at the international, national, regional and local levels.
