El entorno residencial incide más en el caminar de las mujeres que de los hombres. Evidencias de jóvenes commuters suburbanos

The present study aims to explore the influence of the characteristics of the residential environment on the walking patterns of young men and women, through the use of georeferenced mobility data or tracking. To do so, a group of young adults who study or work at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and whose travel to the work/study place is carried out outside their municipality of residence has been selected, thus requiring the use of a means of motorized transport. Through a geolocation application for smartphone, mobility data of 1194 days of participation corresponding to 199 people have been analyzed. The findings suggest that dense and compact urban territories favor walking of both genders, but have a greater impact on women's behavior, compared to less dense and suburban territories. These results highlight the importance of the configuration of the territory to facilitate a more sustainable, equitable and healthy mobility model
