Children’s Attitudes to Sustainable Transport. Research Findings No.174/2003

Abstract

The Scottish Executive commissioned research on children's and young people's attitudes towards sustainable transport and transport choice and how these attitudes are developed by schools, the informal education sector, parents, and children's own experiences as transport users. The study consisted of review of existing research, inputs from a wide range of experts and practitioners, and the main fieldwork consisting of 12 case studies across a variety of Scottish schools. Young people, their parents and teachers were engaged via qualitative and quantitative research tools.
