Offers and criteria of success in nightly leisure-traffic (SVI2001/507)
Overview
Background & policy context:
This study is focused on the post-midnight leisure traffic, a subcomponent of recreational traffic. This is a topic which cannot be underestimated, most notably in larger cities and agglomerations. The main activity is the attendance of events, often summarised by the term “party.” Therefore, the term “party traffic” will also be used hereafter. This type of traffic is predominantly generated by a young public made up of party-goers mainly between the ages of 18 and 25.
Objectives:
The objective of this research is the listing of measures, which either reduce motorised individual nocturnal leisure traffic and/or can contribute to an increase in road safety.
Methodology:
In order to do justice to the rapidly changing nocturnal leisure offers with the resulting volume of traffic, only qualitative research approaches were used. Through a literature analysis, the most current available studies and reports on the subject of nocturnal leisure traffic were compiled and analysed. Discussion panels were conducted in the cities of Geneva, St. Gall and Zurich among “party-goers” to discover their fundamental needs and their assessment on the matter of nocturnal
recreational traffic. Subsequently, 11 organisers of nighttime leisure events were surveyed on this topic by way of questionnaire.
