This thesis analyses the nexus between caste, class and social mobility in rural India over the last half-century of profound transformations. The increase of demographic pressure on land has reduced agriculture to a subsidiary source of livelihood for the rural population. The transition from farming to informal and irregular forms of labour which require the working population to commute to small and medium towns, have become the predominant patterns of occupational transition in rural India. This thesis investigates the nature and magnitude of these changes and their implications for the reconfiguration of the social structures - caste hierarchy and class stratification - and aims at verifying whether the caste membership continues to prevail as a factor of social stratification. Using unique data at the individual level on the full population of Palanpur, a village in Uttar Pradesh, surveyed seven times from 1958 to 2015, we provide a longitudinal analysis of the trends, the patterns and the determinants of the social mobility of three generations of individuals. We combine the statistical and econometric analysis of the social mobility with a qualitative analysis of more than a hundred interviews carried out during six-months in-depth fieldwork. We find evidence of the opportunities for social mobility to increase but prevalently downward toward manual workers’ class. The advantage of the upper castes to access high salariat positions persists over time, however, with the modernization, the educational attainment plays an equalising role on the chances of upward mobility irrespective of the caste and the class of origin. Moreover, we find that the caste disadvantage for upward mobility from low to middle and top-class decreased over time for some of the castes at the bottom of the hierarchy. While much social stratification research has been and still is carried out in Western countries, this thesis is an original contribution to the emerging literature concerning social stratification and mobility in developing countries.

Cette thèse s’efforce de redéfinir le concept de caste dominante qui fut d’abord étudié à l’échelle villageoise, dans le contexte de l’Inde rurale des années 1950, afin de le rendre pertinent en l’adaptant aux évolutions contemporaines d’un pays de plus en plus urbanisé, où les mobilités socio-spatiales se sont intensifiées. Pour ce faire, cette recherche s’appuie sur le cas des Kamma, caste dominante originaire d’Andhra côtier où elle continue de posséder l’essentiel des terres, même si ses membres ont migré en grand nombre vers l’intérieur et le sud de la péninsule indienne, dans les nouvelles zones irriguées et les villes. Ils occupent désormais des positions-clés dans la vie politique et économique de l’Andhra Pradesh, et dans une moindre mesure du Tamil Nadu et du Karnataka. La prise en compte du territoire, tel que ce concept a été élaboré par la géographie sociale, est essentielle pour comprendre ce changement d’échelle et de nature de la dominance de caste et pour étudier ses variations régionales. Dans les années 1980, avec l’arrivée au pouvoir en Andhra Pradesh d’un parti contrôlé par les Kamma, le Telugu Desam, la prise en main de l’appareil d’Etat leur a permis de renforcer leur influence. Ils dominent aussi les médias et le cinéma télougous, ce qui leur confère une prééminence socioculturelle. Ces nouveaux attributs de dominance, idéels voire idéologiques, et non plus seulement matériels, permettent de parler d’hégémonie. Celle-ci est toutefois remise en cause par la résistance des Dalit à l’oppression de caste et de classe, tandis que la domination culturelle des Kamma est contestée dans la région du Telangana par les partisans d’un Etat séparé de l’Andhra
This thesis aims at redefining the concept of dominant caste which was first studied at the village level, in the context of 1950s rural India, to make it relevant by adapting it to the contemporary evolutions of a rapidly urbanising country, where social and spatial mobility is increasing. With this objective in mind, this research explores the case of Kammas, a dominant caste from Coastal Andhra where they continue to control most of the land, even though they have migrated in large numbers towards the interior and southern regions of the Indian peninsula, both to newly irrigated areas and to the cities. They now occupy key positions in politics and in the economy of Andhra Pradesh, and to a lesser extent of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Taking territory into account, a concept which was developed in Social Geography, is essential to understand this change in the scale and nature of caste dominance and to study its regional variations. In the 1980s, when the Kamma-dominated Telugu Desam Party won the elections in Andhra Pradesh, their control over State power helped them consolidate their influence. They also dominate the Telugu media and cinema, which confers upon them sociocultural preeminence. These new attributes of dominance, which are ideological and not only material, have a hegemonic character. However, this hegemony is threatened by the growing resistance of Dalits to caste and class oppression, while Kamma cultural domination is contested in the Telangana region by those supporting the creation of a State separated from Andhra

En 1765, la saisie du Dewani du Bengale par l’East India Company y amorça la mise en place d’un nouveau système aux nombreuses déclinaisons. Celui-ci reprenait certains éléments de l’ancien régime moghol et son fonctionnement reposait sur la participation d’Indiens. Ce fut notamment le cas au niveau foncier avec le Permanent Settlement (1793) qui fit des zamindar, fermiers traditionnellement chargés de lever les impôts agricoles, de véritables propriétaires terriens. Ainsi libérés de leur attachement aux terres, ceux-ci émigrèrent massivement à Calcutta où ils prospérèrent en tant qu’intermédiaires entre la puissance britannique et la population locale. Ils avaient ainsi accès à des opportunités inédites qui leurs permettaient de se différencier du reste de la population locale en acquérant une connaissance de l’anglais, en s’enrichissant grâce aux activités britanniques et en adoptant des comportements inspirés des mœurs anglaises. Au début du XIXe siècle, ces individus appartenant principalement aux jati de Brahmanes, Baidya et Kayastha formèrent la nouvelle élite bengalie des bhadralok.Alors que cette nouvelle élite investit tout le spectre social, culturel et politique de la scène bengalie contemporaine, les modèles historiographiques dominants se sont focalisés largement sur son anglicisation au détriment des autres aspects de ses activités, et encore moins de la façon dont elle composait avec les hiérarchies traditionnelles de la société hindoue. En effet, les étudiant par le prisme moderniste et en s’appuyant principalement sur des sources coloniales, les historiens ont tendance à décrire les Bhadralok comme un bloc monolithique composé d’Indiens de hautes castes dont les comportements visaient uniquement à s’angliciser et qui se servaient ainsi de leur statut de caste pour légitimer leur statut de classe. Ainsi, l’utilisation de ce prisme pour interpréter les sources ne rend compte que d’une partie des comportements des Bhadralok. Toutefois, en consultant des sources coloniales telles que des documents administratifs officiels, des productions scientifiques contemporaines, des recensements, des sources judiciaires ; mais également des sources locales en bengali telles que des sources littéraires, des traités religieux, ainsi que des généalogies, nous avons observé que les Kayastha bengalis, également membres des Bhadralok, étaient considérés comme des Satsudra et n’appartenaient donc pas aux hautes castes. Nous nous sommes demandé comment leur appartenance aux Bhadralok interagissait avec ce statut de caste inférieur et avons remarqué que ce nouveau statut de Bhadralok leur permettait de renégocier leur place au sein de la hiérarchie des castes. Pour approfondir ce constat, nous avons relu un ensemble de sources, qu’elles soient rédigées en anglais ou en bengali, afin d’y percevoir les signes des renégociations de caste menées par les Kayastha appartenant aux Bhadralok. Nous avons ainsi montré que les Kayastha saisirent d’abord les opportunités de projeter un statut de haute caste, puis qu’ils cherchèrent à légitimer ce statut en fabriquant des preuves scripturaires de leur appartenance au varna de Ksatriya, pour enfin en obtenir la reconnaissance par la population bengalie à travers l’équivalent de jugements de caste tels que les recensements décennaux et les verdicts prononcés par les tribunaux britanniques. En 1885, date à laquelle s’arrête cette thèse, les Kayastha n’étaient pas encore reconnus comme des Ksatriya.Nous invitons donc à remettre en question les connaissances établies à propos des Bhadralok en resituant leurs comportements dans le contexte singulier de la société bengalie du XIXe siècle, et ainsi en fournir une meilleure compréhension
In 1765, the seizure of the Dewani of Bengal by the East India Company marked the implementation of a new system of governance that took various forms. This was based on certain elements of the old Mughal regime and relied on the participation of Indian elites, as was the case with the Permanent Settlement (1793) which made the zamindar, traditionally a rent farmer under the Mughal system, into true landowners. Thus freed from their attachment to the land, these rural elites emigrated massively to Calcutta where they prospered as intermediaries between the British power and the local population. There, they had access to unprecedented opportunities that enabled them to differentiate themselves from the rest of the local population by acquiring a knowledge of English, enriching themselves through British-sponsored activities and adopting behaviours inspired by English customs. In the early nineteenth century, these individuals, mainly from the Brahmin, Baidya and Kayastha jatis, began to emerge as a new Bengali elite known as the Bhadralok.While this new elite is hugely visible in the social, cultural and political spectrum of the contemporary Bengali scene, the dominant historiographical models have focused largely on its anglicisation to the detriment of other aspects of its activities, and even less on how it interacted with the traditional hierarchies of Hindu society. Indeed, studying them through the prism of modernism and relying mainly on colonial sources, historians describe the Bhadralok as a monolithic entity made up of high-caste individuals whose identity was defined solely by their anglicisation and who thus used their caste status to legitimise their class status. Thus, using this prism to interpret the sources only captures a part of the Bhadralok’s behaviour. However, by also consulting local sources produced largely in Bengali, we observed that the Bengali Kayasthas, also members of the Bhadralok, were considered to be Satsudras and therefore did not belong to the upper castes. We wondered how their belonging to the Bhadralok interacted with this lower caste status and noted that their new-found Bhadralok status enabled them to renegotiate their place within the caste hierarchy. To investigate this further, I re-read a range of sources, including colonial sources such as official administrative documents, contemporary scientific productions, censuses and judicial sources, as well as local Bengali sources such as literary sources, religious treatises and genealogies, for signs of caste renegotiations led by Kayasthas belonging to the Bhadraloks.I have thus shown that the Kayasthas first seized opportunities to project a high-caste status, then sought to legitimise that status by constructing scriptural evidence of their membership to the Ksatriya varna, and finally obtained its recognition by the Bengali population through the equivalent of caste judgements such as the decennial censuses and verdicts handed down by the British courts at the turn of the twentieth century – shortly after the period under consideration in this thesis. This thesis is thus a plea to reconsider established knowledge about the Bhadralok by resituating their behaviour in the singular context of nineteenth-century Bengali society, and thereby provide a better understanding of it

This study examines the effect on school achievement of a policy such as hostels, aimed at

giving children from a poor socioeconomic background an opportunity to receive education.

Data is collected from two different schools in a district in Andhra Pradesh, India, in which

both hostel students and day-scholar students, having a similar background, are studying.

Exam scores for three different subjects are used as dependent variables in the analysis. The

results indicate that private hostels do have a positive effect on achievement in all subjects,

thereby contributing to reducing the large gap in school achievement between different

socioeconomic groups

Drawing on twelve months of fieldwork in suburban Hyderabad, India, this thesis contributes to emerging debates on the Indian new middle classes and postcolonial middle classes more generally. I challenge images of a homogenous middle class enjoying the benefits of liberalization by highlighting the diversity in wealth, lifestyle and access to opportunities within this class sector. Contrary to the pervasive image of a hedonistic and morally corrupt new middle class, I assert the centrality of moral discourses to the construction of middle-class identity in Hyderabad. Middle-class Hyderabadis engage in moral discourses of ‘respectability’ and ‘open-mindedness’ in relation to caste, consumption, education, and women’s public and domestic roles. These discourses of morality are central to the reproduction of class and gender inequality as successfully balancing the demands of respectability and open-mindedness is particularly difficult for those with fewer resources such as the lower middle class and for women who are expected to embody authentic Indianness in their demure comportment, ‘traditional’ attire and commitment to ‘Indian’ family values, but are also liable to being judged ‘backward’ if their clothing and lack of education and paid employment are seen to be in conflict with fashion and open-mindedness. The focus on balance and compromise in middle-class Hyderabadis’ narratives echoes other work on postcolonial middle classes that has emphasised people’s efforts to adhere to local notions of respectable behaviour that are central to national identities while also attempting to align themselves with a ‘modern’ global consumer culture. In contrast to much of this literature, however, I challenge the notion that modernity and tradition, the local and the global are objects of desire in and of themselves and instead argue that they function as important reference points in discourses that legitimate the dominant position of men and those of upper class-caste status.

Several statistical studies show that women in developed countries, taken to be facing equal opportunities, are more environmentally benevolent in transport choice than men, as well as shape more environmentally benign (i.e. smaller) mobilities. Some researchers contend that a greater inclusion of women is needed in matters furthering sustainable development within the transport sector, because they believe women to be intrinsically more environmentally conscious. However, few qualitative studies explore the actual reasons behind women's more environmentally sustainable behavior in the transport sector. This qualitative study, conducted in Uppsala, aims to uncover the situation in present-day Sweden, a country renowned for its high level of sustainability and gender equality initiatives. Fourteen in-depth interviews were carried out (allowing for greater insight into the factors informing individuals' transport choices and mobility patterns) with a sample of individuals pertaining to two demographically different neighborhoods (providing an observation of the influence that other demographic and socio-economic factors might have). While the results show certain gendered undertones in the organization of the interviewed individuals' lifestyles, the reasons behind making certain transport choices and shaping one's mobility are reported by the study's subjects to be the same for both men and women. The primary factors guiding the interviewees' choices are predominantly linked to convenience, saving money, and saving time. Although the interviewees speak of facing equal opportunities, however, these appear to be to an extent still influenced by gender, mainly in the meaning ascribed to automobility and an unequal division of labor.

It is widely recognized that the world’s over-reliance on transportation contributes to many environmental problems, especially in urban areas. Sustainable mobility is a solution and an important dimension of a Smart City. Shared mobility services are part of sustainable mobility and they are widening its portfolio especially in the past decade. However, the number of users is still low compared to its high potential, and innovative solutions can only succeed with the combination of increasing the awareness of citizens, incentivizing them, and promoting their behavioural change. This paper is dedicated to the shared mobility business models as part of the collaborative consumption, and finding out the challenges and opportunities of this emerging market in a Swedish context and comparing it to a Moroccan one. The goal is to explore the key features of the main market players and the possible ways of improvements that could possibly take carpooling and car-sharing to a next level. It explores the high potential of gamification and other mechanisms to incentivize voluntary behavioural changes towards shared mobility solutions. In a first place the theoretical part provide an overview of the shared mobility in general with its different aspects highlighting the role of new technologies and internet in the development of this concept. An online survey aimed at testing the knowledge of the respondents on the concept, discover which elements affect their involvement and find out how things can be improved by analysing the feedbacks.
Det är allmänt känt att världens beroenden av transporter bidrar till många miljöproblem, särskilt i stadsområden. Hållbar mobilitet är en lösning och en viktig dimension i en smart stad. Delade mobilitetstjänster är en del av hållbar mobilitet och dess portfölj har utökats särskilt under det senaste decenniet. Antalet användare är dock fortfarande lågt jämfört med den höga potentialen och innovativa lösningar kan bara lyckas med kombinationen av att öka medvetenheten om medborgarna, stimulera dem och främja deras beteendeförändringar. Denna rapport är inriktat på affärsmodellerna för delad mobilitet som en del av konsumtion genom samarbete och identifierar utmaningarna och möjligheterna på den nya marknaden i ett svenskt sammanhang och jämför det med en marockansk. Målet är att utforska huvudaktörerna hos de viktigaste marknadsaktörerna och möjliga sätt för förbättringar som möjligen kan ta bilpoolning och bildelning till nästa nivå. Potentialen inom gamification och andra mekanismer för att stimulera frivilliga beteendemässiga förändringar mot gemensamma mobila lösningar undersöks. Inledningsvis ger den teoretiska delen en översikt över den delade mobiliteten i allmänhet med sina olika aspekter som framhäver rollen som ny teknik och internet vid utvecklingen av detta koncept. Genom en online-undersökning som syftar till att testa kunskapen om konceptet hos de svarande, har faktorer som påverkar deras engagemang och hur saker kan förbättras identifierats.

This thesis explores the dialectical relationship between gender and international student mobility (ISM). The focus is on the experiences of Indian students across three space-time locations: before the students left India; while abroad in Toronto; and their return to New Delhi. The value of this research is two-fold. Firstly, my research helps to fill the lacuna in ISM research that examines the phenomenon through a gender optic. Secondly, there is increasing interest in Canada and other countries – evident in the media and government policy – in international students from India. The study is located at the nexus of gender and mobility scholarship; it adopts Gendered Geographies of Power as a foundational framework. The research employed a multi-sited, mixed-methods approach to data collection. The data collection in the field sites of Toronto, Canada and New Delhi, India consisted of in-depth semi-structured interviews and participant observations. An online survey was mounted for the duration of the fieldwork to gather data on the broader population of Indian students abroad. The results of this survey provide context for the discussion in three empirical chapters. The first of the three empirical chapters explores the impact of gender relations in shaping motivations to study abroad. The second chapter examines how relations of power in and across multiple spaces (re)shape the students‟ performances of gender identities in everyday life in Toronto. The final empirical chapter examines the students‟ experience of return mobility as they attempt to adapt to a different (but familiar) gender context again. My research contributes to the growing body of scholarship on ISM as well as that on gender and migration. By employing a gendered perspective, the indepth interviews as well as ethnographic research reveals the shifting subjectivities of the migrants as they simultaneously negotiate multiple ethnic and kinship interactions in their everyday lived experiences. Secondly, the online survey presents the gendered class configurations of the socio-economic background of the Indian international students. Lastly, the „return‟ experiences of the students are differentiated by gender: more women than men found it harder to (re)negotiate their gender-expected performances in New Delhi. Furthermore, the „return mobility‟ of men appears to be more permanent than the return mobility of women.

The main motivations of this thesis are to bring new insights into the different forms of international assignment in a non-multinational context. For this purpose, the dissertation provides new evidence on the roles of different forms of international assignees in offshore insourcing and outsourcing arrangements. The thesis is based on four research essays. The first chapter develops a conceptual framework that links the extent of international assignments to the characteristics of service offshoring strategies in terms of drivers, task complexity, governance mode, and host country location. We argue that offshoring strategies are associated with different needs for control, coordination and transfer of tacit knowledge. Those needs are in turn best served by using a different combination of international assignments. The model suggests that opting for extensive international transfers when the offshoring strategy does not require doing so, exposes firms to unnecessary extra costs. On the contrary, limiting the use of international transfers below the level required to guarantee cross-border control, coordination and knowledge transfer increases the risk of not being able to integrate the offshored services. Therefore, the adequate use of various forms of international assignments (such as expatriation, inpatriation and virtual assignments) constitutes an important capability for the offshoring organization to be able to integrate globally dispersed value chain activities whilst at the same time containing costs. The aim of Chapter 2 is to develop a comprehensive integrative framework that provides a deeper understanding of the use of expatriates and inpatriates to exert control in the specific context of offshore outsourcing. This study extends the agency theory by investigating different practices used by expatriates and inpatriates to exert control on third party providers in order to reduce the agency problems of the client-provider relationships. The research approach consists of an exploratory qualitative study of 32 offshore outsourcing initiatives from 32 companies located in Belgium. The model suggests that even though expatriates and inpatriates play a vital role in exerting control through different strategic control practices implemented in the client company or the third-party provider, they may differ in various matters. Companies prefer to use inpatriates than expatriates as the latter is difficult to find, costly, have an attitude of dominance, and have difficulties in adjusting to the new environment. The specific advantage of using inpatriates is that they provide unique understanding and insight into ‘why things are happening’, which is difficult for expatriates to decipher. This emphasises that the process of inpatriating offshore members into the client company appears to hold significant potential in exerting control in offshore outsourcing relations. Control is a role that has traditionally been attributed to expatriates. Our research shows that inpatriates offer valid alternative with several advantages in the context of offshoring.Chapter 3 develops a comprehensive framework of potential factors responsible for hindering the learning process of offshore team members that should be considered in an offshore insourcing context. This paper adopts a longitudinal case study approach for over a period of one year for studying a large firm in the financial services sector based in Belgium and offshoring its service in Poland. The study focuses on a firm that has set up its own service operations abroad using an offshore insourcing arrangement. Based on a longitudinal study, this research recognizes delayed barriers that still hinder the learning process of offshore team members. Unexpectedly, the study demonstrates that the role of expatriates and inpatriates is an influencing factor (positive or negative) in the learning process of offshore team members. In addition, the results highlighted the fact that short-term perspectives for companies to fully benefit from their actions may not be the solution to enable offshore team members to learn their tasks efficiently in the long-run. Even though offshoring provides access to lower costs and specialised resources, the primary challenge faced by companies is to be able to manage its knowledge efficiently across locations and facilitate the access of knowledge to its offshore team members. The purpose of chapter 4 is to explore how a large firm in the financial service sector transfers different types of knowledge, particularly through different forms of international assignees in an offshore insourcing arrangement. This study adopted a single in-depth case study of a firm based in Belgium where his offshore location is in Poland. The findings from 31 interviews concluded that different forms of international assignees are used in the form of complementary sequences to transfer various types of knowledge during the offshore insourcing arrangement. Therefore, all international assignments are not the same and should not be generalised into one category. Further, the findings offer qualitative evidence to support the roles of different forms of international assignees for creating and retaining new knowledge and avoiding knowledge loss for the organisation.

Vancouver has been cited as an exemplar of successful urban planning, and newspaper articles, surveys, Best Of Lists and academic reports would seem to agree. The city has become a brand of "livability" that is packaged and sold as the "Vancouver Model" of urban planning. One of the early outcomes of the city's livability-centred planning ethos was the construction of an enormously expensive light rail transit line, the Sky Train, which has subsequently become an icon of the city's livability. In this project, I investigate the extent to which Vancouver's substantial investment into automated light rail has facilitated efficient and equitable urban mobility, a key feature of livability. I argue that the broader context of the Vancouver Model built on a flourishing postindustrial economy is shaping the geography of urban mobility just as much as the light rail line itself. I argue that this is related to the suite of changes in Vancouver's urban form in the past number of years, which have bifurcated into two related but unacknowledged categories: an official face of urbanism comprising the feted forms that have come to be known as "The Vancouver Model"; and an unrecognized side that is part and parcel of the former, involving dramatic re-configurations in rental housing and the social geography of the city-region. I present preliminary evidence that suggests that tensions between the official and unacknowledged sides of Vancouver's urbanism are shaping the region's geography of urban mobility to an extent beyond the influence of the city's transportation planning and heavy investments into automated light rail.

The transport sector is responsible for large amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and dueto the continued growth of both passengers and shopping of goods, these emissions are constantlyincreasing. Globally, 50% of the energy within the transport sector is consumed by passenger carsand commercial vans. Hence, sustainability within mobility is of interest and there are severaldifferent ways to address this issue. One possible solution could be car sharing which is a mobilityproduct-service system (PSS) where the private car is replaced by rental cars. However, diffusionof such PSSs is slow, and they are still limited to small niche markets.In this thesis, a dataset from the research project KTH Mobility Pool (KMP) has been analysed.KMP involved a mobility PSS in which electric vehicles (EVs) were integrated with a digitalbooking system, in a shared use system. The users tried out the PSS during a six-months trialperiod. The aim with this thesis was to identify different factors involved in the adoption of newsustainable mobility PSS. During the thesis work additional research questions emerged regardingthe motivation to participate in trials within new sustainable mobility PSS and what impact thetrial had on the users from an environmental perspective. An exploratory and inductive researchapproach was used, with a data analysis influence by grounded theory. Moreover, the thesis workinvolved a mixed method approach since the analysed dataset derived from interviews, surveysand workshops with the KMP users.Through the comparison of the analysed data and existing literature some conclusions could bedrawn. Common motivators for participating in the KMP trial were the opportunity to try out anew technology, saving money and interest in technology, cars and the environment. Five factorsof importance during the trial could be identified: convenience, car ownership, economy,environment, and safety. The impact of the trial on the users was an increased environmentalconsciousness where the users became more aware of their car usage and felt more environmental.Moreover, the trial also gave the users a more positive attitude towards EVs concerning thedevelopment of the EV market, their range and practicality. In conclusion, more research is neededto unfold and establish a complete and holistic view of the adoption of sustainable mobility PSS.However, the findings in this thesis work have answered some of the questions regarding theadoption of sustainable mobility PSS, which can be useful for future trials.
Transportsektorn ansvarar för en stor mängd av växthusgasutsläpp och då både antalet passagerareökar och varuhandeln växer, så ökar även utsläppen konstant. Globalt så går 50% av energin inomtransportsektorn till personbilar och kommersiella fordon. Således är hållbarhet inom mänskligtransport viktig och det finns flera sätt att angripa detta dilemma. En möjlig lösning är samåkning,vilket är ett produkt- och tjänstesystem (PSS) där den privata bilen ersätts med en hyrbil. Dock såär spridningen av sådana PSS långsam och de är fortfarande begränsade till små nischmarknader.I detta examensarbete har en datauppsättning från forskningsprojektet KTH Mobility Pool (KMP)analyserats. KMP involverade ett PSS för mänsklig transport, i vilket elbilar var integrerade medett digitalt bokningssystem, i ett gemensamt användningssystem. Detta PSS användes utavanställda på ett tillverkningsföretag till och från jobbet samt under arbetstid, under en sex månaderlång försöksperiod. Målet med examensarbetet var att identifiera de olika faktorer som ärinvolverade i införandet och användandet av nya hållbara PSS för mänsklig transport. Underarbetets gång så dök ytterligare frågeställningar upp angående vad som motiverade användarna atttesta på PSS för mänsklig transport, och hur testprocessen påverkade dem ur miljösynpunkt. Enundersökande och induktiv forskningsmetod användes, med en dataanalys inspirerad av grundadteori. Examensarbetet involverade dessutom en blandning av både kvalitativa och kvantitativametoder eftersom den analyserade datauppsättningen bestod av intervjuer, undersökningar ochworkshops med KMP-användarna.Genom jämförelse av data som analyserats med befintlig litteratur, kunde vissa slutsatser dras.Vanliga motivationsfaktorer för att delta i KMP-projektet var möjligheten att prova på ny teknik,spara pengar och intressen för teknik, bilar och miljö. Fem faktorer av betydelse under försöketkunde identifieras: bekvämlighet, bilägande, ekonomi, miljö och säkerhet. Effekten av försöket påanvändarna var en ökad miljömedvetenhet där användarna blev mer medvetna om sinbilanvändning och kände att de gjorde något gott för miljön. Dessutom gav testet användarna enmer positiv inställning till elbilar angående marknadens utveckling, elbilars räckvidd och deraspraktiska egenskaper. Sammanfattningsvis behövs mer forskning för att utveckla och upprätta enhelhetsbild över de faktorer som är involverade i införandet och användandet av ett hållbart PSSför mänsklig transport. Dock så har detta examensarbete svarat på frågor angående några av dessafaktorer, vilket kan vara användbart för framtida projekt.

Special Operations Air Mobility Vehicle (SOAMV) is the military term used to describe the Weight Shift Control (WSC) aircraft. The WSC aircraft is a type of Light-Sport aircraft that has certain characteristics that distinguish it from the more vague aircraft industry segment of Light-Sport aircraft. The WSC aircraft consists of three major, but simple parts: the wing, the carriage, and the pilot. Everything about this aircraft is based on simple, portable, and inexpensive concepts with very little use of modern technology. This keeps the costs down and maximizes the basics of aviation, to include calling on the skills and training of the pilot. Several manufacturers produce this commercial aircraft. They are Air Creation USA, Airborne, Evolution, Concept Aviation, Manta Aircraft S.A., and Northwing Design. This project has three objectives: (1) describe the WSC aircraft and its capabilities. Assess its benefits and costs relative to the V-22 Osprey, the newest troop transport helicopter, and the US Air Force (USAF) Predator, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Drone; (2) perform an industry analysis of the WSC training and aircraft sales industry; and (3) determine the expected government training capabilities and costs.

With the evolution of nowadays knowledge-based economies, the labour class becomes more competitive. As a way of getting skills that bring benefits to their careers, university students take advantage of the many opportunities available and go abroad to study. This study develops and empirically tests a structural model that examines the antecedents that influence the decision-making process of an Erasmus student under mobility for studies (EMS) in Aveiro, Coimbra and Porto (2014-2015). Reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis and linear regressions were used to evaluate the model. Based on a survey with a sample of 872 valid responses, this study has demonstrated that EMS students are also influenced by touristic factors, which gives support to what has recently been approached by other authors. Conclusions and suggestions can be applied by other organizations, mainly Higher Education Institutions in order to attract more EMS students.

La sociologia si è occupata a lungo delle migrazioni come un problema sociale. Tuttavia, di recente, è stato dimostrato che queste si differenziano su basi sociali, economiche, culturali e di genere. Da tale differenziazione, questa ricerca decostruisce il concetto di migrazione, includendo l’analisi della classe sociale come componente fondamentale per la comprensione del fenomeno. Dalla crisi del 2008, il gap socio-economico tra Nord e Sud Europa si è allargato, producendo nuovi flussi migratori. In dieci anni, in capitali come Londra e Berlino il numero di giovani sud europei è quasi raddoppiato. Anche se l’immigrazione è divenuta centrale nelle politiche europee e nella ricerca sociologica, questi flussi hanno suscitato scarso interesse. In contesti di crescita demografica e aumento dei prezzi delle case, come Berlino, i migranti sud-europei sono considerati, da una parte, migranti economici, dall’altra come giovani in cerca di uno stile di vita urbano e cosmopolita nei quartieri in via di gentrificazione. La ricerca analizza le ragioni politiche ed analitiche alla base dei processi di categorizzazione della mobilità. Per farlo, si considera questa come risorsa che genera reddito, ma in un modo iniquo. Quali sono I modi in cui la classe sociale influenza la mobilità e come questa viene incorporata in un regime di governance della migrazione? Come va intesa la relazione tra mobilità e processi di formazione di classe? La ricerca oscilla tra queste domande, contribuendo ai campi dell’analisi della classe sociale e degli studi sulla migrazione in due modi distinti. In primo luogo, la parte teorica volge all’analisi dell’ascesa, del declino e della riscoperta del concetto di classe sociale, problematizzandone le teorie. Inoltre, si riconsidera il concetto Weberiano della “condotta di vita” per comprendere il ruolo dei rapporti di produzione e di riproduzione. In secondo luogo quindi, la parte empirica della ricerca, basata su una web survey, 40 interviste e 3 focus groups, studia i modi di accesso alle risorse sviluppati da giovani italiani emigrati a Berlino. Si illustra come questi abbiano una condotta di vita basata su un continuo imperativo a muoversi che esonda dal campo della mobilità spaziale a quello del lavoro, o anche alle relazioni. Si analizza come i giovani migranti siano coinvolti da processi di differenziazione sociale nel mercato del lavoro e in quello abitativo; in che modo interagiscano con i processi di “inclusione differenziale” influenzati sia dall'economia che dall'istituzione statale. La logica del “the best and the brightest” si manifesta già con le procedure per la registrazione anagrafica, cruciale per stabilizzarsi in città. Così viene riconosciuto lo status formale di migranti dell’Unione Europea e assegnato un posto all’interno della “gerarchia di cittadinanza”. Coloro che invece rimangono a lungo esclusi dall’ottenimento della registrazione, continuano ad essere considerati come turisti, vivendo esperienze di estremo sfruttamento e deprivazione. Esposti alle forze centrifughe della precarietà abitativa, occupazionale e relazionale; molti sviluppano una quotidianità marcata dal consumo di droghe e dal clubbing. La ricerca mostra come gli stessi migranti contribuiscano a definire i confini simbolici tra i meritevoli e i non, partendo dall'etica del lavoro o di un misurato edonismo. In conclusione la ricerca dimostra come la migrazione di giovani dal Sud verso il Nord dell’Europa, tutt’altro che “libera” e priva di attriti e condizionamenti, sia gestita localmente con un' “inclusione differenziale”. La governance della migrazione non punta infatti ad una riduzione del fenomeno, ma ad una sua intensificazione e all'attivazione di una mobilità permanente. Così, se la mobilità diventa una risorsa, economica innanzitutto, la questione centrale nella società contemporanea riguarda la proprietà di questa risorsa ed il suo controllo.
For long time research has studied migration as a social problem, focusing on the disadvantages connected with it. However, it has recently proved that migration has become increasingly differentiated along social, economic, gender and cultural lines. Against this diversifying background, the research intends to unravel the concept of migration by introducing social class as a crucial intervening variable. Since the economic crisis started in 2008, the social and economic gap between the North and the South of Europe has widened. A major effect has been the increase of migratory flows of young people. In metropolises like Berlin or London, young South Europeans have almost doubled within ten years. While migration has become a central node of European politics and research, however, these migratory flows have been largely neglected. In urban contexts characterized by growing population and exploding rent prices, such as Berlin, young South Europeans are framed at one time as economic migrants repopulating the guest workers routes and lifestyle migrants moving to the gentrifying neighborhoods of the city. The research questions the political and analytical grounds of such processes of categorization of human mobility. It suggests considering mobility as an income-generating resource unevenly distributed across the population. The exploration of differentials of mobility, i.e. the different access to power and control over fixity and mobility, is the analytical key to open the black-box of migration. How does the social class of migrants affect their mobility and the ways how it is incorporated into a migration regime? How is mobility related to processes of class formation in contemporary capitalism? The analysis oscillates between the two research questions, contributing to the fields of Class Analysis and Migration Research in two distinct ways. Firstly, the theoretical part tackles the rise, decline and renaissance of the class concept, showing the blind spots of class analysis. It pleads for the re-discovery of the Weberian concept of life conduct to hold together the role of production and reproduction in people´s practices of livelihood. Secondly, the empirical part, i.e. a web survey, 40 interviews and 3 focus groups, explains how Italian migrants access resources in Berlin developing a life conduct predicated on mobility. The imperative to move spills over from the domain of spatial mobility into the domain of work, with the refusal of doing the same job “forever”, and into that of reproduction, with the construction of flexible forms of emotional engagement. Newcomers enter processes of social differentiation on the housing and labor market, in interaction with “differential inclusion” operated by state and market. The logic of “the best and the brightest” applies to them via a mix of requirements for getting a registration, the key to fixing oneself to the city. Once registered, they formally become migrant subjects placed in a quite privileged position within the hierarchy of citizenship status. Those who are stuck in the fatiguing process of registering, however, are formally considered as tourists, while they are experiencing deprivation and hyper-exploitation. Exposed to strong centrifugal forces such as housing, occupational and relational precarity, they often engage in clubbing and drugs. The research highlights how migrants participate in the construction of symbolic boundaries between deserving and undeserving movers, based on the valorization of hard work and moderated hedonism. Finally, migration from the South to the North of Europe, far from being “free” and frictionless, is managed by processes of differential inclusion placed at the local level. Endless mobilization, rather than migration reduction, appears as the main policy goal for the governance of intra-EU migration. If mobility is a resource, then, the crucial issue is about its ownership and control in contemporary societies.

Since its emergence in the early seventies, glam rock has been theoretically categorized as a moment in British popular culture in which essentialist ideas about male gendered identity in particular were rendered problematic for a popular music audience. In providing both a discursive reading of glam during the period 1971-1974 and new research on glam's influence on its male working-class fans, I argue that whilst this reading of glam is valid, insufficient attention has been given to an examination of the relevance of social mobility vis-ä-vis the construction of self-identity in relation to glam. My thesis is therefore concerned with raising questions about social class in addition to interrogating questions of gender. In undertaking a study of the ethno-biographies of a sample of glam's original working-class male fans, the thesis contends that glam's political significance is better understood as a moment in popular culture in which an educationally aspirant section of the male working class sought to express its difference by identifying with the self-conscious performance of a more feminized masculinity it located in glam. This rearticulation of masculinity, performed by an increasingly self reflexive subject, alive to the social and cultural upheavals of the period, was discursively represented as a modern development in contrast to the dominant representations of working-class masculinity - bound by tradition and community and thus essentialized as resolutely masculine - that had until that historical moment enjoyed hegemonic status. The thesis argues that the modem/unmodern dialectic at play here was replicated in glam's divergent artistic factions, which aligned themselves to competing aesthetic positions. In critiquing this process, the thesis engages with the work of Bourdieu (1993a, 2003,2007a) to raise questions about how this transition from unmodern to modern was affectively experienced by glam's male fans. The thesis concludes with an examination of glam rock's legacies in respect of more recent performances of masculinity by working-class young men seeking mobility. Finally, it draws on Skeggs' (2004) work to argue that class-based identities are always fixed by the more powerful other in order to be morally judged.

Dans le dernier siècle, le transport et en particulier l'utilisation des voitures privées a émergé comme une des sources principales d'émission de CO2 (deuxième derrière la production d'énergie). Plusieurs villes dans le monde ont mis en place des stratégies pour faire face à ce phénomène afin de limiter les impacts environnementaux néfastes. Certaines stratégies n'ont pas pu atteindre leur objectif, voire ils ont eu des réactions négatives auprès des individus. Le but de cette thèse de doctorat consiste à proposer une méthodologie et une plateforme pour la modélisation et la simulation du système de mobilité. Cette plateforme sera ensuite utilisée pour implémenter des scénarios d'occupation de sol et de transport dans un monde virtuel pour étudier leur impact sur le comportement humain en termes de mobilité. Pour la modélisation de la dynamique des déplacements évoqués par la mobilité locale, nous proposons une méthode hybride (automates cellulaires et systèmes multi-agents) permettant de traiter des données complexes tout en les intégrant au sein de différentes échelles spatio-temporelles
In the last century, transport and in particular the use of private cars has emerged as a major source of CO2 emissions (second behinf energy production). Several cities in the world have put in place strategies to deal with this problem and to reduce its adverse enviromental impacts. Some strategies could not achieve their objectives, and had negative reactions from individuals. The ail of this PhD thesis is to propose a methodology and a platform for modelling and simulating people mobility systems. The developed plat form is, then, used to implement land use and transportation scenarios and strategies in a virtual world to study their impact on human behavior in terms of mobility. To develop this platform, we propose a hybrid model, combining cellular automata and multi-agent systems, capable of handling the complexity of the mobility system able to present it at various spatial ans temporal scales

The human behaviour is the greatest source of greenhouse gas emissions, and according to the Paris Agreement, the transport sector should lower their emissions by 70 % compared to the year 2010. Today, many organizations seek competitive advantage from service-oriented business opportunities to create further value for customers by fulfilling their problem and need. A sustainable transport alternative that has become more popular around different cities is Mobility as a Service (MaaS). MaaS is a possible strategy for organizations to support climate change and develop further services to their customers. The concept aims to offer an alternative to travel more sustainable. MaaS consists of several service providers that offers a combined service through an integrated platform, which aims to be a more convenient and less expensive option. Today, there are four major aspects that need to be fulfilled to implement the service. Apart from the concept, political and government support are essential. Sharing economy has not only become a trend but something the society is facing. Therefore this study will investigate the possibility of a mobility concept through a business model perspective where circularity and sustainability supplementary are lifted through layers to understand the business opportunity more thoroughly. Local service providers and the utility company were interviewed to understand the feasibility of MaaS in relation to existing capabilities in the city. The study concludes that it is a large project to develop a service-oriented strategy that usually is uncommon for utility companies. Today, external partners or new businesses are needed for a MaaS solution to become marketable in Skellefte˚a. However, being first on the market can have long-term advantages and create a lock-in effect. Although, consumer perspective is an essential parameter that future research needs to investigate in to fully understand the business potential.
Det äanskliga beteendet är en avgörande faktor till utsläpp av fossila bränslen och enligt Paris avtalet så ska transportsektorn minska utsläppen av fossila bränslen med 70 % i jämförelse med 2010. Till följd av det så söker sig många organisationer till mer service inriktade koncept för att främja hållbarhet och skapa nya affärsmöjligheter genom att erbjuda kunder ett ökat värde genom att erbjuda mer anpassade erbjudanden och tjänster. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) är ett relativt nytt hållbart koncept som har etablerats i allt fler städer, och det är en möjlighet för organisationer inom transportsektorn att bli mer miljövänliga och stötta klimatavtalet. Konceptet erbjuder en möjlighet att resa mer hållbart genom att integrera flera olika transport alternativ i en och samma plattform. Genom att erbjuda flera tjänster i en och samma applikation kan resekostnaderna minskas och det kan ge upphov till ett flexiblare och mer anpassat resealternativ efter varje individs enskilda behov. Idag finns inget flexibelt resealternativ för invånarna i samhället, och det är en perfekt möjlighet för bolag att undersöka ifall de har resurser att ingå i ett sådant koncept. Det finns fyra distinkta krav som måste uppfyllas om MaaS är lämpligt att implementera i en stad och även statliga och politiska finansiella medel och stöd är nödvändigheter som behöver undersökas. Delningsekonomi har blivit en allt vanligare trend och det ställer samhällen för en kommande omställning. Därav kommer denna studie att undersöka MaaS från ett affärsmodellsperspektiv där delning och cirkulär ekonomi tillämpas närmare genom två komplimenterade lager av ett affärsmodells ramverk. Förutsättningarna för konceptet ges av intervjuer av lokala transport aktörer i staden samt av energibolaget för att förstå rimligheten av en mobilitetslösning i staden. Studien visar att det är ett omfattande projekt som inriktar sig på tjänsterelaterade strategier som är en ovanligt för produktrelaterade bolag. Studien visar att det krävs fler aktörer för att implementera en mobilitetslösning och externa samarbeten är nödvändiga för att lyckas göra detta till en lönsam affärsmöjlighet. Idag är konceptet relativt nytt för de flesta lokala aktörerna och genom att investera och undersöka vidare i MaaS kan det på långsikt ge lönsamma följder och skapa en låsning effekt genom att vara först på marknaden. För att förstå närmare hur samhället och de blivande konsumenterna upplever en delad ekonomi och en integrerad tjänst krävs vidare påbyggnad av studien.

People have many reasons to be mobile, from day-to-day activities involving work, studies, and family, to maintaining participation in society, health, and quality of life. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is increasingly being deployed in the transportation context to improve individuals' mobility; for example via information provision. Advanced use of ICT in transportation is commonly referred to as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Despite many opportunities for ITS services to enhance personal mobility, the collection and use of movement and activity data also poses challenges, as it facilitates easier access to more information for people to use, but about them as well. Knowledge about users' perceptions of advantages and disadvantages (for example assurance and privacy) associated with the use of ITS services is limited. Even less is known regarding to what degree their perceptions inﬂuence their acceptance of the services or their behavior. The aim of this thesis project is to gather empirical interview and survey data from multiple user groups in order to learn more about the factors impacting users' attitudes towards ITS services. In exploring not only demographic factors, but also the potential positive and negative impacts from the users' perspective, this project attempts to paint a more holistic view of the issues surrounding the possibilities for ITS to enhance mobility. From the two case studies presented in this thesis, results indicate that respondents are pro-technology and are not highly concerned about privacy in general, but other ethical issues serve to shed light on the situations of diﬀerent user groups. In the ﬁrst case study with visually impaired individuals, the ability to lead an autonomous and independent life is a strong driver for the acceptance of a pedestrian navigation system, which the users themselves would choose to use. While the participants are generally optimistic about the possibilities of using ITS to enhance their mobility, their comments illustrate that ICT development does not necessarily result in ethically sound, universally accessible technology, and that a coordinated eﬀort on multiple fronts is vital in addressing users' needs and meeting broader social goals such as social inclusion and the accessibility of transportation, technology, and information. In the second case study with professional heavy goods vehicle drivers and their employers, the drivers are in a dependent (employee) position and have less personal control over the use of ITS services in the vehicles. The employers are perceived as the greater beneﬁciaries of the services, which could be linked to the systematic lack of feedback to the drivers. Generally, the respondents trust the employers to protect the drivers' privacy. However, there also exist gaps in organizational communication regarding data gathering and handling practices as well as in expected versus stated behavior modiﬁcation as a result of workplace monitoring. As employees are not normally able to provide informed consent due to their dependent position, recommendations for organizations include performing comprehensive impact assessments, engaging in an ongoing dialogue with employees, and providing an opt-out option in order to move towards a more informed consent.

In recent years ‘mobility management’—a means of promoting modal shift and alternatives to the journey—has gained importance in continental Europe. Especially in metropolitan areas this approach is seen as a way of improving the effectiveness of traffic system management measures. This paper outlines some key options and constraints of transferring mobility management to rural regions, drawing on evidence gathered from a research and demonstration project currently underway in rural regions of North Rhine-Westphalia. Basic conditions for implementing mobility management in rural regions as well as preliminary findings are presented.

Personnel transfers within the internal labour markets of large multilocational organizations are shown to be the largest single cause of interregional population migration in contemporary Japan. The challenges which such transfers present to conventional migration theory are examined in the context of Japanese personnel management practices, especially the so-called "lifetime employment system". A typology of transfers under this system is developed, and a typical pattern of career mobility described. The incidence of personnel transfers is examined in respect of industry, company size and the personal characteristics of transferees, and the locus of real decision-making power is explored. The temporal and spatial characteristics of interregional transfers are described in detail. Two case studies illustrate the incidence of transfers in stable organizations and in industries undergoing structural transformation. The first case study, of the Ministry of Labour, reveals intricate relationships between geographical mobility and the career paths of senior government officials, while the second, which examines personnel transfers within the Nippon Steel Corporation, shows how transfers are incorporated within broader policies for structural adjustment. The housing needs of transferees are often met directly by the employer through the provision of company housing, a distinctive feature of the Japanese case, as is the prevalence of "partial migration", in which the primary migrant (the transferee) leaves his/her family behind for the duration of a posting. These aspects of the Japanese transfer system are examined in detail, before a concluding chapter sets the agenda for future research.

This thesis investigates the importance of temporal rhythms in the study of information infrastructures (IIs), responding to the call to address an II’s “biography” by focusing on its evolution over time. It enriches understanding of how socially constructed rhythms, a temporal structure under-examined in the II literature, influence II cultivation. A strategic niche project to develop an e-mobility II in Berlin is used as the case study and reveals the influence of rhythm in disciplining (constraining) and modeling (motivating) II cultivation. It demonstrates how the intermediary may mediate these influences through the interventions of harmonising, riffing and composing. Based on these interventions, the study develops the concept of facilitated II cultivation, which adds to the emergent literature exploring the tension between planned and emergent infrastructure work. In doing so, the study presents a framework that helps combine short-term implementation concerns (strategic interventions by the intermediary) with long-term path dependency and evolutionary concerns (influences of past and future temporal rhythms) for IIs.

Les villes sont des centres d'activité essentiels, mais leurs populations croissantes amplifient les préoccupations concernant la durabilité environnementale, la gestion des ressources et l'accès équitable à la mobilité. Pour relever ces défis, il faut opérer un changement de paradigme dans le domaine des transports urbains. Les innovations émergentes en matière de mobilité intelligente, notamment les véhicules partagés automatisés électriques (SAV), offrent une solution prometteuse pour redéfinir les cadres de la mobilité urbaine.Ces véhicules offrent le potentiel de révolutionner les transports en proposant des alternatives respectueuses de l'environnement et accessibles. Cependant, leur intégration réussie dans les environnements urbains nécessite une compréhension approfondie des stratégies de déploiement et de leurs impacts subséquents. Cette thèse vise à explorer les complexités entourant le déploiement des SAV et à étudier leurs implications potentielles pour le développement urbain durable dans les villes européennes.Elle se concentre sur les stratégies de déploiement et leur intégration dans les systèmes de transport. En utilisant la planification de scénarios, des revues de littérature et des calculs d'externalités, elle évalue les stratégies potentielles, en soulignant le rôle crucial de l'intégration pour des impacts positifs dans différents contextes urbains. L'analyse met en lumière comment les minibus automatisés (AM) dans le cadre d'une Mobilité en tant que Service (MaaS) et d'un Système de Transport Intelligent (ITS) pourraient soutenir les transports publics et fournir une solution aux défis de la mobilité urbaine tout en favorisant simultanément le développement urbain durable. Les recommandations politiques mettent en avant l'adaptation des infrastructures, l'engagement des parties prenantes et la promotion des transports multimodaux, en soulignant l'intégration des SAV pour réduire les coûts externes et encourager des pratiques de transport durables dans les villes
Cities are central hubs of activity, but their growing populations amplify concerns regarding environmental sustainability, resource management, and equitable access to mobility. To address these challenges, there needs to be a paradigm shift in urban transportation.Emerging innovations in smart mobility, specifically electric Shared Automated Vehicles (SAV), offer a promising solution to redefine urban mobility frameworks. These vehicles provide the potential to change the current transportation paradigm by offering environmentally friendly and accessible alternatives. However, their successful integration into urban settings requires a comprehensive understanding of deployment strategies and their subsequent impacts. This thesis aims to delve into the complexities surrounding the deployment of SAV, investigating their potential implications for Sustainable Urban Development in European cities.It focuses on deployment strategies and integration into transportation systems. Using scenario planning literature reviews and externalities calculations, it assesses potential strategies, emphasising integration's crucial role in positive impacts across urban contexts. The analysis highlights how Automated minibuses (AM) within a Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) and an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) could support public transport and provide a solution for urban mobility challenges in cities while simultaneously fostering Sustainable Urban Development. Policy recommendations highlight infrastructure adaptation, stakeholder engagement, and promotion of intermodal transport, emphasizing SAV's integration for reducing external costs and fostering sustainable transportation practices in cities

This study investigated teacher mobility situations in a case study school and the underlying factors influencing mobility intentions. Data was collected and analyzed using a mix-model approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods. The research participants were primary in-service teachers at the case study school, but not include teachers on loan from public schools and reemployed after retirement. To explain how different factors impact teachers’ mobility intentions, the data was interpreted and categorized using Alderfer’s ERG theory, which contends that human beings have the need for existence, relatedness, and growth. The results of this study are:(1) Working in the public schools is optimal occupational choice for most teachers because of its overwhelming advantages, such as better salaries and work benefits, job security, and better professional development opportunities, which can satisfy teachers’ needs for existence, relatedness and growth all at one and to a high degree. (2) Teachers’ mobility intention is the result of comparison between the present job and the potential jobs provided by other schools and other industries based on their different degrees of demand. (3) Many of the factors that influence teachers’ mobility intentions are under the school’s control, which enable schools to take an active role in stabilizing teachers’ mobility intentions. (4) Teachers’ mobility behavior is determined not only by mobility intention but also by mobility competence. Hence, it is better for school to make appropriate decisions and actions within school’s capacity to teachers’ mobility behaviors based on fully understanding their needs, their mobility intentions and their mobility competence.

The transport sector is an extensive contributor to the total CO2 emissions, and private transports hold a vast share. This has implications on environmental and human health, which eventually have economic consequences for society. Equal access to opportunities is essential in a sustainable society and public transport is a crucial element. Apart from public transport, physical active transport modes are key components in a sustainable transport system. The aim of this thesis was through an intersectional perspective to gain deeper understanding about travel mode choices and to identify barriers to use of public transport. This thesis comprises an extensive literature review of 62 articles, reviews and publications on travel behavior and travel mode choice undertaken in different parts of Sweden, Germany, UK, Portugal and the USA. A limited case study shares through nine qualitative interviews the travel experiences of four men and five women in different ages in Nåntuna/Vilan and Sävja in Uppsala, Sweden. The influencing factors were categorized and later intersectionally analyzed with the respect to gender, age and socioeconomic class. The analysis revealed that travel mode choices are complex and can be made for various reasons. Access to a car, habits, travel pattern and time indicated to be the most influencing factors. Economic resources seemed to influence the availability of transport mode, and indications could be seen that economic resources might impair gender differences. Looking at preferences and actual mode choice, the study sample illustrates that men, older, and richer, are having more opportunities to take their preferable mode choice. Planning factors appeared to both promote and constrain the use of public transport. Public transport seemed to have hard to meet everyone’s need, and indicated to have low competitiveness to the car. It is suggested that future research focuses on how to meet more people’s need in order to increase the use of public transport by its own attractiveness. Further research is also suggested about the health perspective of physical active modes and public transport. The study revealed difficulties in studying experiences outside the white, majority Swedish norm. More time would have been needed to include ethnicity, as it is an important aspect and should be included in future research.
Transportsektorn bidrar till en omfattande del av det totala koldioxidutsläppet, och privata transporter utgör en ansenlig del av detta.

En mängd olika faktorer indikerade på att påverka valet av färdmedel, bland annat tillgången till bil, vanor, attityder, resmönster och restiden. Dessutom indikerar resultat att maktfaktorer som kön, ålder och socioekonomisk klass formar möjligheterna till att välja färdmedel. Indikationer tyder på att ekonomiska resurser styr tillgången på färdmedelsval samt kan minska könsskillnader. Det emellertid ringa urvalet exemplifierar att män, äldre och rikare har större möjligheter att välja sitt önskvärda färdmedelsval. Respondenternas erfarenheter visar att planeringsfaktorer kan både främja och försvåra användandet av kollektivtrafiken. Kollektivtrafiken verkade ha svårt att möta människors olika behov och därmed vara konkurrenskraftig i förhållande till bilen. Mer forskning om detta är nödvändig för att öka och behålla resenärer utifrån kollektivtrafikens egen attraktionskraft. Vidare så föreslås ytterligare studier om länken mellan hälsa, fysiskt aktiva färdmedelsval och kollektivtrafikanvändande. Studien innefattar inte erfarenheter från personer med annan bakgrund än vit, majoritetssvensk eftersom det hade krävt mer tid än vad denna studie medgav.

In times of progressive urbanization and increased environmental awareness, the mobility sector faces the challenge to satisfy an increasing demand, while simultaneously decreasing the negative externalities of transportation. The emerging concept Mobility as a Service (MaaS) claims to resolve this conflict, by offering individualized and seamless mobility through combination of all available modes. This thesis quantifies the tank to wheel (TTW) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of a MaaS implementation and simulates effects of potential variations in the service. The pilot under focus is an alteration of MaaS, which is exclusively available to the work force of a specific corporation. This variation is called Corporate Mobility as a Service (CMaaS). The evaluation is based on cross-sectional survey among the employees and operational data from the CMaaS operator. The transport demand model applies a person category approach. The total daily GHG emitted by the work force’s on-site mobility is estimated to 3.735 tCO2. Compared to on-site trips by private cars, trips with CMaaS emit less than half as many GHG emissions per passenger kilometer traveled. This highlights the environmental benefits of MaaS, especially in replacing short trips by private car. Due to the composition of the underlying data sources and the therefore chosen methodology the reactivity to implemented scenarios is very limited. Thus, analysis and interpretation of the results is restricted to largely aggregated levels. Nonetheless, this study offers an initial orientation point for further estimation of TTW GHG emissions by MaaS schemes. Beyond, it highlights the lack in understanding and modelling of corporate mobility in general.

Dans le dernier siècle, le transport et en particulier l'utilisation des voitures privées a émergé comme une des sources principales d'émission de CO2 (deuxième derrière la production d'énergie). Plusieurs villes dans le monde ont mis en place des stratégies pour faire face à ce phénomène afin de limiter les impacts environnementaux néfastes. Certaines stratégies n'ont pas pu atteindre leur objectif, voire ils ont eu des réactions négatives auprès des individus. Le but de cette thèse de doctorat consiste à proposer une méthodologie et une plateforme pour la modélisation et la simulation du système de mobilité. Cette plateforme sera ensuite utilisée pour implémenter des scénarios d'occupation de sol et de transport dans un monde virtuel pour étudier leur impact sur le comportement humain en termes de mobilité. Pour la modélisation de la dynamique des déplacements évoqués par la mobilité locale, nous proposons une méthode hybride (automates cellulaires et systèmes multi-agents) permettant de traiter des données complexes tout en les intégrant au sein de différentes échelles spatio-temporelles
In the last century, transport and in particular the use of private cars has emerged as a major source of CO2 emissions (second behinf energy production). Several cities in the world have put in place strategies to deal with this problem and to reduce its adverse enviromental impacts. Some strategies could not achieve their objectives, and had negative reactions from individuals. The ail of this PhD thesis is to propose a methodology and a platform for modelling and simulating people mobility systems. The developed plat form is, then, used to implement land use and transportation scenarios and strategies in a virtual world to study their impact on human behavior in terms of mobility. To develop this platform, we propose a hybrid model, combining cellular automata and multi-agent systems, capable of handling the complexity of the mobility system able to present it at various spatial ans temporal scales

Dans cette thèse, je propose un modèle d'intégration de la carte à puce dans un système réparti. Ce modèle, basé sur la technologie du Middleware Orienté Message (MOM), prend en charge la gestion de la mobilité selon deux approches : l'insensibilité au contexte et la sensibilité au contexte. L'insensibilité au contexte consiste à rendre transparent la mobilité aux applications; la sensibilité au contexte consiste à notifier les changements de contexte aux applications, leurs permettant de s'adapter à l'environnement. J'ai mis en œuvre deux prototypes d'infrastructure validant le modèle défini. Le premier permet aux applications Internet de communiquer, de façon insensible au contexte, avec des applets Java Card à travers l'interface JMS. Le second prototype permet aux applets Java Card de s'intégrer dans le réseau peer-to-peer JXTA où ils seront réactifs aux changements de contexte
N this thesis, I have designed a model to integrate smart card in a distributed system. This model manages mobility according to two paradigms: application transparency and context-aware computing. Application transparency consists in making transparent mobility to the applications, when, context-aware computing consists in notifying applications each time the context changes. The model designed is based on an adaptation of the Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) technology. I have implemented two infrastructure prototypes validating the model. The first prototype allows internet applications to communicate, in a transparent way, with the Java Card applets through the JMS interface. The second prototype allows the Java Card applets to operate in the peer-to-peer network named JXTA where applets will be aware of changes in the context

As residential mobility recursively links individual life courses and the characteristics of places, it is unsurprising that geographers have long sought to understand how people make moving decisions. However, much of our knowledge of residential mobility processes derives from cross-sectional analyses of either mobility decision-making or moving events. Comparatively few studies have linked these separate literatures by analysing how residential (im)mobility decisions unfold over time within particular biographical, household and spatio-temporal contexts. This is problematic, as life course theories suggest that people frequently do not act in accordance with their underlying moving desires. To evaluate the extent to which residential (im)mobility is volitional or the product of constraints therefore requires a longitudinal approach linking moving desires to subsequent moving behaviour. This thesis develops this longitudinal perspective through four linked empirical studies, which each use British Household Panel Survey data to analyse how the life course context affects the expression and realisation of moving desires. The first study investigates how people make moving decisions in different ways in response to different motivations, triggers and life events. The second study harnesses the concept of ‘linked lives', exploring the extent to which the likelihood of realising a desire to move is dependent upon the desires of a person's partner. The third study analyses the biographical dimension of mobility decision-making, investigating how the long-term trajectories of life course careers are associated with particular mobility biographies. The final empirical chapter develops these insights, exploring the duration and abandonment of moving desires. Taken together, these studies test and extend conceptual models of mobility decision-making by empirically engaging with neglected facets of life course theories. Fundamentally, the thesis uncovers how aggregate mobility patterns are produced by the interactions between individual choices and multi-scalar constraints.

Since the beginning of the 21st Century, the world has seen the rapid development of the so-called "sharing economy" or collaborative consumption (Botsman, 2010). One of the first areas affected by the shared economy is vehicle ownership. With the emergence of several new providers of mobility services, such as Uber and car2go, there has been the promise of changes to the traditional way of owning and using a vehicle (Wong, Hensher, & Mulley, 2017). One potential consequence of shared mobility services is the reduction in vehicle ownership. At the same time, cities are trying to anticipate these changes by reducing the amount of space dedicated to parking, including parking requirements for residential developments. This thesis aims to assess the extent to which new shared mobility services (specifically, carsharing, bikesharing, and ridehailing) and travel demand management strategies (especially parking requirements and transit pass availability) relate to vehicle ownership among residents of multifamily dwellings. To do this, we use a web-based survey targeted to residents of multifamily apartments from Portland, Oregon. With these data, we built a multinomial logistic of the number of the vehicles owned as a function of socio-demographics, built environment, parking supply, transit passes, and three forms of shared mobility services. Results suggest that there is a strong association between shared mobility use and car ownership. However, it is not as significant as the effects of income, household size, distance to work, transit pass ownership, or even parking availability. Carshare use was negatively associated with the number of household vehicles, suggesting that it may be a useful tool in reducing car ownership. For respondents with higher education and income levels, increased carshare use was associated with fewer cars. Ridehail use, however, was not as clearly associated with reducing vehicle ownership and the effect was much smaller than that of carsharing. Parking availability in the building also has a significant and positive association with vehicle ownership. In sites with no parking available, there is an increased chance of the household owning less than two or more vehicles. However, this effect seems to disappear with the increased use of shared mobility. For all income levels, monthly use of ridehail and carshare between two and three times may decrease the odds of owning two or more vehicles. The use of both options, relaxing parking requirements and shared mobility availability, seems the best strategy to reduce vehicle ownership. In the short term, it is an alternative to those residents that decide to get rid of one or all cars but still are not ready to give up using cars. For the long term, a new relationship with vehicle ownership can be built now for the younger generation.

Stockholm County is a post-industrial Swedish region characterized by high levels of mobility and technologization as well as ethnic and religious diversity. Among its religious minorities exist various strands of charismatic Christianity, some of which originate from the Pentecostal revival of the early 20th century and some of which belong to more recent movements. The aim of this ethnographic study is to examine how affiliates of the multicultural charismatic Christian congregation New Life Church practice religiosity within the context of their personal daily lives, within the framework of the general congregation and in terms of their involvements with other religious organizations in the area of Stockholm. Beginning with the assumption that the practice of contemporary religiosity and the development of a religious identity are part of an ongoing process of habituation, the study describes how practitioners cultivate a form of charismatic piety characterized by certain embodied orientations, patterns of ritualization and narrative genres. To shed further light on this process, it draws upon a variety of theories concerning ritualization, embodiment, performance, narratives and materiality. Apart from this, the study also constitutes an attempt to explore and measure the impact on the practitioners’ religiosity of late modern developments such as urbanization, detraditionalization and global mobility as well as the growing absorption in consumerism, emotional intimacy and the unfolding of the “authentic” inner self. While pursuing these ends, the study also calls into question previous assumptions about charismatic Christianity in Sweden, most particularly the assumption that today’s practitioners remain inclined to be entirely faithful to one given institution and its system of beliefs and practices. Indeed this view is directly challenged herein by the finding that contemporary charismatics are far more inclined to eclectically appropriate elements and models of thoughts from various contexts of origin as well as to affiliate with and/or visit multiple Christian institutions.

The goal of this paper is to evaluate commonly held criticisms of the practice of ability tracking in high school mathematics. To do so, I employ data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 and follow-ups to model classroom selection and education production. This paper will focus only on the causes and effects of tracking on students who were tracked as low-ability in eighth grade. From this, we can see how many students, if any, switched out of the low-ability track by tenth grade and how various switches have affected their test scores in mathematics. I find that students exercise mobility between ability-tracks as late as tenth grade and that ability-track placement is largely determined by test scores. In addition, I find evidence that there would be minimal, if any, test score improvement among low-ability students if they were all moved to a class of heterogeneous ability.
