OUTER METROPOLITAN MOBILITY. THE MOBILITY NEEDS OF SELECTED FAMILIES IN AN OUTER URBAN AREA

The report is about a Study commissioned by the South Australian Director-General of Transport of some aspects of people's need for, and attitudes to, mobility. It is based on lengthy open interviews with 60 families in the outer Adelaide Municipality of Tea Tree Gully in mid-1975. The Study arose from transport planners' interest not only in the use which people make of the mobility available to them and the relative advantages and disadvantages of alternative ways of providing it, but also in a series of fundamental questions about the social context within which mobility is consumed.
