Barker, Lucy; Connolly, David; Gray, David; Milne, Nicola

Abstract

This investigation into car culture in Kirkwall was undertaken to establish the cultural reasons for Kirkwall’s residents’ attachment to their cars and to provide an understanding of what might be required to produce a behavioural change in Kirkwall, leading to a greater use of sustainable modes. It is anticipated that findings from this research will help to inform and the Sustainable Travel Demonstration Town Project Initiatives and Orkney Islands Councils transport policies and strategies.
