Fundada en 1993 por Richard Knowles, Journal of Transport Geography (JTRG) se ha convertido en una de las revistas científicas de mayor prestigio en geografía de los transportes a escala internacional. En este artículo, se realiza un análisis bibliométrico integral de los 27 años de existencia de la revista. Para ello, se recurre en primer lugar a la base de datos de Scopus para la obtención de datos bibliométricos. Seguidamente, se realiza un análisis estadístico con apoyo del software VOSviewer. Los resultados permiten evaluar el alcance global de la revista, los artículos más relevantes, así como los autores, países e instituciones más productivos. Las líneas de investigación más desarrolladas, en base al análisis de las palabras clave, muestran que el comportamiento del viaje, el transporte urbano, la accesibilidad y la planificación del transporte son temas prioritarios. Así, se observa cómo la geografía del transporte ha atravesado, en los últimos veinte años, un periodo especialmente prolífico y cómo ha logrado estrechar vínculos con otras disciplinas.

The modifiable areal unit problem is of great importance in geographic science. The use of a specific zoning impacts the social and economic imbalances that can be generated in the deployment of services, facilities, and infrastructure. In this article, GIS is used together with simulation and optimization tools to analyse the effects of bus frequency changes in the levels of service and horizontal equity derived from different types of territorial zoning. The city of Palma (Balearic Islands, Spain) was chosen as a case study for the method, for which different geographical areas are used: neighbourhoods, census sections, cadastral blocks, and a 400 × 400 m mesh. The results show significant variations of the optimal frequencies obtained, depending on the type of zoning used. In general, smaller zonings show much higher sensitivity for the detection of imbalances between the population and bus service level. Likewise, orthogonal zonings also prove useful for identifying service and population concentration over other zonings. The use of large spatial units could lead to the misdiagnosis of needs and the implementation of actions that do not actually improve the level of service or the equity of the transport service. It is recommended to consider combining zonings of different sizes simultaneously, in order to accurately highlight imbalances and to argue for transport service improvements.

Sustainable mobility policies may encounter social, economic, and cultural barriers to successful implementation that need to be assessed. In this sense, knowledge of the population’s mobility habits and their relationship with transport modes is particularly essential. Along these lines, a study was carried out of the patterns of transport modes chosen concerning various social and territorial variables on the island of Mallorca based on the most recent mobility surveys. The study shows that the choice of mode is influenced by a wide range of factors, such as gender, age group, motive for the trip, occupation, region of residence, duration of the trip, and proximity to Palma, the capital of the island. The results indicate that private vehicles are the most often chosen mode of transport. Private vehicles are mainly used by working men between 30 and 44 years old for journeys between home and work, which do not exceed 30 min and are preferably in areas close to Palma. Sustainable modes are little used, although they are mainly used by women, young people, and retired people for work purposes and for access to educational and health centers. The demand for transport generated by the resident population and tourist activity and the negative externalities generated by mobility in private vehicles are closely related on a municipal level (Pearson’s coefficient 0.84, p = 0.00). However, the modal distribution does not seem to be directly related to these factors. Instead, it develops a more conditioned distribution by access to rail transport infrastructures and other geographical factors. In recent years, the Balearic Islands’ public administration launched the Balearic Islands Sectorial Mobility Plan 2019–2026, which aims to promote sustainable modes and reduce the use of private vehicles. This plan represents a considerable economic investment, but will also require great institutional coordination and cultural changes in the population’s perception of mobility. The study shows that the implementation of sustainable modes on the island requires a global vision of mobility issues that integrates urban planning and tourism planning to make the land-use model more sustainable.

The significant development of tourism as an economic activity in some cities has led to the need to integrate potential demand for public transport generated by tourists into planning decisions. Public transportation is considered a critical factor of tourism competitiveness and plays a fundamental role in the promotion and maintenance of a sustainable tourist destination. Ensuring equity of public transport services requires specific methodological tools for diagnosis and optimization. There are few references regarding the need to integrate tourism demand in the planning of public transport of cities or the development of methods and techniques to facilitate this task. A method for evaluating potential public bus transportation demand including both residents and tourists is presented. The method uses geographic information systems and statistics, namely, the Gini coefficient, to diagnose imbalances between supply and demand and the degree of equity in transport services. The city of Palma (Spain) is selected as a case study. The results show a significant imbalance in the public transport of the city. There is a large concentration of tourist facilities in areas where the level of bus service is not sufficient for the demand of the resident population and tourists.

Resumen La planificación sostenible del transporte público requiere la consideración de la equidad territorial y social. El análisis de la equidad precisa de un profundo conocimiento del servicio así como de las características territoriales y sociales dónde se implanta. En este artículo se propone un método simplificado para el análisis de la equidad del sistema de autobuses públicos, aplicado a la ciudad de Palma. El nivel de servicio se calcula a partir del análisis territorial de la oferta, y se contrasta con la población existente y con un índice multidimensional de necesidad social de transporte público, dando lugar a la equidad horizontal y vertical, respectivamente. Posteriormente, se verifica la equidad global del servicio con el apoyo de la curva de Lorenz y del coeficiente GINI. Finalmente, se realiza un análisis de sensibilidad a través de la frecuencia de las rutas de autobús en relación a la equidad social del servicio.

El artículo analiza los sistemas de bicicleta pública como instrumento de incentivación de los desplazamientos en bicicleta en el marco de las políticas de movilidad sostenible. Se centra en su implantación en la ciudad de Palma y se valoran tres componentes: la evolución del reparto modal en la ciudad desde su instalación en 2011 y su relación con el tráfico ciclista; la cobertura territorial del sistema y su funcionamiento; y, por último, las características, el perfil y las motivaciones de los usuarios. Del análisis se deduce una baja aceptación del sistema, a pesar del incremento más que notable del número de ciclistas en la ciudad.
