Abstract

To fight atmospheric air pollution, Georgian government has implemented law about vehicle inspection. The aim of this survey is to determine under which conditions are owners of technically faulty vehicles ready to give up using technically faulty cars. Within the qualitative study the in-depth interviews were conducted. Taxi drivers think that, even though in long term they appreciate efficacy of vehicle inspection, due to harsh economic situation, currently introducing such law is deadly for them. It is recommended to develop public transport, increase awareness about harmful effects of atmospheric air pollution, control should be placed on the quality of fuel.
