Psychosocial Aspects of the Use and Provision of Carsharing Services in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The concept of shared mobility involves a type of transportation based on advanced digital technologies which make it possible to approach mobility as a service. This concept seeks to reduce the need for individual ownership of means of transport and enhance the effectiveness of their use. Our paper focuses on carsharing as a specific service. In the Czech Republic we do not have enough empirical data about attitudes towards this emerging type of transportation. The objectives of the paper are (1) to analyse the current situation in terms of the offer of carsharing services in the Czech Republic, (2) to identify psychosocial factors associated with the use of the carsharing service among Czech users, and (3) to assess the barriers to, and benefits of, carsharing services from their providers’ perspective. A qualitative research design was selected in view of the objectives of the paper. Semi-structured interviews with both users and providers of carsharing services were the main data collection method. The collection and analysis of the data took place from March to August 2021. Participants were recruited using non-probabilistic sampling methods: simple purposive sampling, self-selection, and snowball sampling. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was chosen to process the data. The study is expected to provide an overview of the offer of carsharing services, describe the psychosocial aspects of the use of carsharing, and report experience with the provision of such services in the Czech Republic. The benefits of this paper are that it considers the experience of both parties – the providers and users of carsharing – and that it is the first study of its kind to be carried out in the Czech Republic. This deliverable was co-financed by the grant projects IGA_FF_2021_001 and IGA_FF_2021_018 (UPOL).
