Abstract
The use of cars is increasing in rural areas. Despite policy efforts, this has not yet been changed. Meanwhile, the number of alternatives is decreasing. This might have an increasing effect on the perceived car dependency. This research focusses on the relation between the concept of motility and car dependency. Qualitative research has been employed, consisting of eight semi-structured in-depth interviews with a total of nine participants. The participants are aged between 22 and 81, live in the municipality of Midden-Drenthe and have a private car in their household. During the research, a range of experiences and perceived problems were encounter when using alternatives to the car. Dispersion, inadequate public transport services and inadequate infrastructural space were often indicated to be problematic. These factors had a negative influence on an individual’s motility. In turn, the same factors had an increasing effect on perceived car dependency.
