ANALYZING TRANSPORTATION ISSUES IN NORTHERN REGIONS: DATA PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Under the Canada-Manitoba Sub-Agreement on Transportation Development, the Canadian Federal Government and the Government of Manitoba agreed to conduct a number of research studies in transportation. One of the studies was an examination of transportation problems in Northern Manitoba. This paper describes the research team's work in developing a data base upon which to conduct empirical research into the issues raised, the difficulties encountered and solutions used to overcome these difficulties. The solutions included a survey of air charter operators and analysis of airport log books. The paper presents some conclusions about doing research on transportation issues in sparsely inhabited regions and provides recommendations to those doing this type of transportation research.
