abstract="Adaptive behaviours are an important aspect of personal safety. When feeling unsafe in public transport, women are likely to take avoidance measures. Drawing from a sample of 3188 women who participated in the victimisation survey &quot;Cadre de vie et sécurité&quot; (Living Environment and Security) between 2010 and 2013, this study examines whether and how female passengers in the Ile-de-France region change their routines when feeling unsafe in the transit environment. Logistic regressions were conducted to assess the relationship between avoidance behaviours, individual characteristics, transport habits, and personal safety. <br><br>RESULTS suggest that education, previous victimisation, and declared perceived safety are consistently associated with time-based and space-based avoidance. However, avoidance appears to be constrained by transport habits, such as frequency of use and riding to work.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
