Overview
This set of four reports examine the links between the socio-demographic characteristics of families - including location - and their attitudes and behaviours regarding transport. It analyses data from the Australian Living Standards Study (ALSS), drawing on information provided by families living in urban areas. The study areas comprise: five outer areas (Berwick and Werribee in Melbourne, Campbelltown and Penrith in Sydney, and Elizabeth/Munno Para in Adelaide), two middle areas (Box Hill in Melbourne and Ryde in Sydney), and two inner areas (Melbourne and South Sydney). The socio-demographic characteristics examined are ethnic background, economic status, car ownership and whether or not the family is a one or two parent family. The travel behaviour and attitudes of households, parents and school children were examined.
