Abstract There is a growing phenomenon of grassroots innovation, that is, that triggered by individual users or communities (physical or virtual) seeking a solution to a personal or societal problem. This has great potential as a new source of sustainable transport innovations, but has received little attention to date. This study conducted 16 in-depth interviews and a workshop with grassroots innovators in transport. A detailed thematic analysis of the interview data identified: catalysts for the idea and the motivation behind its pursuit; the barriers experienced (those that were overcome and those that were not); and the enablers that permitted the innovations to continue and to flourish. The paper concludes by identifying the conditions that need to exist for such innovations to be created, developed and exploited in order that their potential for increasing the sustainability of the transport system can be fulfilled. 相似文献

Assessing the impact of characteristics of the built environment on travel behavior can yield valuable tools for land use
and transportation planning. Of particular interest are planning models that can estimate the effects of ‘smart growth’ planning.
In this paper, a post-processor method of quantifying and searching for relationships among many aspects of travel behavior
and the built environment is developed and applied to the Buffalo, NY area. A wide scope of travel behavior is examined, and
over 50 variables, many of which are based on high-detail data sources, are examined for potentially quantifying the built
environment. Linear modeling is then used to relate travel behavior and the built environment, and the resulting models may
be applied in a post-processor fashion to travel models to provide some measure of sensitivity to built environment modifications.
The study’s findings demonstrate that mode choice is highly correlated to measures of the built environment, and that many
of the principles of smart growth appear to be a valid way to encourage non-vehicle travel. Home-based VHT and VMT appear
to be affected by the built environment to a lesser degree. 相似文献
