Abstract

In response to the negative effects of the car-dominated transport sector, especially in urban areas, and wider attempts to tackle the climate crisis, cities are reallocating car-dominated areas to promote active mobility, leisure and urban green space. These reallocations often take an experimental character and are accompanied by participation processes. Increased citizen participation results from both a paradigm shift in urban planning and a discourse shift towards mobility justice, emphasizing procedural and recognitional aspects of the transport transition. However, participatory planning processes themselves are conflict-ridden. They are criticised for favouring a loud, priviliged minority. Based on the need for diverse knowledge for mobility justice, including lived expertise, this study examines reasons for (non-) participation among structurally disadvantaged groups in transport planning, using Berlin’s Graefekiez neighbourhood as a case study. Focus groups were conducted with mobility-disabled people and women from a residential area with low socio-economic status. Our analysis revealed that non-participation was influenced by the feeling of being excluded and ignored. Simultaneously, the research format created was perceived as a welcoming space that better reflects the lived expertise of the neighbourhood and facilitates real exchange of perspectives. Based on this, recommendations are derived to improve participatory transport planning processes and the strengths of transdisciplinary projects.
结构上处于不利地位的人的生活经验:促进更公正的参与性交通规划进程
为了应对汽车主导的交通部门(尤其是在城市地区)的负面影响,以及应对气候危机的更广泛尝试,城市正在重新分配汽车主导的区域,以促进积极的交通、休闲和城市绿色空间。这些重新分配通常具有实验性,并伴随着参与过程。公民参与的增加源于城市规划的范式转变和对流动性正义的话语转变,强调交通转型的程序和认可方面。然而,参与性规划过程本身充满冲突。他们被批评偏袒吵闹的、享有特权的少数人。基于对交通公平多元化知识的需求,包括生活经验,本研究以柏林的graaefekiez社区为例,探讨了结构上处于不利地位的群体(不)参与交通规划的原因。对行动不便的人和来自低社会经济地位居民区的妇女进行了焦点小组调查。我们的分析显示,不参与受到被排斥和被忽视的感觉的影响。同时,创建的研究格式被认为是一个温馨的空间,更好地反映了社区的生活专业知识,并促进了真正的观点交流。在此基础上,提出了改善参与式交通规划过程和跨学科项目优势的建议。

期刊介绍: Mobilities examines both the large-scale movements of people, objects, capital, and information across the world, as well as more local processes of daily transportation, movement through public and private spaces, and the travel of material things in everyday life. Recent developments in transportation and communications infrastructures, along with new social and cultural practices of mobility, present new challenges for the coordination and governance of mobilities and for the protection of mobility rights and access. This has elicited many new research methods and theories relevant for understanding the connections between diverse mobilities and immobilities.
