dc.description.abstractWithin last two decades of research regarding intermodal transportation of goods and passengers in rural areas was done separately. Statistics and research methods of two subjects has to be combined as intermodal transportation of goods as well as passengers and subject of rural areas are becoming more intertwined due to increased growth of rural areas and their need of almost constant flow of goods (Jones et al., 2000). The purpose of this thesis is to explore options to combine goods transportation with passenger transportation in rural coastal areas of Sweden. The following research takes into consideration the rural areas inhabitant´s and passenger´s opinions, needs and points of view regarding combined transportation, handling of goods and passengers in rural coastal areas. The project was conducted by collecting quantitative and qualitative data of travellers’ and inhabitants’ opinions and attitudes about combined transport of people and goods on passenger ferries in the Swedish archipelago. This was conducted by analysing the results and by constructing a recommendation. The research is limited to maritime transportation in the archipelago of the Swedish west coast and municipalities of Orust, Lysekil and city of Gothenburg. The information was gathered from relevant academic literature sources as well as interviews and questionnaires. Flow of goods is limited to parcels, goods aimed for construction, hazardous goods, palletized goods and recyclable waste. Logistical transport mode – boats/ferries.
