Résumé

The paper discusses the relative effects of socio-demographic, spatial context, transport availability and city-specific variables on time allocation to travel and various out-of-home activities. The discussion is based on results obtained from econometric analyses of, on the one hand, travel surveys in eight European cities over three countries: France (Lyon, Grenoble, Strasbourg and Rennes), Switzerland (Geneva, Bern and Zurich) and Belgium
(Brussels); on the other hand a one week survey in Ghent (Belgium). The results from these different sources converge to underline that socio-demographic characteristics (and especially
gender and marital status) play by far the major role in time allocation to travel and various activities. This is the case in all urban areas surveyed, despite restricted to the European cultural area, considering whether isolated weekdays or a whole week.
