Joachim Scheiner, Dortmund: Wohnen und Aktionsraum: Welche Rolle spielen Lebensstil, Lebenslage und Raumstruktur?

 

Housing and action space: what role is played by lifestyle, life situation and

spatial structure?

 

This contribution presents theoretical considerations on the interconnections between life situation, lifestyle, choice of location and activity spaces, as well as empirical results on the basis of path analyses. The analyses are based on data from a survey in seven study areas in the region of Cologne. The results indicate that lifestyles influence activity spaces, particularly in leisure time, even when the life situation is controlled. However, the impact of life situation on activity spaces outweighs the impact of lifestyle. The latter is primarily mediated by lifestyle-specific location requirements and location decisions, which likewise influence travel behaviour.
