Abstract

The use of car sharing has experienced rapid growth in recent years, but user-numbers are still low, and privately owned cars dominate. This paper studies how the use of car sharing contributes to altering the car system in urban areas. The study employs data from semi-structured interviews with 39 households in Oslo that are members of car-sharing arrangements. How does the current use of car sharing in Oslo relate to and influence the established use of privately owned cars? Are these relations elements in a transition towards sustainable mobility? The study finds that car sharing acts help to promote reduced car-ownership, changing and reducing the overall use of cars. However, there are limits to its contribution to environmental sustainability because of the continued use of fossil fuel cars and the continued dependence on privately used cars.
现有的和新兴的:汽车所有权和汽车共享在通往可持续交通的道路上
近年来,共享汽车的使用经历了快速增长,但用户数量仍然很低,私家车占主导地位。本文研究了汽车共享的使用如何有助于改变城市地区的汽车系统。该研究采用了对奥斯陆39个家庭的半结构化访谈数据,这些家庭都是汽车共享安排的成员。目前在奥斯陆使用的汽车共享与私家车的既定使用有什么关系和影响?这些关系是向可持续流动性过渡的要素吗?研究发现,汽车共享行为有助于减少汽车保有量,改变和减少汽车的整体使用。然而,由于化石燃料汽车的持续使用和对私人二手车的持续依赖,它对环境可持续性的贡献是有限的。
