The thesis concerns the everyday mobility of 11 families with children living in the Greater Copenhagen Area. The study is empirically based on a series of qualitative family interviews and GPS tracking, complemented by field studies of everyday family mobility. The main focus of this qualitative study is to explore how everyday mobility is associated with the family’s processes of coping with busy everyday family life. The study is funded by the Danish Strategic Research Council and conducted in collaboration with DTU, Denmark.People in contemporary Danish society, and in particular families with children, lead busy lives. Experiences of feeling harried, time squeezed and stress are becoming increasingly a normal part of everyday life. Family life is characterised by the complex balancing act of tending to schedules of dispersed activities while carving out time for quality family time and togetherness to accommodate social and emotional needs and wishes of family members. Through the analysis of the 11 families and their everyday mobility, the thesis elucidates the how the family members through their mundane quotidian mobility performances, such as commuting to work, escorting children to the kindergarten, going on the weekly visit to the grandparents, driving children to after-school activities, etc., are not only instrumentally moving family members around, efficiently and safely getting them from point A to point B, but also transforming travel time into small pockets of togetherness, experiences, care, play, relaxation, reading, work, planning and coordination. In doing so the study produces knowledge and understanding of the role everyday mobility plays in coping with practical, social and emotional conditions of everyday family life. And secondarily, the thesis contribute with discussion of how such qualitative knowledge of everyday family mobility provide decision support in transport policy making.
