Abstract for: CLD and Leverage Points Approach for reducing Transport Poverty in Austria

Insufficient transport options reduce access to essential services like employment, education, and healthcare, negatively affecting well-being and perpetuating poverty cycles. Long commutes contribute to time poverty, increased stress, and challenges in balancing work and family responsibilities. Addressing transport poverty is crucial for equity, enabling access to opportunities and improving quality of life. Semi-structured interviews analysed with qualitative content analysis methodology and examined for themes, key variables, causal relationships, feedback loops and time lags, resulting in a set of CLDs (Eker and Zimmermann, 2016). The final step will be the application of Meadows' concept of leverage points (Meadows, 2009). By now literature research, interview collection and interview analysis are finished. The results of the quantitative data, CLDs and leverage points approach are in progress and will be available at the time of the conference.
