Transport exclusion of seniors

Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of social exclusion is an interdisciplinary issue and its multidimensional view goes beyond poverty, unemployment, and access to various goods and services. It covers also issues related to, for example: breaking social ties, a sense of isolation and dependence on others. The problem of social exclusion affects many social groups, but there are groups that are more sensitive, becoming recipients of the adverse effects of this phenomenon. The elderly are a group particularly vulnerable to the effects of exclusion. The aim of the article is to outline the problem of seniors’ transport exclusion as a dynamically growing phenomenon in rural areas. The article attempts to answer the question of to what extent the surveyed seniors experience an unfavourable communication situation and how limited access to public transportation affects their functioning.
