Secondly, different types of lifestyles are identified by considering Waarden In Nederland (WIN model) as a guideline (TNS NIPO ,2006), and comparing statistical and empirical data with it. Thirdly, the current status of spatial/mobility planning of city is explained.Finally, the relation of mobility behavior and lifestyles with each other and the role of these two in mobility plan are investigated by conducting some interviews.
