Important results from the project
The aim of the study is to investigate the conditions and needs for household mobility in a socio-economically vulnerable area. The focus is on fair mobility and studying the needs of women, as they are assumed to be responsible for most of the domestic and household work. The goal is to propose customized solutions that could be implemented to improve transport opportunities and at the same time contribute to equal and sustainable mobility
Expected long term effects
The project shows that there is a demand for mobility solutions that facilitate transportation of goods for short trips from the center to the home (one-way trips). För Gottsunda is proposed to test three services: Mobility hubs with transport trolleys, sharing a shopping cart and a workshop for selfmade shopping carts. Expected effects are a complementary view of what innovative mobility solutions can mean and that there is a need to study the local conditions when developing mobility services.
Approach and implementation
The study is based on thematic analyzes from in-depth interviews with women who live in Gottsunda as well as interviews with property owners, traders, the mobility actor EC2B and the municipality´s mobility manager. A workshop with property owners, a municipal representative and architects has been carried out where proposals for solutions for better mobility in Gottsunda have been developed based on identified conditions. The study is based on the conditions identified in the interviews with the women and the other participants mensioned above.
