自从 60 多年前首次记录使用以来，日记研究在交通研究领域变得越来越受欢迎，不仅可以收集有关旅行模式的数据，还可以收集有关旅行的完整背景的数据。然而，很少有记录人们使用新技术，特别是互联网的情况。本文讨论了一种方法，即无障碍日记，就是为此而设计的。该论文重点关注参与者的可用性和研究人员的实用性，全面描述了日记设计，并参考焦点小组、访谈和问卷数据以及分析中的经验教训评估其有效性。本文最后考虑了交通研究人员面临的困境：希望收集更复杂的信息以促进理解，与需要开发易于使用的方法，以最大限度地提高数据质量和响应率。 (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Diary studies have become increasingly popular in the field of transport research since their first recorded use just over 60 years ago, allowing collection of data not only on patterns of travel, but also on the full context for travel. However, few have incorporated recording of people's use of new technologies, specifically, the Internet. This paper discusses a methodology, the accessibility diary, designed so to do. With a focus upon usability for participants and utility for researchers, the paper describes the diary design in full, assessing its efficacy with reference to focus group, interview and questionnaire data, alongside lessons from the analysis. The paper concludes with a consideration of the dilemma facing transport researchers: the wish to collect ever more complex information to advance understanding versus the need to develop methodologies that are simple to use, to maximise data quality and response rates.
