About Erik Elldér
I am associate professor (docent) and senior lecturer in Human geography. My research focuses on mobility, accessibility and time use, typically in relation to various sustainability, planning and welfare issues. I am currently involved in two research projects:
- Urban proximity: to what and for whom? The long-term development and social distribution of sustainable accessibility in selected Swedish urban regions (Formas: Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development)
- Ageing times. Understanding generational changes in elderly’s use of time and space with implications for health and wellbeing. med Bertil Vilhelmson och Eva Thulin (Forte: Swedish Research Council for Health,Working Life and Welfare).
Recently finished research projects:
- The changing acceptance and practice of telework. Analyzing the expansion of flexible work in Sweden 2005 - 2014. (Forte: Swedish Research Council for Health,Working Life and Welfare).
- How does urban densification lead to energy-efficient daily travel? med Katarina Haugen, Bertil Vilhelmson och Anders Larsson (Swedish Energy Agency).
