Abstract

The article provides an overview of modern research directions of population mobility as a component of spatial behavior in an urban environment. Attention is focused on the spatial-temporal approach to the study of the mobility of urban population within the framework of time geography in connection with the development of information and communication technologies. Understanding the characteristics of individual spatial behavior and sustainable behaviors of various strata of the urban community is important for creating a safe, comfortable and accessible urban environment for residents. In turn, the peculiarities of the urban social environment have an impact on the spatial patterns of megalopolis residents’ behavior. The aim of the research is to improve theoretical, methodological, and conceptual approaches to the formation of an optimal urban environment in conditions of increasing complexity of forms and systems of population mobility, increasing the radii of settlement within agglomerations, and removing places of employment. The objectives of the research, among other things, include an analysis of the trends in modern research on mobility as a set of social, economic, and geographical factors that determine particular spatial and temporal trajectories of specific people and its important role in the formation of the urban social environment. As a result, various approaches to the concept of mobility as an object of contemporary geographic research are considered.
