[sustran] Re: Activity-based travel behaviour studies in the developing world

[jeff turner]

Dear Mr King

You may be interested in work I and my colleagues did in Accra, Ghana that 
used an activity-based approach to explore travel behaviour amongst 
low-income households. This was reported at the 7th WCTR and is posted at:

http://www.geocities.com/transport_research/jtg96.htm

I have posted subsequent work connected to this at:

http://www.geocities.com/transport_research/publi.htm

and have also published a book on the work with Professors Margaret Grieco 
and Nana Apt called 'At Christmas and on Rainy Days: Travel, Transport and 
the Female Trader of Accra' Ashgate Publishers, Aldershot, 1996.

It may also be useful to explore some of the substantial body of time-use 
literature from developing countries particularly Africa, in this respect.

Hope this helps

Cheers
