在与世隔绝的农村地区,交通便利对农业发展至关重要。在过去的20年里,随着摩托车出租车的引入和普及,撒哈拉以南非洲的大多数国家在农场到市场的运输方面发生了戏剧性的变化。到目前为止,这一直是一种自发的、市场驱动的现象。需要什么样的基础设施发展才能进一步支持这场农业运输的地方革命?我们的研究使用技术图解框架来描述和评估改善村庄间人行道以使其可供利比里亚北部非公路农村的摩托车出租车使用的社会经济和技术影响。我们收集了从干预中受益的村庄和对照村庄三年的干预前基线数据和干预后影响数据。定量数据由干预前、干预中和干预后收集的定性数据补充。我们发现,将农村人行道升级为摩托车出租车可通行的轨道,促进了市场一体化,改善了获得教育和卫生设施的机会,并为农村青年创造了就业机会,几乎没有负面影响。由于在偏远的农村地区,大多数机动化交通无论如何都是由摩托车出租车进行的,轨道建设可以补充或替代昂贵的支线道路改善或建设。
Access to transport is essential for agrarian development in isolated rural areas. Over the last 20 years, most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have seen a dramatic change in farm-to-market transport following the introduction and spread of motorcycle taxis. So far, this has been a spontaneous and market-driven phenomenon. What kind of infrastructure development is needed to further support this local revolution in farm transport? Our study uses a technographic frame to describe and assess the socio-economic and technical impact of upgrading inter-village footpaths to render them usable by motorcycle taxis in off-road rural northern Liberia. We gathered pre-intervention baseline data and post-intervention impact data over a three-year period in villages benefitting from the intervention and in control villages. The quantitative data were supplemented with qualitative data gathered prior, during and after the intervention. We found that upgrading rural footpaths to motorcycle taxi-accessible tracks promotes market integration, improves access to education and health facilities, and creates jobs for rural youth, with few negative consequences. Since most motorised transport in deep rural areas takes place by motorcycle taxi in any case, track construction can complement or serve as an alternative to expensive feeder road improvement or construction.
