Female trips - Male Trips: Developing methods for gender sensitive travel and mobility survey

Using examples of Austrian mobility surveys the feminist analysis shows that not only the interpretations of the data, but also the questionnaires reveal reductions and simplifications, which veil crucial aspects in the behaviour concerning mobility, particularly the behaviour of caregivers in their everyday lives. Thus, the common methods of mobility survey do not adequately examine short trips, trips taken to accompany others, or complex combinations of single distances. The categories available under so-called "travel purposes" reflect patriarchal life concepts: trips made in connection with domestic work and caregiving are either underrepresented or fully hidden. The feminist analysis shows that crucial information on people’s mobility behaviour cannot be surveyed, analyzed, or interpreted with the usual methods. Hence, not all the basic and necessary information is available for traffic and settlement planning.
A way to make up for this deficiency is to develop new gender-sensitive methods.

Lecture "Women on their ways -
A feminist critique on methods used in the field of traffic and transport planning"

This lecture deals with the methods used in the field of traffic and transport planning to get information on the mobility and travel statistics. It criticises the establihed standardised questionnaires from a feminist point of view: the journey purposes, the reasons for travelling (e.g. „to and from work“, „travelling on business“, „education“, „escort“, „shopping“, „personal business“, „leisure“) reflect on the existing gender relationship within our society: The varitey of a person's trips and journeys with caring responsibilities is not visible within these categories.
