“…Similar arguments-although not necessarily employing the above concepts-can be found in the literature on gender and transport sustainability [81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90]. These studies have argued for the need for women's perspectives in climate and transport policymaking because, when it is lacking, women's use and experience of the transport system will not influence planning and policymaking.…”

There are large discrepancies in the transport sector along gender lines in travel patterns and means of transportation used, but also in attitudes and norms among citizens, planners and decision-makers, with women generally more positive towards measures involving the lowering CO2 emissions. At the same time, the number of women involved in transport-related decisions is low. This is a problem for gender equality but possibly also for sustainability. A careful review of previous studies indicated a lack of analyses on the subject based on quantitative data at the local level. We investigated a possible link between women’s presence in local policymaking and more sustainable transport policies, and whether it is possible to capture such an effect. The main contribution of this paper is a methodological approach in which, besides generating unique data on representation in municipalities (confirming men’s dominance, specifically in transport policymaking), possibilities for quantitatively measuring gender and the level of sustainability in transport planning are discussed and tested. Challenges in collecting relevant data and analyzing possible covariances in the data set are discussed and presented as well as suggestions for further investigations into the possible link between gender and sustainable transport performance.

Wanita memainkan peran penting dalam memberikan kontribusi bagi pendapatan rumah tangga nelayan. Kontribusi pendapatan dapat memenuhi kebutuhan rumah tangga untuk pangan seperti beras, mie, sayuran, buah-buahan, dll dan untuk non-pangan seperti kain, rumah, kesehatan, pendidikan, dll). Secara ekonomi, tambahan pendapatan dari wanita meningkatkan aksesibilitas pangan rumah tangga nelayan. Tujuan penelitian untuk menganalisis kontribusi pendapatan wanita terhadap pendapatan rumah tangga nelayan dan menganalisis akses pangan berdasarkan indikator ekonomi. Responden adalah istri dari 30 nelayan yang ditentukan secara sensus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kontribusi pendapatan wanita terhadap pendapatan rumah tangga nelayan sebesar 31,56 persen, pendapatan itu berasal dari kegiatan pengolahan dan pemasaran ikan. Persentase pengeluaran rumah tangga untuk konsumsi non-pangan sebesar 66,29 persen, lebih tinggi dari pengeluaran untuk konsumsi pangan sebesar 33,71 persen. Berdasarkan kriteria garis kemiskinan pengeluaran konsumsi rumah tangga nelayan masih di atas garis kemiskinan. Secara ekonomi, disimpulkan bahwa akses rumah tangga nelayan terhadap pangan adalah baik. Implikasi kebijakan adalah pemerintah daerah perlu merancang kebijakan bantuan dalam bentuk inkubator bisnis untuk usaha kecil perikanan tangkap, bantuan berupa teknologi tepat guna dan manajemen pemasaran produk. Kebijakan ini bertujuan untuk menjaga stabilitas dan kontinuitas kelangsungan bisnis, kontribusi pendapatan wanita dan aksesibilitas pangan untuk rumah tangga nelayan.
