Car is definitely the means of transport mainly used by the people interviewed, wether they go to work or not. An important choise concerns women (cfr. table). In fact, they modify their habits in a significant way preferring to go on foot when they don't go to work


Q13: Do you suffer from the following impacts of traffic?

M F TOT
missing space for parking 2 2,4 2,2
consumption of space 2,6 2,9 2,7
air pollution 1,7 1,7 2,7
noise 2,3 2,1 2,2

   14-28  29-45  46-62  63-...

 Noise
 2,7   2,2  2,1  2

Air pollution
  2  1,6  1,5  1,6

Consumption of space 
 2,8   2,7  2,6 2,9 

 Missing space for parking
  2,6  1,7  1,6 3,6 

The most suffered problems are in the order those of pollution, noise, shortage of parking areas and "consumption" of space. The young seem to be less worried about the environmental effects caused by traffic, while the old suffer the lack of parking areas less and are more sensitive to the problem of noise.

People who go from 29 to 62 (above all men) don't declare themselves ready to use the means of the public system even if the price of fuel increased suddenly. Instead the young and the old are undecided.
