| Popis: | The purpose of this article is to give a comprehensive description and analysis of the relations between the communicative use of information technologies (ICT) on the one hand and physical travel on the other. Work-related activities, such as telework (telecommuting) and teleconferences, are especially considered. The extent to which they affect people's travel by processes of substitution, generation or modification is discussed. It is also shown that the current diffusion of telework and tele-and videoconferencing in Sweden is on a modest level, although the general access to computers and telecommunication equipment is on a high level. It is argued that future analyses of ICT -travel interactions should adopt an integrated perspective, where the activity patterns, e.g. peoples use of time for different activities at dif¬ ferent locations, make up the context. ICT -based activities and travel-based activities are not invariably equivalent regarding contents and purposes, which among other things restricts potential substitution effects.
