Sedentary behaviour among children has become an area of interest in health research due to its associations with unfavourable health outcomes. Concerns about certain activities being sedentary guides much work in this field, with study outcomes often directed towards determining the amount of time spent in these activities. In this paper, we explore the idea of thinking about sedentary moments within children's everyday practices instead of tota…
Elementary school closures in Sweden over two decades
School closures have for long often been seen as a ‘rural issue’ and/or as a rural-urban dichotomy. We posit that such crude representations should be nuanced by help of intra- and inter-municipality analysis as there are differences and diversity between and within rural municipality classes. Based on this, we use official Swedish statistics to perform a spatially disaggregated analysis of the geographical characteristics of Swedish municipaliti…
Spatial patterns of logistics facilities in Gothenburg, Sweden
Localisation of freight consolidation centres serving small road hauliers in a wider urban area
Rural–urban spatial interaction in the global south
The spatial interaction between rural and urban areas is intense in the Global South. While research into how this interaction influences livelihood opportunities is extensive, longitudinal identification and analysis of rural people's long‐distance mobility is rudimentary. This is problematic given the possible repercussions of a greater flow of people for transport system management (congestion, emissions, investments, social exclusion, etc.). …
Road investment as enabling local economic development? Evidence from a rural Philippine fishing village
This paper investigates how efforts to achieve local economic growth conflicted with long-term sustainable resource use when road accessibility was improved between a supply area – the households and household firms in a Philippine fishing village, Dinahican, previously hampered by very poor transport conditions and accessibility – and its major market. Findings indicate that improved road access to big fish markets stimulated investment in produ…
