Crime has major influences in urban life, from migration and mobility patterns, to housing prices and neighborhood liveability. However, urban crime studies still largely rely on static data reported by the various institutions and organizations dedicated to urban safety. In this paper, we demonstrate how the use of digital technologies enables the...

Introduction
The onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic alerted the Philippine government to impose the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) as a means to hamper human mobility and interaction and eventually diminish transmission. Due to severe limitations in accessibility to basic needs due to ECQ, the government devised amelioration programs. A year aft...
A substantial number of studies have been completed with respect to human mobility, linguistic diversity, and social sustainability in the Global North, but very few have been undertaken in relation to the Global South. Mobility, diversity, and sustainability are not recent phenomena, but little, if anything, is understood as regards how human mobi...

... Such issues are not only found among migrants and children of migrants. However, half of the four traditional groups live in the 10 largest Dutch cities (Statistics Netherlands, 2022a) and bike theft and bike storage issues are known problems in (large) cities (Kuppens et al., 2020;Royal Dutch Touring Club ANWB, 2021, n.d.;Venverloo et al., 2023). ...
People with a migration background, especially first-generation Dutch
individuals, are less mobile than those without a migration background. At
the same time, the commuting distance and travel time for migrants and
children of migrants is longer than for other working individuals. Second�and especially first-generation Dutch individuals tend to cycle less often,
but use public transport and walk more often than people without a
migration background. Differences between groups are large though; this
makes it difficult to talk about “the” travel behaviour of people with a
migration background.
There are currently 4.5 million people with a migration background living in the
Netherlands. The share of people with a migration background is expected to
increase in the coming years.
First-generation Dutch individuals in particular are less mobile, are less likely to own
a driving licence and tend to cycle less frequently than people without a migration
background. Importantly, differences between groups with different countries of
origin are sometimes large. Among second-generation Dutch individuals, children of
migrants, these differences tend to be less pronounced. In fact, their travel
behaviour tends to be closer to that of people without a migration background than
to first-generation Dutch individuals on many aspects.
This study confirms that the travel behaviour of migrants and children of migrants is
relevant for policy. After all, a changing composition of the population in the
Netherlands also means changing mobility patterns.
