The U.K. government is committed to establishing a coherent network of marine protected areas by 2012 and the recent Marine and Coastal Access Act, 2009 will designate marine conservation zones and provide wider access rights to the coast. To fulfill these goals, this article argues the need for a clearer, shared understanding of the social value of protected areas in creating new designations and managing existing ones. Although marine and coastal environments attract many people and are vitally important in terms of realized and potential social value, the majority of the public in the United Kingdom lacks understanding and awareness regarding them. Combined with this, the social value of marine and coastal protected areas (MCPAs) have been largely ignored relative to conservation and economics, with the latter invariably taking precedence in environmental policymaking. Social value reflects the complex, individual responses that people experience in a given place. Many reasons determine why one area is valued above another, and this research investigates the social value of MCPAs from a practitioner's perspective through a series of interviews. Understanding why we “socially” value MCPAs will ultimately equip managers with an informed understanding of these spaces, influence management decisions, and, potentially, policymaking. This article defines social value in the context of MCPAs in England and Wales from a practitioner perspective, explores key concepts, and suggests possible improvements in decision-making. 相似文献

Abstract Legislation authorizing the national marine sanctuary program was enacted a decade ago. Since this time, six national sanctuaries have been designated and several additional offshore sites have been reviewed. This paper reviews issues associated with implementation of the program since its inception and focuses on four sites which have undergone review as illustrative of primary programmatic issues: The Channel Islands and Point Reyes‐Farallon Islands National Marine Sanctuaries; the Flower Garden Banks; and Georges Bank. 相似文献

The majority of bicycling in the US is for recreation rather than transportation purposes but few studies have examined the question of bicycling purpose. We use data from an online survey conducted in 2006 in six small cities in the western US to examine factors affecting bicycling for transportation compared to bicycling for recreation. The results indicate that individual, social-environment, and physical-environment factors have important influences on the balance between transportation and recreational bicycling and on miles of bicycling for each purpose. Bicycling comfort and an aversion to driving are associated with more transportation bicycling. A culture of utilitarian bicycling and short distances to destinations are also key factors for transportation bicycling. Bicycle infrastructure appears to play an indirect role through its effect on perceived bicycling safety and through the self-selection effect, by attracting bicycling-inclined people to bicycling-supportive communities. 相似文献

We examine the role of social networks in enabling access to private-vehicle transportation, through getting rides and borrowing cars. Based on qualitative findings from ten focus group discussions with recent Mexican immigrants to California, half of whom have no car, we describe the extent to which participants depend on rides and borrowed cars for transportation. We highlight the unique aspects of informal access to cars, drawing on social exchange theory and related research to characterize the procurement process and likely levels of exchange. We discuss the implications of these findings for transportation services that might serve this and other community groups. 相似文献

In this paper, we present a discussion of the challenges for research on the topic of vehicle miles traveled. We then summarize and critique evidence from the US on the association between 14 distinct factors and vehicle miles traveled. Our results quantify how much vehicle miles traveled can be expected to change in response to changes in policy or land use factors, including residential density and land use mix, as well as specific transport policies and programs such as transit improvements, road pricing, and programs aimed at changing people’s travel choices. Overall, though individual studies differ as to exact effect sizes, it is clear that local-level policymakers can take actions that are likely to affect vehicle miles traveled. However, we highlight gaps in the knowledge base at a time when decision makers at the local level are being increasingly called upon to take action to reduce vehicle miles traveled. Variation in effect size based on local context or interaction with related policies and programs has been left largely unexplored. In addition, experimental research designs that can identify causal direction are rare, and appropriate data that quantifies vehicle miles traveled are often lacking. 相似文献

The Influences of the Built Environment and Residential Self-Selection on Pedestrian Behavior: Evidence from Austin, TX 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Pedestrian travel offers a wide range of benefits to both individuals and society. Planners and public health officials alike
have been promoting policies that improve the quality of the built environment for pedestrians: mixed land uses, interconnected
street networks, sidewalks and other facilities. Whether such policies will prove effective remains open to debate. Two issues
in particular need further attention. First, the impact of the built environment on pedestrian behavior may depend on the
purpose of the trip, whether for utilitarian or recreational purposes. Second, the connection between the built environment
and pedestrian behavior may be more a matter of residential location choice than of travel choice. This study aims to provide
new evidence on both questions. Using 1368 respondents to a 1995 survey conducted in six neighborhoods in Austin, TX, two
separate negative binomial models were estimated for the frequencies of strolling trips and pedestrian shopping trips within
neighborhoods. We found that although residential self-selection impacts both types of trips, it is the most important factor
explaining walking to a destination (i.e. for shopping). After accounting for self-selection, neighborhood characteristics
(especially perceptions of these characteristics) impact strolling frequency, while characteristics of local commercial areas
are important in facilitating shopping trips. 相似文献

This paper offers a conceptual exploration of the potential impacts of ICTs on leisure activities and the associated travel.
We start by discussing what leisure is and is not. We point out that the boundaries between leisure, mandatory, and maintenance
activities are permeable, for three reasons: the multi-attribute nature of a single activity, the sequential interleaving
of activity fragments, and the simultaneous conduct of multiple activities (multitasking). We then discuss four kinds of ways
by which ICT can affect leisure activities and travel: the replacement of a traditional activity with an ICT counterpart,
the generation of new ICT activities (that may displace other activities), the ICT-enabled reallocation of time to other activities,
and ICT as a facilitator of leisure activities. We suggest 13 dimensions of leisure activities that are especially relevant
to the issue of ICT impacts: location (in)dependence, mobility-based versus stationary, time (in)dependence, planning horizon,
temporal structure and fragmentation, possible multitasking, solitary versus social activity, active versus passive participation,
physical versus mental, equipment/media (in)dependence, informal versus formal arrangements required, motivation, and cost.
The primary impact of ICT on leisure is to expand an individual’s choice set; however whether or not the new options will
be chosen depends on the attributes of the activity (such as the 13 identified dimensions), as well as those of the individual.
The potential transportation impacts when the new options are chosen are ambiguous. 相似文献

This study examines the journey to work as a multiple-purpose trip (home-to-home circuit). Using disaggregate travel diary data collected over 35 consecutive days, the study shows the importance of the multi-purpose work trip in the overall travel pattern of the urban household. A large proportion of many households' total travel is undertaken in conjunction with the journey to and from work. The paper also examines the nature of these work-induced travel linkages and finds that many types of urban establishments depend heavily upon stops made in connection with the work trip. In fact, there is a group of urban functions that have stronger travel links with the workplace than with the home or with any other type of urban establishment. The study examines the implications of the multi-purpose journey to work for policies regarding mode use and the viability of centrally-located urban functions. 相似文献

AbstractPersistent development, population pressures, and increasing natural hazards are unequivocally changing socio-ecological systems in the coastal zone. This essay provides direction and initiates scientific dialog on the potential role of mobility in adapting to natural and social changes in coastal environments. The essay identifies four key research areas on information needed to develop coastal management actions and policies that support and recognize socio-ecological coupling in coastal areas. The proposed research includes: (1) modeling localized scenarios that illustrate the tradeoffs associated with various sea level rise adaptation, (2) assessing and consolidating mobility terminology for different applications and contexts, (3) developing solutions to synchronize the co-migration of natural environments and built infrastructure, and (4) evaluating existing or creating new transparent, equitable, and sustainable policies and incentives to support socio-ecological mobility by using case studies and social science methods to understand how people make mobility decisions in different contexts. 相似文献
