Special issue of Travel Behaviour and Society on post-pandemic mobility

Dear colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting):

If you are doing research on the longer-term impacts of the pandemic
on travel behaviour and their implications to society, please consider
submitting your work to our Special Issue of Travel Behaviour and
Society: Travel
Behaviour in the Post-pandemic Era. Submissions will be accepted from
now *until
May 31, 2022*. You can find additional details on the special issue below,
and on the webpage:
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/travel-behaviour-and-society/call-for-...
.

Please share with your colleagues who might be interested in contributing
to this special issue.

Best regards,
Giovanni
(on behalf of all co-guest editors of the SI)

*Scope of the special issue*:

In response to the unprecedented disruptions in travel behaviour and
society associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and a much-awaited
post-pandemic era coming closer (although with great uncertainty and
geographic variations), Travel Behaviour & Society (TB&S) invites transport
scholars around the world to share their original, insightful, and rigorous
empirical work on the social and transportation implications of the
COVID-19 pandemic. Papers with a longer-term perspective on the pandemic
implications are especially welcome.

*The Special Issue welcomes contributions on the following topics within
the theme*:

1. Whether, to what extent, or in which ways the temporary adoption of
virtual activities (e.g., working from home, online shopping,
videoconferencing, etc.) during the pandemic may lead to longer-term
changes in travel behaviours, and travel-related attitudes;
2. How preferences for, adoption of, and demand for conventional and
emerging transportation modes (e.g., solo driving, public transit,
ridehailing, micromobility, and autonomous vehicles) have shifted, likely
differentially across various population groups in society, as the pandemic
progresses;
3. How temporary measures (e.g., temporary bike lanes) taken by the
public sector, businesses, residents, or interest/activist groups lead to
behavioural changes during the pandemic, and/or affect the likelihood of
their continuation;
4. How land use attributes interact with important processes during the
pandemic, e.g., the ways the virus spreads out over space and time, the
ways residents in cities, suburbs, and rural communities respond to the
virus and non-pharmaceutical interventions, and the ways that recovery
after peak waves take place;
5. Whether and/or in which ways preferences on residential locations and
lifestyles in general change in response to the pandemic, likely in varying
ways across socioeconomic groups, and what these changes suggest for the
spatial distribution of households, jobs, and their interactions between
the central city and outlying suburbs in a post-pandemic era;
6. What are the implications of the pandemic and responses in society on
resilient and sustainable urban form, in preparation for possible similar
events in the future;
7. How the impacts of the pandemic differ across various population
groups in society, which may have exacerbated pre-existing inequalities
associated with race, ethnicity, gender, nationalities, educational
attainment, income, or geographic locations.
