| dc.description.abstract | Objective - This study aims to analyze the perceptions of the resident-consumers in Portugal regarding sustainable mobility options. Methodology – A quantitative methodology was adopted to test, through several hypotheses, the impact of different variables on the likelihood of choosing sustainable mobility options. To collect the data, an online survey with a sample of 645 valid responses was applied. A thematic content analysis of 402 observations was used to understand which factors respondents consider to be able to contribute to their adoption of more sustainable mobility behaviors. Results and main conclusions: Attitudes towards sustainable mobility, subjective norms, perceived behavior control, and egoistic values influence the likelihood of choosing sustainable mobility options. However, environmental attitudes, altruistic and biospheric values do not impact this choice. The existence of a broad public transport network, safe bicycle lanes, and accessible prices impact the adoption of sustainable mobility behaviors. Limitations: The use of a non-probabilistic sample by convenience, limits the extrapolation of the results obtained. Originality/Value: The growing interest of governments and companies in reducing the emissions caused by urban mobility, and the lack of academic studies and empirical data on this subject, especially in Portugal, reveals the originality and relevance of this research. | pt_PT |
