Prevozna revščina v Sloveniji

The book discusses transport poverty – a situation when an individual or household does not have adequate transport to essential services and activities or has trouble affording it. Our definition of transport poverty served as the basis for compiling nine indicators for its measurement. From the spatial aspect, transport poverty in Slovenia was examined with an analysis of the accessibility of public transport, which is the most universal as well as crucial mode of transport for people without a car. From the social aspect, we identified the key stakeholders and potential vulnerable groups and investigated their circumstances by conducting interviews and workshops with them. Using all of the analyses as the basis, we utilized a participatory approach to prepare a list of ten measures to prevent and alleviate transport poverty. The transport poverty phenomenon is set to become increasingly current and pressing with the green transition and the projected increases to fuel prices, especially in Slovenia, which is marked by scattered settlement and car dependence in a majority of the country.
