Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of implementing a demand responsive transport system in the Košice and Prešov regions of East Slovakia. This was achieved through a willingness-to-pay survey conducted in six villages in the target regions. Two separate models were constructed based on the survey results to estimate the residents’ willingness to pay for trips to the nearest major city or the regional capital. The study revealed that the average willingness to pay for trips to the nearest LAU 1 (NUTS 4) administrative center was €0.86 per kilometer, while for trips to NUTS 3 administrative centers, it was €0.38 per kilometer. These findings suggest that demand responsive transport may be more suitable for shorter local journeys than for longer journeys. The study also identified several variables that affect the willingness to pay, such as the frequency and quality of the existing bus transit system and the use of other modes of transport. Additionally, this study highlights the potential benefit of demand responsive transport for residents with mobility impairments or those who travel alone.

愿意为东斯洛伐克农村地区的需求响应运输付费

这项研究的目的是调查在东斯洛伐克Košice和Prešov地区实施需求响应运输系统的可行性。这是通过在目标地区的六个村庄进行支付意愿调查实现的。根据调查结果构建了两个独立的模型来估计居民前往最近的主要城市或地区首府的旅行意愿。研究显示，前往最近的劳1 (NUTS 4)行政中心的平均支付意愿为每公里0.86欧元，而前往NUTS 3行政中心的平均支付意愿为每公里0.38欧元。这些发现表明，需求响应型交通可能更适合短途旅行，而不是长途旅行。该研究还确定了影响支付意愿的几个变量，例如现有公共汽车运输系统的频率和质量以及其他运输方式的使用。此外，这项研究强调了需求响应交通对行动不便或独自旅行的居民的潜在好处。
