Daily travel and inequalities: the case of low income populations

The curent context of increasing social and spatial disparities raises the issue of universal accessibility to the city and its services, in particular for persons on low incomes. The issue of inequalities with regard to travel, which we have considered first of all at an aggregate level using the usual travel indicators (number of trips, distance covered, travel time budget) essentially comes down to inequality in access to the car. An analysis of recent changes in urban public transport pricing policy, a survey conducted within welfare and social integration agencies in the conurbations of Lyon, Nancy, and a series of interviews with individuals in a situation of precarity have been used to obtain a more accurate qualitative and quantitative picture of transport difficulties.France ; daily travel ; low income population ; inequality ; public tansport pricing policy ; transport assistance

Transportation and access to urban services in Dar es Salaam

Transportation in Dar es Salaam is particularly difficult. Statistical data drawn from the 1993 Human Resources Development Survey confirm that in unplanned settlements, transportation conditions and access to urban services are less favourable than in the rest of the city. The poverty of a majority of city inhabitants, the low quality of urban passenger transport and poor accessibility result in daily mobility reduced to the immediate neighbourhood, while in turn tends to perpetuate poverty.Access to urban services ; daily mobility ; Statistical data (HRDS 1993) ; poverty ; Dar es Salaam

A multi-output cost function for port terminals : some guidelines for regulation

Cargo handling in ports is a multioutput activity, as freight can arrive in many forms such as containers, bulk, rolling stock, or noncontainerized general cargo. In this paper Tovar, Jara-D?, and Trujillo analyze the operation of port terminals through the estimation of a multioutput cost model that uses monthly data on three firms located at the Las Palmas port in Spain. This permits the calculation of product-specific marginal costs, economies of scale (general and by firm), and economies of scope, which are key tools to help the regulators in their task.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Decentralization,Transport and Trade Logistics,Business Environment,Environmental Economics&Policies,Airports and Air Services,Economic Theory&Research,Transport and Trade Logistics,Transport Security

Production and cost functions and their application to the port sector : a literature survey

Seaports provide multiple services to ships, cargo, and passengers. These services can be performed by a combination of public and private initiatives. Usually, the role of public sector institutions is to regulate and supervise private firms. In performing that task public sector institutions require in-depth knowledge of firms'cost structure. This paper offers a review of the literature about ports'cost structure and of its implications for regulation. The paper argues that the operation of port terminals should be analyzed by means of multiproduct theory. This approach allows the calculation of several cost indicators (economies of scale, scope, and so forth) which are key tools to help regulators.Environmental Economics&Policies,Business Environment,Information Technology,Economic Theory&Research,Labor Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Business Environment,Business in Development,Information Technology
