信息和通信技术(ICT)正在渗透到现代生活方式中,塑造和影响着活动和旅行事业。这篇文章报道了一项定性的日记和访谈研究,探索了18-28岁的学生和兼职母亲使用信息通信技术的方式。研究参与者是根据“非正式专家”的身份挑选出来的,这反映了他们对信息和通信技术的亲和力。通过对采访结果的探索,可以清楚地看到,相对较新的技术设备和应用程序已经迅速嵌入到参与者的日常旅行和交流中。个人一级的社会实践的变化并不明显,但与此同时,有证据表明,《公约》对他们的日常生活产生了累积的影响。技术使参与者能够更好地适应活动和旅行计划中的不确定性,同时也有助于活动的时空协调。它们还允许在时间和空间上玩弄生活角色,导致活动明显碎片化。文章反思了信息和通信技术对日常生活的影响所产生的旅行行为后果。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Information and communications technologies (ICTs) are permeating modern lifestyles, shaping and colouring the undertaking of activities and travel. This article reports on a qualitative diary and interview study that explored the ways in which ICTs are being used by students aged 18-28 and part-time working mums. Study participants were selected on the basis of being 'informal experts' - reflecting their affinity for engagement with ICTs. Through an exploration of the interview findings, it becomes clear that relatively new technological devices and applications have quickly become embedded into the participants' everyday travel and communications. Changes in social practice at the level of the individuals are not visibly dramatic, but at the same time, there is evidence of a cumulative influence of ICrs on their daily lives. Technologies are enabling the participants to better accommodate the uncertainties in activity and travel scheduling and yet also contributing to a 'fluidity' in time-space co-ordination of activities. They are also allowing the juggling of life roles in time and space leading to apparent fragmenting of activities. The article reflects upon the travel behaviour consequences of ICTs in their influence on everyday life. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
