| description | The possibility of applying telecommunications to work at home is contemplated as an alternative that could help to ease current traffic congestion in large cities, alleviating both energy waste and air pollution problems. The expansion of telecommunications to offices and homes, and the growing availability of computers, printers, fax, etc., has fostered research for telecommuting arrangements. These arrangements include the encouragement to work at home as mentioned, the decentralization of the workplace by means of creating satellite offices, as well as the adoption of new structures at the job site to re-organize various management and staff assignments. The aim of this paper is to address the city government commuters’ behaviour to determine their availability for telecommuting in the Ottawa metropolitan area, in Ontario, Canada. In order to accomplish this, a methodology was devised for implementing four field surveys, two examining the commuting behaviour of the planning department’s management and staff and two more examining the commuting behaviour of the transportation department’s management and staff at the Ottawa Municipal Government. As expected the study revealed that the potential for telecommuting, measured in terms of telecommuting support from managers and telecommuting acceptance level by staff members, is significant: fifty per cent of the responding planning managers and approximately eighty-six per cent of their responding transportation peers supported the telecommuting arrangements. In their turn, forty-one per cent of the responding planning staff members showed a telecommuting acceptance level of 3.5 days a week (between 3-4 days) and approximately forty per cent of their responding transportation peers showed a telecommuting acceptance level of 2.0 days a week. |

La posibilidad de aplicar telecomunicaciones al trabajo en casa se ve como una de las alternativas viables para disminuir los problemas de congestionamiento vehicular, desperdicio de energía y contaminación del aire en las grandes ciudades. La extensión de las telecomunicaciones a casas y oficinas periféricas, así como la creciente disponibilidad de computadoras, impresoras, fax, etc., han impulsado la exploración de los esquemas telelaborales. Estos esquemas incorporan las propuestas de dicho trabajo en casa, la descentralización del lugar de producción mismo por medio de la creación de oficinas satélite, así como la adopción de nuevas estructuras que permitan reorganizar en una institución las actividades de gerencia y personal. La intención de este artículo es investigar el comportamiento de los viajes cuando los empleados de gobierno se desplazan a sus respectivos lugares de trabajo, con el afán de determinar su disposición a telelaborar en el área metropolitana de la ciudad de Ottawa, en la provincia de Ontario, Canadá. Para lograrlo se diseñó una metodología particular que practica cuatro estudios de campo: dos para examinar el comportamiento de los viajes mencionado en la gerencia y en el personal del departamento de planificación y dos más para la gerencia y el personal del departamento de transporte, ambos del gobierno municipal de Ottawa. Como se esperaba, el estudio reveló que la disposición para telelaborar, cuantificada en términos de apoyo y aceptación por parte de gerentes y empleados respectivamente es significativa: 50% de los gerentes de planificación que participaron en las encuestas y aproximadamente 86% de sus homólogos de transporte apoyaron los arreglos de tipo telelaboral. Asimismo, 41% del personal de planificación aceptó telelaborar en promedio 3.5 días por semana (entre 3 y 4 días) y aproximadamente 40% del personal de transporte aceptó hacer lo mismo dos días por semana.
