Özet:
This study examines the socio-spatial factors that impact female drivers in terms of spatial mobility and city experience, as well as the characteristics of their spatial mobility. Women’s spatial mobility tend to be family-oriented, shorter in distances, longer in time, multi-chained, and they tend to depend more on public transportation. Gender roles and safety are two main starting point in understanding the nature of women’s spatial mobility in the city. There are three factors that influence women’s spatial mobility: individual-related factors, social-related factors, and political related factors. Women who are older in age, married with at least one dependent child, have lower education, unemployed, and come from lower income household have less spatial mobility and overall city experience. Other political factors such as laws and regulations, and the lack of female participation in transportation and urban planning and academic studies play a critical role in hindering women’s spatial mobility. This aim of this research is to investigates two main aspects of women’s spatial mobility. The first aspect is to investigate the social and individual factors that impact her likability to drive her own car or to travel with other public transportation. The second aspect is the impact of gender role and the presence of at least one dependent child on the the characteristics of spatial mobility for women who drive/travel. This study is developed using a case study on female drivers and travelers from Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia. Jeddah was chosen as a new emergent case in the literature review. This study will include conducted surveys with 100 women who drive and women who travel, with or without at least one dependent child.
