Core indicator information
Nature of data Quantitative, survey-based.
Data source 1989/90 data from New Zealand Household Travel Survey 1989/90, Ministry of Transport (N=8700 fully responding people).
1997/98 data from New Zealand Household Travel Survey 1997/98, Land Transport Safety Authority (N=14250 fully responding people).
From 2003, Ongoing Household Travel Survey, Ministry of Transport. Sample survey of 2200 households per year, running throughout the year. Respondents reported all travel in specified two-day period. See www.transport.govt.nz/ongoing-travel-survey-index/ for more information.
Populations: Statistics NZ usually resident population counts and estimates (ages 5 and over) for the relevant periods (www.stats.govt.nz).
Note re 2003-7 and 2004-08 In 2009, the Ongoing Household Travel Survey dataset was revised to ensure professional driver trips were excluded where possible. This has resulted in revision to the 2003-07 and 2004-08 figures above.
Definition Total time spent walking per person per year, by New Zealand residents aged 5 and over. Excludes walking in the bush, on private property (eg farms, malls) and trips under 100 metres.
Frequency 1989/90 ; 1997/98. From 2003, updated annually with four year moving average. Periods run from July to June so 2003-2007 means July 2003 - June 2007.
Disaggregation
