Equity And The Struggle Against Social Exclusion In Urban Transport: On Certain Aspects In The City Of Batna (algeria)

Authors : Houssem Mouffouk .

Abstract

The proposed paper presents the results of a research project completed in 2010, financed by the CREAD, on the theme of urban transport and sustainable development in the City of Batna (Algeria). A large part of this research was devoted to the study of the exclusion from the public transportation network by bus. The results show that a certain part of the population (mainly peri-urban) suffers, firstly, from the lack of spatial and temporal coverage. Secondly, there is a certain form of exclusion caused by the cost when this population tries to find alternatives as when using informal transport (1).
