The transition from having been under another country’s control to becoming a democratic country can, many times, pose difficulties, which has proven itself to be quite common. Estonia and Moldova’s processes towards a democratic regime are two examples of countries with varied success in the final transition phase. When the USSR (Soviet union) fell and collapsed in 1991 Estonia was well on their way from having a communistic ruling to a democratic one due to the fact that their democratic work had already begun a few years prior to 1991. After the collapse Estonia continued with their democratic work and in 2004 the country became a EU member state. Moldova, compared to Estonia, had grave difficulties early on with their democratic work. The country was separated in 1992 and, as a result, the government did not have control over the entire country. Due to this the state of law did not extend over the entire country, which made it difficult for the government to continue with their democratic work. To succeed with consolidation there has to exist positive attitudes and a desire to follow the democratic rules, which did exist in Estonia however, in Moldova, it was lacking. The purpose of this investigation is to discover the causes behind the two countries’ success with democracy, or the lack off, as well as, from a consolidation perspective, investigating into why Estonia and not Moldova was able to establish a stable democracy. The results show that the five consolidation aspects, which were analyzed in this investigation, carry the responsibilities behind the success of the countries’ democratic processes and also, the reason for why democracy thrived in Estonia and not in Moldova. The consolidation viewpoint show that the Moldovan republic had a difficult time succeeding with democracy due to the country’s separation as well as their nationality crisis. The viewpoint also shows how Estonia early on had its people’s positive attitudes supporting them, which made it easier to implement different economical, political and social reforms.

Based on previous research about gender equality in transport planning there are some obvious inequalities between the two genders. To start with, women's and men's travel patterns are different, the difference occurs in the causes of these travel patterns. For example men´s travel pattern show that they travel mostly from home to work, while women take different trips between home, work, shop and in behalf of others, such as taking children to school. The difference also occurs in with regards to usage of different transport modes and other categories presented in this research. The purpose of this thesis has been to explore why such differences occur and how gender equality is integrated in transport planning in Estonia. In order to study how gender equality in transport planning is managed, a study based on qualitative methods transport agencies experiences with regards to gender equality was carried out. Furthermore, the study was based on literature reviews and interviews. The results show that there is little expertise within this topic in Estonia and even while the topic is known, it is not integrated into transport planning. The results also indicate several challenges such as traditional and stereotypical attitudes towards gender roles in the Estonian society. The conclusion is that there are several underlying problems. It is clear that the respondents have the knowledge about the topic, however not with regards to the transport planning sector. The reasons according to transport planners are that gender equality in transport planning sector is not prioritised. Furthermore, the study could show a resistance in getting information for the research topic which demonstrates how unfamiliar this topic is among those in transport planning sector today. The challenges such as lack of knowledge and lack of expertise are some of the obstacles that needs to be dealt with before gender equality could be successfully implemented and integrated into transport planning in Estonia. / <p>2019-06-07</p>
