Activity-specific mobility of adults in a rural region of western Kenya.

This study used both an activity-specific survey and GPS trackers to evaluate how adults accessed local resources

Abstract

Improving rural household access to resources such as markets, schools and healthcare can help alleviate poverty in low-income settings. Current models of geographic accessibility to various resources rarely take individual variation into account due to a lack of appropriate data, yet understanding mobility at an individual level is key to knowing how people access their local resources. Our study used both an activity-specific survey and GPS trackers to evaluate how adults in a rural area of western Kenya accessed local resources.

This is a publication arising from the Zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (ZELS) programme.
