dc.description.abstractIn this thesis, the use of the concept of car-free neighbourhoods to increase the active living behaviour of people living in these neighbourhoods is researched in a multiple case study. This was done by researching the possibilities for the three Dutch neighbourhoods Wolfskuil (Nijmegen), Oosterflank (Rotterdam) and Holtenbroek IV (Zwolle) to become car-free and trying to find out how such a transition to a car-free neighbourhood would influence the active living behaviour of the people living in these neighbourhoods. The Theory of Planned Behaviour was used to find out how a car-free neighbourhood can influence the active living behaviour of its inhabitants. The research in this thesis shows that Wolfskuil, Oosterflank and Holtenbroek IV provide a foundation for a transition to a car-free neighbourhood, through existing policies and the presence of walkability, bikeability, public transport and public space. In this research, there have been found relationships between some of the spatial key factors for a transition to a car-free neighbourhood and active living behaviour. Also, a relationship has been found between the attitude of people regarding active transportation methods and active living behaviour. Keywords Car-free neighbourhood, active living, active living behaviour, active mobility, active living environment, walkability, bikeability, public transport, public space
