Visualising daily commuting flows and travel behaviour of students in Czechia
This paper focuses on an innovative cartographic visualisation of key aspects of spatial mobility, specifically daily mobility flows and the travel behaviour of students in Czechia. It represents mobility flows through the key attributes of intensity, direction, and proportionality, with an emphasis on the dominance of the main direction. This method enables the clear and effective visualisation of daily mobility flows within a single map. Additionally, we examine the differentiation in the use of various transport modes as a foundation for analysing the travel behaviour of young residents. These differences are further visualised in an original manner using 3D plots of the distance-decay function. The presented map cartographically illustrates the complex issue of daily mobility and travel behaviour of students and has the potential to be utilised for research, planning, or educational purposes.
