Car dependency's user attitudes and perceptions across diverse Lombardia spatial contexts

Car dependency deals with spatial and subjective features that add complexity to this concept. This research tries to bridge quantitative and qualitative approaches by exploring the results of a survey on inhabitants' attitudes and perceptions of car dependency across Lombardia's diverse territorial contexts. The results reveal heterogeneity within and across different car dependency spatial clusters, challenging deterministic assumptions about car dependency based solely on sociospatial factors. Key findings include the nuanced relationship between selfperception of car dependency, the features of the territorial context, and how users relate to space, activities, and automobiles. The insights underscore the interplay between spatial and subjective dimensions of car dependency, offering a wider understanding of the phenomenon.
