This study assessed the extent of social exclusion of vulnerable population by the analysis of their travel characteristics and behavior. Descriptive statistics based on 2010 Seoul Travel Survey was conducted and the trip generation model using ordered probit was estimated. Four broad results and their corresponding implications can be summarized. First, the individual and household properties of disadvantaged people were confirm again as a factor for social exclusion, as previous studies in the literature have reported. This finding can signify that bespoke transport polices for the vulnerable class are essential to mitigate the exclusion. Second, variables from economic activities that have not been very often adopted in this filed were also identified as a key determinant of social exclusion. Even though a form of employment was only considered in this research, other activities related to production, distribution, exchange and consumption can also affect the extent of social exclusion. Third, transport factors showed the similar trend that have been captured in the literature. It is however a limitation of this study not to associate with the component of travel impedance. An accessibility analysis that combines socioeconomic opportunities and travel deterrence can open a wider window that can appreciate the relationship between transport and social exclusion. Finally, it was inferred that differences in urban forms can generate different extents of social exclusion. Follow-up studies thus should incorporate land-use and/or regional variables.
