Sažetak
This report contains methodology and results of survey on travel behaviour in the Republic of Croatia. The Institute of Social Sciences Ivo Pilar conducted the survey from September to November 2014 as a part of the IPA project National Traffic Model for the Republic of Croatia. The primary aim of the travel behaviour survey was to provide information about personal travel within Croatia. A second aim of the survey was to obtain the background information needed for better understanding of travel behaviour, particularly to gain insight into social dimensions of both general travel demand and choice of travel mode. Specific objectives of the survey were to collect information on travelling on the assigned day, usual mode of travel, preferences for commuting, general attitudes towards travel, and personal and household data. The travel behaviour survey had a cross- sectional design with individuals being the basic unit of the analysis. The target population was those aged 14 and older living in private households in Croatia. The sample was composed of 3, 000 respondents. A majority of all respondents were mobile on the reporting day ; approximately 76% reported travelling, while 24% reported staying at home on the assigned day. On average, respondents reported 2.45 trips per person per day, and they spent 42 minutes travelling per day. For mobile respondents only, the trip rate was 3.23 trips per day ; on average, they spent 55 minutes travelling per day. Residential context was only slightly associated with the trip rates ; the lowest rate (2.14 trips per day) was among respondents from the smallest settlements (less than 1, 500 residents), but there was no significant difference in trip rates among the three largest groups of settlement (trip rates were between 2.6 and 2.7). Going home accounted for about 41% of all trips, and it was the single most frequent purpose of a trip. Food and household supply shopping was the second most frequent trip purpose, and it accounted for 12% of all trips. Going to work was in third place, and it accounted for about 11% of all trips. A car was the most popular type of transportation with approximately 51% of all trips being made by car (as a driver or as a passenger). Walking was on the second place and accounted for 30% of all trips. Only about 12% of all trips were made by public transport. Approximately 20% of surveyed households did not have a car, while about 54% had one car and about 25% had two or more cars. Two-thirds of survey participants aged 18 or older held a driving license.
