Les routines de déplacement dans les espaces périurbains : les dimensions collectives des agencements quotidiens

The paper aims to understand how daily travel routines shape a certain suburban way of life. It is based on a corpus of « on-board » interviews carried out with commuters from Grenoble and Aix-en-Provence suburban areas. We first illustrate how individuals organize their daily trips in accordance with their activities, which are scattered across a territory, which includes central workplace and peripheral residential areas. We show that routines are embedded in a dynamic complex process integrating different stages: testing, stabilization and adaptation phases. They are the foundation of the socio-spatial mobility system of suburban inhabitants. Finally, we discuss how the process of routinization contributes to emerging effects on the formation of social groups sharing suburban mobility and living conditions
