Car Use, Mobility and Transport Satisfaction of Older Adults in Czechia: A Gender Perspective
Original language description
The main objective of this article is to enhance understanding of factors that may influence mobility satisfaction and the use of motorised transport modes by older adults in Czechia in the context of gender equity. We used data from a large questionnaire survey that explored the main trends in mobility behaviour, needs and attitudes of the Czech population, focusing on key gender mobility issues. The answers of 2087 respondents aged 65 years and older were analysed by applying regression models. Our findings confirm the gender differences in car use. Older women in Czechia use public transport more and drive cars less than their male counterparts. Also, they are less satisfied with their overall transport options. However, in the subsequent regression analysis, gender didn’t significantly affect transport satisfaction. Our research’s major factors influencing transport satisfaction were age, physical disability, place of residence, car accessibility, and income. The gender distribution of the last two mentioned variables showed substantial differences with more negative impact on women, which probably resulted in lower transport satisfaction.
