GENDER DIFFERENCES IN INTRA-URBAN TRAVEL BEHAVIOUR: A PRELIMINARY SURVEY IN IBADAN, NIGERIA

Abstract

The paper examines women and men intra-urban travel behaviour. The result of the cross-sectional survey of 232 households sampled in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria shows that there are significant differences between women and men intra-urban travel behaviour for most of the purposes considered except for work and religious purposes. While work trip distance is found to be shorter for women more than men in the high and medium density residential areas, the contrary is found in the low density residential area. Significant relationship is found between the socio-economic status including stages in the life cycle and travel behaviour of women only. Also significant relationship is found between the combined residential pattern variables and the intra-urban travel behaviour of women and men. Policy implications of these results are highlighted in the paper. For the covering abstract see ITRD E116619.
