STUDIES OF THE SOCIAL EFFECTS OF CAR OWNERSHIP AND CAR TRAVEL

STUDIER OEVER BILISMENS SOCIALA EFFEKTER

This report describes the studies made into the social effects of car ownership and car travel. Part 1 investigates theoretically the influence of car traffic on physical urban structure. Part 2 deals with the social effects of car traffic, with special reference to those without a car. After a general treatment of car ownership in Sweden, there is a description of the relationship of children, the old, the handicapped and women to cars, and the effect of car ownership on the labour market, shopping and leisure. Part 3 discusses theoretically the image which people have of their town, and the way car traffic affects this. Part 4 examines two specific areas with regard to trips to work, in relation to public transport facilities and the location of workplaces. /TRRL/
