Abstract:
This paper examines the relationship between social deprivation and
travel patterns
.
Many studies ha
ve examined the relationsh
ip between
deprivation
and travel patterns
,
but few have compared those in the most disadvantaged areas with those living in the
most affluent areas. This study examines the impact that deprivation has upon
individuals’ trip patte
rns
, in Dublin,
using 2006 Census of I
reland data. A
number of
maps were created to determine the patterns of deprived areas in the city relative to a
number of trip chara
cteristics. A multinomial logistic regression
model wa
s estimated
in this study to
determine how the level of deprivation impacts upon a number of
characteristics such as mode choice, annual emissions, cost of transport and car
ownership. The main findings of this study are that those individuals living in
deprived areas in Dublin are m
ore likely to use sustainable modes of transport
compared to individuals living in the more affluent areas of the city.
