Denning, WilliamBaker, Judy L.2014-03-262014-03-262005-01https://hdl.handle.net/10986/17405This paper is aimed at providing guidance on transport issues for those involved in designing multi-topic household surveys such as the Living Standards Measurement Studies (LSMS) surveys. The inclusion of a few key questions can provide critical information for better designing transport programs and policies aimed at improving access, affordability and quality services. Questions on transport access, quality, mode, distance, time, and cost can help to understand the constraints that the population may face in accessing jobs, markets, schools, health clinics and other social services. All of this can be broken down by subgroups such as income, geographic area, gender, employment, etc. further strengthening the relevance of the analysis and contribution to policy decisions. The paper covers background on transport and multi-topic household surveys, key transport policy concerns and data needs, approaches to analysis, issues of survey design, and prototype questions that could be included in existing surveys.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO MARKETSACCESS TO SERVICESAFFORDABLE TRANSPORTAGGREGATESAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL LANDANALYTICAL WORKAUTOMOBILEAVERAGE TRAVEL TIMEBASIC ACCESSBENEFICIARIESBOTTLENECKBUS SERVICESBUS STATIONCARGOCENSUS DATACOMMUNITY LEADERSCOMMUNITY LEVELCOMMUNITY SURVEYCOUNTRY ASSISTANCE STRATEGIESDATA ANALYSISDATA COLLECTIONDATA QUALITYDESCRIPTIVE STATISTICSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISTRIBUTIONAL ANALYSISECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATION LEVELETHNIC GROUPSEXPENDITURE DATAFARESFLOODINGFRAMEWORKFUELGOVERNANCE STRUCTUREGPSHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH SURVEYSHIGHWAYSHOUSEHOLD BEHAVIORHOUSEHOLD BUDGETHOUSEHOLD CHARACTERISTICSHOUSEHOLD COMPOSITIONHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD DATAHOUSEHOLD DEMOGRAPHICSHOUSEHOLD LABORHOUSEHOLD ROSTERHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN CAPITALIMPACT EVALUATIONINCOMEINEQUALITYINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINSTITUTIONAL REFORMSINTERVENTIONINTERVIEW GUIDEINTERVIEWERJOURNEYJOURNEY TO WORKLABOR FORCELAND PRICESLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLIVING STANDARDS MEASUREMENTLIVING STANDARDS MEASUREMENT STUDYLOCAL LEVELMASS RAPID TRANSITMOBILITYMONETARY TERMSMOTORIZED TRANSPORTNATIONAL LEVELPASSENGERPATHSPAVED ROADSPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY GOALSPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLITICAL PARTICIPATIONPOOR PEOPLEPOPULATION GROUPSPORTSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY MAPPINGPOVERTY MONITORINGPOVERTY PROFILEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERSPOVERTY WORKPRIVATE SECTORSPROGRAMSPUBLIC TRANSPORTQUALITATIVE APPROACHESQUALITATIVE METHODSQUALITY CONTROLQUINTILERANDOM SAMPLERECONSTRUCTIONREGRESSION ANALYSISREPRESENTATIVE SAMPLEROADROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD QUALITYROAD SAFETYROAD USER CHARGESROUTESRURALRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL POORRURAL POVERTYRURAL ROADRURAL ROAD CONSTRUCTIONRURAL ROADSRURAL TRANSPORTRURAL TRAVELRURAL WELFARESAFETYSAMPLE SIZESAMPLE SIZESSAMPLE SURVEYSSAVINGSSERVICE PROVIDERSSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL SERVICESSURVEY QUESTIONNAIRETERRAINTOPOGRAPHYTOWN CENTERSTRAFFICTRAFFIC COUNTSTRAFFIC SAFETYTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSPORTTRANSPORT COSTTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORTATIONTRAVEL NEEDSTRAVEL PATTERNSTRAVEL TIMETRIPSURBAN AREASURBAN POORURBAN POVERTYURBAN TRANSPORTVEHICLE OCCUPANCYVEHICLE OWNERSHIPWALKINGWELFARE AGGREGATEWELFARE INDICATORS10.1596/17405
