“…There is evidence from all over the world particularly the developing countries to prove this claim. Multiple studies from India show that Indian women face various types of harassments even during day time [12]. This study further states that 51.4% of surveyed women by Jagori organization reported to have faced harassment while using public transit.…”

“…This study further states that the results of a survey conducted in the Los Angeles city shows that bulk of the car owners would use public transport if they believed it is safe and clean [15]. Likewise, another research identified that women felt unsafe when the services are not comfortable, while waiting for long times at bus stations, when the safety measures are not properly indicated and when there is lack of information about bus services [12]. In some studies women are reported to feel less fear while the vehicles are not empty and they witness the presence of additional staff.…”

Consideration of gender equality in transportation planning is quite a new phenomenon. However, its significance is discussed widely by several researchers, particularly, in developing countries. In Kandahar city of Afghanistan, women have limited choices when it comes to using transportation services. With respect to some cultural, social, contextual, environmental, technological and physical barriers; women do not receive equal services from the current transport sectors. Using Revealed Preference and Stated Preference techniques, a survey was conducted in Kandahar city to identify the differences between trip patterns and transportation needs among men and women of the city. Our findings show distinct and clear disparities in socio-demographic characteristics of men and women of Kandahar city leading to trip disparities. Almost all of women do not own any types of personal vehicles, they are less educated and do not have jobs. Likewise, there is a considerable gap between trip characteristics and patterns of men and women. Majority of female trips are for educational purposes while male trips are more dispersed over multiple activities. Motorcycle is the most dominant and preferred mode for men, while women are mostly walking or using available public transit. Compared to men, women were recorded to have lesser trips per day over short distances. Transportation choices of women are also limited to walking, accompanying other male members of family or using public modes. However, men are generally using their private cars, motorcycles and bicycles together with all those options available for women. The results of Multinomial Logit Model showed that all selected variables such as vehicle ownership, income, travel cost and time will be significant factors for mode How to cite this paper: Rahmat, M. and Mizokami, S.

“…The lack of research on women's transit safety is not exclusive to Brazil but it is a more general problem found elsewhere as well (Can, 1995;Gekoski et al, 2015;Madan and Nalla, 2015;Natarajan, 2016;Seedat et al, 2006;Sham et al, 2013) This article aims at contributing to this area of research by assessing the nature, the levels and the patterns of sexual crimes against women (cases of staring, touching, groping, ejaculation, exposing genitalia and full rape) in the São Paulo metro system, the largest rapid transit system in Brazil, and the second largest in South America. The analysis is performed by comparing reported data with records of other types of crimes in the subway system in time and space.…”

The article investigates personal safety conditions in the São Paulo metro, the largest rapid transit system in Brazil. The study looks at all types of crimes, but devotes special attention to the nature and spatio-temporal dynamics of sexual crimes against women while in transit. The methodology combines Geographical Information System (GIS) and crime records with data collected using Google street view and other secondary data into a set of regression models. Findings show that sexual violence is concentrated at the busiest central stations; it often takes place during the morning and afternoon rush hours, and at stations that also attract all sorts of violence and events of public disorder.The study finalises with an analysis of the metro's current prevention practices targeting women's sexual victimisation.

“…Previous studies observed that perceived pedestrian satisfaction became tormented by a few factors. The phrase "satisfaction" has been defined as an accumulative construct to be able to affect respondents' expectations and perceptions of performances at any time (Sham et al, 2018). In this point, the pedestrian delight of pedestrian walkways is related to the notion of having safety features walkways assembly as much as humans' expectancies and opens up a possibility to crime and judging it based on how fulfilling it is closer to on walker desires in urban areas.…”

Walking has significantly contributed to a lower carbon emission of a country. With the aspiration of a lesser carbon footprint zone, the initiatives of understanding the current pedestrian system are crucial. Although walking improves green mobility, it is still known as the least preferred mode. Thus, this study aims to improve pedestrian walkways and promote a higher level of usage of pedestrian walkways by analyzing the critical factors contributing to the lower carbon footprint among the urban dwellers. The results will help to improve a lower carbon footprint practice in the metropolitan area.Keywords: Pedestrian,Friendly,Low Carbon,SatisfactioneISSN: 2398-4287 © 2020. The Authors.
