“…Generally, low-quality and unreliable transit systems are unlikely to satisfy the complex needs of different clusters of senior adults (Davey, 2007;Engels and Liu, 2011;Hildebrand, 2003;Kostyniuk and Shope, 2003;Risser et al, 2010). In recent years, demand-responsive transportation and car-sharing services have provided a middle ground between owning a car and being entirely carless.…”

Internationally, an age-friendly built environment, including safe, affordable, and convenient transportation, has been identified as crucial in enhancing the quality of life for increasingly large numbers of elderly people. This study presents data on the urban travel and mobility patterns of older adults in Shiraz, Iran -a country where the population is ageing faster than the average of western societies. The relationship between car use and sociodemographic and built environment variables is investigated through Ordinary Least Squares and Geographically Weighted Regression models. These models show that the main determinants of car use among older adults are: employment status; household size; car ownership rate; trip purpose; property prices; and mixed land-uses. Also, the study reveals that car dependency is significant and more pronounced among wealthier individuals, who tend to be clustered in the northern section of the city. The population density and road network design characteristics do not affect car use among older adults, while a mix of land-uses tends to attenuate car dependency. Gender gaps in car use are much wider than in the West, and some level of spatial mismatch between travel needs and car access is observed in the southern section of the city. Clearly, Iranian cities must move away from the current car-centric development model.

“…These factors mainly include sociodemographics, lifestyles, intentions and attitudes of the individuals. It is believed that travel-related strategies are likely to be influenced by individuals' lifestyles and attitudes [8][9][10][11][12][13]. In some other studies, different attitudes have been found to influence individuals' travel behavior and related demand management strategies [14][15][16].…”

Travelers’ attitudes toward carpooling in Lahore: motives and constraints

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Traffic congestion has become a critical issue in developing countries, as it tends to increase social costs in terms of travel cost and time, energy consumption and environmental degradation. With limited resources, reducing travel demand by influencing individuals' travel behavior can be a better long-term solution. To achieve this objective, alternate travel options need to be provided so that people can commute comfortably and economically. This study aims to identify key motives and constraints in the consideration of carpooling policy with the help of stated preference questionnaire survey that was conducted in Lahore City. The designed questionnaire includes respondents' socioeconomic demographics, and intentions and stated preferences on carpooling policy. Factor analysis was conducted on travelers' responses, and a structural model was developed for carpooling. Survey and modeling results reveal that social, environmental and economic benefits, disincentives on car use, preferential parking treatment for carpooling, and comfort and convenience attributes are significant determinants in promoting carpooling. However, people with strong belief in personal privacy, security, freedom in traveling and carpooling service constraints would have less potential to use the carpooling service. In addition, pro-auto and pro-carpooling attitudes, marital status, profession and travel purpose for carpooling are also underlying factors. The findings implicate that to promote carpooling policy it is required to consider appropriate incentives on this service and disincentives on use of private vehicle along with modification of people's attitudes and intentions.

“…Despite the abundant information available from these research strands, the functional approaches to mobility often neglect the key mobility concerns of older adults (Alsnih & Hensher, 2003;Banister & Bowling, 2004;Gabriel & Bowling, 2004;Hildebrand, 2003;Mollenkopf, Marcellini, Ruoppila, & Tacken, 2004a;Schlag & Schade, 2007;Siren & Hakamies-Blomqvist, 2004). The meaning individuals attribute to mobility and their experiences when venturing out are only scarcely assessed.…”

Both the ability and the opportunity to move about constitute essential requisites to older adults' independent living and societal participation. The ability-that is the fundamental physical capacity-to move is a basic human need and essential to personal health (e.g., Heikkinen et al., 1992; U.S. Department of Transportation, 2003). In that sense, declining mobility has been understood predominantly as a physical health and geriatric issue. For decades, a broad range of research has been conducted to understand, among other things, the increasing decline in mobility performance, including decrements in sensory abilities and sensorimotor integration, loss of motor control and voluntary strength, slowing motor action and speed of processing. shrinking range of motion and flexibility, and decreasing ability to stabilize
