Sustaining livelihoods by improving urban public transport
journal contribution
posted on 2008-11-05, 11:29 authored by M. Sohail (Khan)This paper reports on application of the Sustainable
Livelihoods Approach to the wider impacts of urban public
transport on the lives of the urban poor in developing
countries. In applying the Sustainable Livelihoods
Approach to the research data, transport is considered as
an asset within the Sustainable Livelihoods framework. It
draws upon findings of case studies undertaken between
2001 and 2003 in Colombo (Sri Lanka), Faisalabad
(Pakistan) and Dar-es-Salaam (Tanzania). Using a
combination of quantitative and qualitative data, the study
looks at price, affordability, accessibility and quality of
public transport services.
