汽车通勤对碳排放做出了重要贡献,但事实证明,它顽固地抵制模式转换政策倡议。在这篇文章中,我们使用社会实践的理论来深入了解为什么这种顽固可能存在,以及什么可能有助于加速向公交车和自行车通勤的过渡。通过分析英国两个城市日常机动性的定性数据,我们考察了公共汽车和自行车通勤实践的构成要素的可用性如何对模式转换的发生至关重要,但它们往往是缺失的。我们还提请注意使低碳通勤实践或多或少有可能被招募的时空偶然性,包括通勤如何与其他社会实践排序,以及这些实践的地点如何与公交车和自行车通勤的负担能力和空间基础设施相互作用。这些见解使我们认为,旨在引发模式转变的选择和土地利用规划重点政策举措需要与旨在重塑机动性和非机动性实践的举措共存于综合政策配置中。这意味着解决缺乏公共汽车和自行车通勤要素造成的结构性障碍,并干预一系列社会实践的时间和空间,以减少通勤具有不利于使用公共汽车和自行车模式的空间和时间特征的趋势。(C)2015年提交人。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。这是一篇在CC by License(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).下的开放获取文章
The automobile commute makes an important contribution to carbon emissions but has proven stubbornly resistant to modal shift policy initiatives. In this paper we use theories of social practice to develop insights into why this stubbornness might exist, and what might help accelerate transitions to bus- and cycle-commuting. By analyzing qualitative data about everyday mobility in two UK cities, we examine how the availability of the constituent elements of bus- and cycle-commuting practices is crucial for modal shift to occur, but they are often absent. We also draw attention to time-space contingencies that render recruitment to low-carbon commuting practices more or less likely, including how commuting is sequenced with other social practices and how the sites of these practices interact with the affordances, and spatial infrastructure, of bus- and cycle-commuting. These insights lead us to argue that choice and land use planning focussed policy initiatives designed to invoke modal shift need to coexist in integrated policy configurations with initiatives designed to reshape both mobility and non-mobility practices. This means addressing the structural barriers caused by the lack of availability of the elements that constitute bus- and cycle-commuting, and intervening in the timing and spatiality of a range of social practices so as to reduce the tendency for commutes to have spatial and temporal characteristics that militate against the use of bus and cycle modes.
