Daily Spatial Mobilities

Discussing the concept of mobility at large and that of spatial mobilities in particular this book makes the case for daily spatial mobilities as a distinct type of mobility and explores this concept from a variety of perspectives. Daily mobilities such as for commuting shopping social ties information banking news studies business meetings etc. are typified by their being two-way mobilities frequently performed constituting a major element of our daily routine lives and inclusive of both corporeal and/or virtual mobilities. Outlining his argument for daily spatial mobility author Aharon Kellerman focuses on needs and triggers for daily mobilities on levels of personal mobility and personal autonomy in daily mobilities and on potential mobilities leading to practiced ones. The concept is further explored using three major types of daily mobility terrestrial virtual and aerial and three major spatial elements; urban spatial reorganization in the information age mobility terminals namely bus metro and railway stations as well as airports and global opportunities through daily mobilities notably for users of the Internet.
