  1. Collecting information about travel behaviour in the Czech Republic Mgr. Iva Hanzlíková

  2. Outline • Basic features of existing survey • Main trends in travel behaviour • Conclusions and future research needs

  3. Using of different modes of transport by citizens of the Czech Republic depending on frequency of travelling and distance of final destination Taylor Nelson Sofres Factum company monitors travel behaviour since 2000 Collecting information about traveller´s behaviour

  4. Basic features • Representative sample: approx. 1000 people (from age of 15) every year • A survey is conducted once a year (5 days duration; in April)

  5. Design of survey • Longer distance: more than 1 hour (out of the community) • Shorter distance: less than 1 hour (within and out of the community) • 1 hour is chosen as a borderline for every-day regular travelling to work or school

  6. Method • TNS Omnimas (omnibus survey) • Face-to-face form • Quote method (gender, age, education, income) from the official statistical sociodemographical data • „Minimal standards of SIMAR“ (Association of public opinion and marketing agencies; coming out from the standards of world-wide association ESOMAR)

  7. Questions: • Frequency of travelling for longer and shorter distances • Using of different modes of transport • Perception of some problems in transportation by public

  8. Main trends – passenger car • Increase of: • Travelling on shorter and longer distances • Travelling by car (shorter and longer distances) • 37% citizens use car min. twice a week within community

  9. Public transport • Decrease of: • travelling by public transport generally • Travelling by train (reason: higher prices of tickets), but little increase of travelling on short distances • 40% use passenger car instead of train in 2003

  10. Public transport • Increase of use public transport in Prague (using individual form of travelling is not sustainable in the present traffic situation in the main city; public transport is accessible)

  11. Main trends - bicycles • Min. twice a week: 37 % • Increase in using bikes has not been noticed

  12. Other links • Men travel more than women (10% difference) • Higher income and level of education: bigger amount of overall travelling • Older people (over 60) reduced travelling on longer distance • More than 50% would support road transportation than railway

  13. Advantages • Possibility of comparing data from each year • 5 days interval of interviewing in 1 year vs. continously monitoring

  14. Drawbacks • 5 days interval of interviewing in 1 year vs. continously monitoring • No distinguish of trips which are carried out for work and for leisure time • Is the omnibus survey appropriate?

  15. Travel survey among students • Conducted by CDV • 241 respondents (students of high schools in Brno, no-holders of driving licence) • City public transport (trams, trolleybuses): 67% • Train: 18% • Bus: 15%

  16. Disadvantages of public transport according students: • Lack of space (29%) • High price (19%) • Often delays (14%)

  17. Conclusions • Specialized survey of travel behaviour is missing • Travel behaviour in the Czech Republic is cover only by the omnibus survey

  18. Future needs • systematic monitoring of traveler behaviour + a need to cover the area of decision making in households, social influence, the role of motivation in choosing different modes of transport +attitudes towards automobilism, public transport etc.

  19. Special focus on: • What a does a car ownership mean from psychological point of view? • Why some people don´t use the public transport even it it would bear more advantages (time, money)?

  20. Theory.. • Barth at al. (1996): „Travel behaviour is a result of two factors influencing decision of the choice of vehicle: • External – e.g. infrastructure, transport policy • Internal – needs, motives, values, emotions, feeling of comfort, attitudes and preferences.“

  21. Theory.. • Car as a symbol of status • As a symbol of independence, freedom and self-activity • Experience of own powerfulness (Wille, 1992)

  22. COST 355: Change of behaviour towards a more sustainable transport system • Understanding to what is important for choosing different modes of transport • Multidisciplinary approach
