许多城市和交通政策都是基于一系列与理性决策所告知的预定行程有关的假设。例如,城市行人政策的主要焦点是建筑环境如何对一个人的步行决定产生主要影响,这些决定是在特定的时间和地点做出的,在某种程度上是在步行实践之外。很少有人注意到步行本身的过程性和经验性维度的重要性。本文考虑了进入和穿过城市的旅行方式。特别注意的是,习惯性的表现形式,如实践知识和具体的习惯和惯例,有助于参与日常的城市运动。在伦敦进行的深入研究的背景下,本文探讨了城市步行交通的习惯和惯例,如日常通勤,并在这样做,突出了这些旅程的复杂性和持续的重新配置,超出了“理性”意图的分析。许多交通研究认为习惯是一种外力,以某种方式阻碍了更积极的可持续出行行为,与此相反,讨论的重点是日常城市步行如何展开的重要性。有人认为,这种形式的参与使人们有可能理解习惯的位置和一部分,依次组织和徒步旅行的性能。这反过来又使习惯行为的变革潜力得以实现。在整个文件中,考虑到日常城市流动的具体叙述;这些做法实际上是如何“谈论”的意义;以及这些帐户如何与城市运动的经验层面参与的事项。
Much urban and transport policy is based on a series of assumptions relating to predefined journeys informed by rational decision making. For example, the dominant focus of urban pedestrian policy is how the built environment is the primary influence on a person's decision to walk, with these decisions being made at a specific time and place somehow outside the practice of walking. Little attention is given to the importance of the processual and experiential dimensions of walking itself. This paper considers the ways in which journeys into, and through, the city unfold. Specific attention is drawn to how forms of habitual performance, such as practical knowledge and embodied habits and routines, assist in engaging with everyday urban movements. In the context of in-depth research conducted in London, the paper explores the habits and routines of urban pedestrian mobilities such as the daily commute, and in so doing, highlights the complexity and ongoing reconfiguration of these journeys beyond analysis informed by ‘rational’ intention. In contrast to much transport research that conceives of habit as an external force that somehow obstructs more positive sustainable travel behaviour, discussion focuses on the significance of how everyday urban walking unfolds. It is argued that this form of engagement makes it possible to understand habit as situated and part and parcel of the sequentially organised and occasioned performance of journeys on foot. This, in turn, enables the transformative potential of habitual behaviour to be realised. Throughout the paper consideration is given to specific narratives of everyday urban mobilities; the significance of how such practices are actually ‘talked about’; and how these accounts matter in engaging with the experiential dimensions of urban movement.
