Accessibility and Mobility in the Ripoll river industrial Park of Sabadell : a multi-method analysis

This paper analyzes mobility conditions in the Ripoll River industrial park located in the municipality of Sabadell (Spain). A multi-strategic methodological approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods along with direct observation is used. In addition to the territorial and economic context of the area, mobility is also affected by the characteristics of the displacements and the perceptions of both the workers and the enterprises located in the park. Different levels of accessibility such as public transport, parking, heavy vehicles and bicycle or pedestrian access are also taken into account.
