Samenvatting
Various aspects of the problem of long home-work distances are first discussed. This is illustrated by two measures for the effects of home-work travel: the efficiency of time use related to work and daily action space as constrained by the home-work axis. The expectations with regard to future development of tele-work and its social and spatial implications are summarised. The hypothesis is, that an alternation of shorter and longer home-work distances in a certain rhythm is beneficial to both the social contacts and the spatial accessibility.
