The dubious grounds for such a policy are belied by its unsuitability from inadequate maintenance, significant environmental and social dis-benefits, namely the loss of scarce land through road construction which leads directly to increased poverty, and destruction of dwindling forest resources. In this paper the author argues that prominence given to road construction should be questioned, especially in view of the country's rich endowment of waterways and non-motorized forms of transport which are less environmentally destructive.","PeriodicalId":441567,"journal":{"name":"World Transport Policy and Practice","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124301777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper also draws on two other surveys of the transport patterns and travel behaviour in Accra. The first is a survey of portering in Accra where 81 interviews with porters were conducted in respect of the gender divisions in access to wheeled technology, access to credit within the urban poor and the role of non-motorized modes within mixed traffic. The second survey conducted 275 interviews with female and male traders on their transport needs, the importance of their economic role within the household and the use of family, especially girl child, labour within their enterprises. This research was conducted as part of the research programme of the Overseas Centre of the Transport Research Laboratory on behalf of the Overseas Development Administration.

The economic motor whic has driven transport policy for so long (even though a questionab basis in itself) is no longer appropriate in the context of sustainable development. Yet it still predominates. The view of governments is still to \"take account of\" the environment, not to make it a central objective. In this paper some specific transpo policy issues are discussed: the Trans European Network for Transport; motorway charging; airports; and new road construction Only a systematic assessment of environmental impacts prior to th adoption of a policy or policy change will enable a sensible choi of options to be made.

Hillman et al. (1990) have noted how the proportion of seven-eight year old children who travel independently to school in England has declined from 80 per cent in 1971 to 9 per cent in 1990. A full understanding of parental views on the journey to school is required if policy makers wish to encourage parents to behave differently. The implication of Hillman et al.'s finding is that, since traffic danger is of prime significance to parents, improvements in traffic calming, safe routes to school etc. would result in a decrease in parental accompaniment. However, if parental reasoning is more multifaceted than Hillman et al.'s data acknow- ledges, a single policy measure focusing only on traffic is unlikely to affect parental behaviour. The current study aimed to discover more about parental preferences and how these influence children's travel behaviour.

I am myself disabled and will use my experiences of being partially sighted. My disability ensures that I am unable to drive a motor car, and am therefore dependent on buses, trains, cycling and walking. For these modes of transport, provision is least developed and in some areas declining rather than developing. Problems experienced by visually impaired people, whether partially sighted or blind, are common to many other sections of the community who may be, or perceive themselves to be, vulnerable. These would include ethnic minority groups, the old or young, and physically disabled people using wheelchairs. Although the difficulties faced by disabled people are similar around the world, I will only compare the provision of facilities of urban Britain with those of urban western Europe, where in many countries transport planning has catered for the needs of disabled people. Having been fortunate enough to visit India, I recognize that the facilities for disabled people in urban Britain are substantially greater than those of many developing countries.","PeriodicalId":441567,"journal":{"name":"World Transport Policy and Practice","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129636451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their reservations about the validity of the conclusions of our study stem from their observation that the parents in our survey were asked only for the main reason for the restrictions rather than being provided with the opportunity to cite multiple reasons. In their view, this explains why they found that \"stranger danger\" is a more common reason than our finding that \"fear of a road accident\" is more common. In an attempt to justify their judgement, they contrast the pattern of school journeys in their survey area in Oxford City and Oxfordshire in 1993 with ours by abstracting data from one of our 1990 survey areas, namely Nottingham, which the 1991 Census shows to have had a similar rate of car ownership to their survey area. What they seem to overlook is the fact that the differences in our findings on this issue are more likely to be accounted for by several important factors other than that parents in our survey were limited to providing only the main reason for imposing restrictions.","PeriodicalId":441567,"journal":{"name":"World Transport Policy and Practice","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121044104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
