“…Furthermore, fewer women than men had a car, suggesting the need and interest in driving differed between men and women. This finding was somewhat expected and in accordance with the notion that women used bikes and public transportation more often than men [ 66 ]. Among the participants who had cars in this study population, we found that women were not affected by the psychological distress when/if they consider taking a ride in a car.…”

Although chronic pain is common in old age, previous studies on participation activities in old age seldom consider pain aspects and its related consequences. This study analyses associations between participation activities, pain severity, and psychological distress in an aging population of Swedish older adults (N = 6611). We examined older adults’ participation in five common leisure activities using the Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI), sociodemographic factors, pain severity, weight status, comorbidities, and pain-related psychological distress (anxiety, depression, insomnia severity, and pain catastrophising). We found that gender, body mass index (BMI) levels, and psychological distress factors significantly affected older adults’ participation in leisure activities. Pain severity and multimorbidity were not significantly associated with older adults’ participation in leisure activities nor with gender stratification in generalised linear regression models. The potentially modifiable factors, such as high levels of BMI and psychological distress, affected activity participation in men and women differently. Health professionals and social workers should consider gender and target potentially modifiable factors such as weight status and psychological distress to increase older adults’ participation in leisure activities.

“…Future research may explore more factors that influence older men and women’s concern to ride in a car and their purpose to keep driving in old age. Women’s preferences even in modern urban areas can be explained by “typical” gender tasks due to their social roles of any age [ 66 ].…”

“…The literature review on the safety perception of cycling among women provides similar results [31,32]. The insecurity reported by people living in rural areas on the home-station or home-bus-stop path caused by the low quality of roads on the way to public transport are barriers to both the use of bicycles and PT [21].…”

A Preliminary Analysis on Gender Aspects in Transport Systems and Mobility Services: Presentation of a Survey Design

et al. 2021

As sustainability is becoming a common practice in planning transport systems and mobility services, the designation and management of gender issues are of paramount importance. TInnGO is a European Project that has developed a network of 10 national Hubs to build the capacity to generate and apply evidence on gender equality and transport issues at the European level. This paper presents the project activities by introducing a relevant framework and exploring user mobility experiences based on gender to identify diversified needs and requirements. This process relies on the combination of a review of current gender-oriented experiences and practices in mobility with focus group activities conducted in four different EU cities. The insights obtained from these activities supported the design of a survey to collect information on socioeconomic, personal, and operational aspects to serve a gender-oriented transport analysis for all the Hubs. These preliminary analyses identified the main issues related to the female mobility experience, namely safety, security, accessibility, and transport reliability. Future research on the data collected through the survey would help operators in successfully improving their mobility offer to women.

“…However, these studies did not reveal what is responsible for this gap between males and females in carsharing adoption. Recently, Kawgan-kagan et al [76] found that females use carsharing less than males because of gender roles (e.g., childcare, household duties, and shopping trips). Thus, we expect that the relationship between the intention to use EC and its determinants will be moderated by gender.…”

“…The effect of performance expectancy on behavioral intention to use EC is expected to be stronger for men because of gender roles. For example, women with children are less interested in carsharing services in comparison with men [76]. Research on gender differences also suggests that men tend to be more familiar with new technology than women [77].…”

Travelers’ Acceptance of Electric Carsharing Systems in Developing Countries: The Case of China

et al. 2019

Emerging electric carsharing (EC) systems have demonstrated their advantages and attracted public attention. The number of EC systems is growing throughout the world, especially in metropolitan areas in developing countries. For successful implementation, developers need to understand the public acceptance of EC services. In this study, we sought to determine the factors that affect EC acceptance in the context of developing countries. The study involved 437 individuals, aged between 18 and 65 years, who were randomly sampled from an EC service area in China. The determinants of EC acceptance were investigated based on an extended version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and tested by using Structural Equation Modeling. The results indicated that hedonic motivation (HM) has a powerful effect on behavioral intention (BI) to use the EC service in the future. Performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), and familiarity with the carsharing concept (FM) also influenced EC’s acceptance. However, the impact of social influence (SI) did not emerge from this study. The results also revealed that gender moderates the effects of EE and FM on BI. Age moderated the effect of FM on BI and unexpectedly moderated the impact of HM on BI. The present study confirmed the validity of the UTAUT research model in predicting the intention to use an EC system in developing countries. Implications and recommendations for government and EC developers are also discussed.
