It is challenging to identify the points in time when people make major changes in their personal mobility and the circumstances in which such changes take place and the motivations for change. Some studies have used panel data from large-scale surveys while others have conducted biographical interviews with small numbers of participants. These two approaches to research stem from very different epistemological and methodological perspectives, yet provide potentially complementary insights. This chapter provides a critical examination of the contributions from the two forms of research enquiry through reviewing examples of research on car ownership. The examples demonstrate that the traditional idea of qualitative research being used to formulate theory and quantitative research being used to test theory is apparent, but it would be more accurate to describe the two types of research as being part of an iterative process of research which contributes to accumulated knowledge in a less predictable way. We advocate that common theoretical frameworks are applied to build knowledge using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Although purely qualitative or purely quantitative longitudinal approaches can be designed to generate evidence on processes of change and causality, it will be beneficial to adopt both approaches to build a robust evidence base. Up to this point, a systematic approach has not been taken in combining research enquiry based on panel data with enquiry based on biographical interviews. We recommend researchers engage in considering the epistemological, methodological and analytical issues involved in combining the two forms of enquiry, as there is the prospect of making major strides in the understanding of personal mobility over the life course.","PeriodicalId":354556,"journal":{"name":"Mobility and Travel Behaviour Across the Life Course","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131887122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the extension of daily activity spaces and inter-regional residential relocation have contributed to economic growth, the spatial division of labour, specialisation, cultural and social integration and, perhaps most importantly in the context of this book, changes in people’s life courses. At the same time, the downsides of increasing and accelerating mobility for society and the environment are increasingly evident, not least in the context of current climate change debates that identify the transport sector as a major greenhouse gas emitter and, more generally, contributor to unsustainable ways of life. The expansion of activity spaces and significant shifts in mobility culture over the past century are inextricably linked to dramatic changes in transport systems and infrastructure, including the growing dominance of the private car, increases in air travel, the development of high-speed trains and, most recently, the emergence of ICT-enabled sharing systems, new propulsion technologies, the virtualisation of many daily activities and autonomous vehicles. At the same time, these developments have presented unprecedented challenges for transport policy, in particular given that transport growth has come at high environmental, social and (external) economic costs. For example, links between public health, social exclusion and car dependency are only now being recognised as major sustainability challenges, with significant implications for both social and transport policies (Hodgson et al., 2012; Jones and Lucas, 2012; Milne, 2012; Mattioli et al., 2019). As mentioned previously, changes in mobility have also contributed to dramatic changes in life courses. This refers to the life stages to be passed through, their sequence and ordering, and the kinds of socio-cultural meanings people and societies bestow upon them.
