Role of social dimensions on active transportation and environmental protection: A survey at the University of Samarra, Iraq

ConclusionsThis study identified sociocultural, environmental, and transportation factors that affect the use of active transportation (i.e., walking and cycling) to and from the University of Samara. Increasing awareness within the society about the advantages of active transportation and an improvement in country security will largely help people to engage more in active transportation. This awareness through education should specifically target females whose societal norms and traditions hamper their engagement in active transportation.
