Abstract

Stable transport system is a collection of continuous dynamic policies and instructions that covers economic and environmental targets while results in a fair distribution and application of resources

to full fill current and future needs of society.

The goal of this research, which based on a descriptive analytic approach, is to find solutions for stable urban transport system in the city of Isfahan by comparing costs of private and public transport. For this purpose, effective factors in developing public transport of Isfahan have been identified. Data mining has been done by a survey which extracted from theoretical principles of research and organised in 36 diction and 3 dimension by using analytical exploring methods. Second questionnaire measured variables in a five degree Likert scale which prepared by using a simple random sampling method and given to residents of Isfahan. Then data analysis has been performed at two levels of descriptive statistics (distribution table, statistics indexes and graphs) and deductive statistics (t single variable). At the end three economic, social and environmental indexes have been considered as the main factors. 46 subset of the mentioned main factors have been identified which have affects in stability of Isfahan transport system. Also assumption of instability of Isfahan transport system has been confirmed by this research. In the end, the development and organization of bus lines and the culture of using buses instead of private cars were presented as the most important ways to achieve sustainable transportation in Isfahan.
