项目摘要

This research seeks to examine ways in which more people might be encouraged to walk and cycle in the future, what steps are needed to support this potential increase in walking and cycling and how to improve the experience for those who already use these modes. Walking and cycling can make a considerable contribution to sustainable transport goals, building healthier and more sociable communities and contributing to traffic reduction and lower carbon emissions. The amount of walking and cycling in Britain has declined over the long term and research suggests that there are major obstacles to prevent people from using these modes. There have been many national and local initiatives to promote walking and cycling but without a long term vision and consistent strategy it is difficult to see how a significant change may be achieved. The time is now right to examine the means by which such a fundamental change both in the quantity of walking and cycling, and in the quality of the experience can be achieved, which goes well beyond continuation of existing trends. The project will be led by ITS at Leeds University in collaboration with partners from the Universities of Oxford, Salford, East Anglia and Manchester, who between them bring a diverse range of skills to the work. We will also draw extensively on a range of stakeholder groups such as central government departments, walking and cycling organisations, city and local authorities, from whom we have already received a number of letters in support of this application. The work will involve a series of expert workshops to develop visions of alternative futures and also draw in various ways on the experiences of different user groups of the public to ensure that the visions developed are grounded in real experiences. The workshops and other participation events will be used to establish trend breaking views of the future and the key attributes of future conditions which will generate these visions. We will undertake impact assessments to consider the likely costs and benefits of these visions and the potential effects on a persons' lifestyle. The work will develop and use innovative methodologies using visualisation software to help users understand how futures might appear, using modelling techniques which examine narrative and storylines to understand how different futures might be attained, and using a range of social research methods to explore how different futures might affect individual lifestyles and society. We will offer people a range of tools that enable them to construct their own versions of the future, and to weave their own stories in and out of expert visions, thus opening up the possibility of a richer and expanded public engagement with the visioning process. This permits a shift from the narrow focus of people's current day decision-making and behavioural and lifestyle choices to a greater focus on the process through which people make decisions and the contextual factors which inform how people choose to live their everyday lives. The value of this project, and the innovative methodologies it adopts, such as the new approach to modelling, is that in this way it opens up the possibilities of a greater understanding of how walking and cycling could change in the future.We recognise that the project brings substantive research challenges and risk. However, the combination of proposed innovatory research methods and tools, and the expertise of the collaborative project team, including the extensive involvement of experts and the public, will realise new ideas and possibilities which will be of direct use in both national and local strategies within the UK. The tools developed from this research will continue to be of practical use to the user community after the end of the project and we will explore the potential to make these tools web based where they could be used by policy makers and stakeholders as a basis for future planning exercises.

这项研究旨在研究如何鼓励更多的人在未来步行和骑自行车，需要采取哪些措施来支持这种步行和骑自行车的潜在增长，以及如何改善那些已经使用这些模式的人的体验。步行和骑自行车可以为可持续交通目标做出相当大的贡献，建立更健康，更适合社交的社区，并有助于减少交通和降低碳排放。长期以来，英国的步行和骑自行车的数量一直在下降，研究表明，有重大障碍阻止人们使用这些模式。有许多国家和地方的倡议，以促进步行和骑自行车，但没有一个长期的愿景和一致的战略，很难看到如何实现重大变化。现在是时候研究如何在步行和骑自行车的数量以及体验的质量上实现这种根本性的变化，这远远超出了现有趋势的延续。该项目将由利兹大学的ITS领导，并与来自牛津大学、索尔福德大学、东安格利亚大学和曼彻斯特大学的合作伙伴合作，他们为这项工作带来了各种技能。我们还将广泛利用一系列利益相关者团体，如中央政府部门，步行和自行车组织，城市和地方当局，我们已经收到了一些支持这一申请的信件。这项工作将包括举办一系列专家讲习班，以形成对替代未来的设想，并以各种方式借鉴公众中不同用户群体的经验，以确保所形成的设想以真实的经验为基础。讲习班和其他参与活动将用于建立对未来的趋势突破观点以及产生这些愿景的未来条件的关键属性。我们将进行影响评估，以考虑这些愿景的可能成本和收益以及对人们生活方式的潜在影响。这项工作将开发和使用创新的方法，使用可视化软件来帮助用户了解未来可能出现的方式，使用建模技术来研究叙事和故事情节，以了解如何实现不同的未来，并使用一系列社会研究方法来探索不同的未来如何影响个人的生活方式和社会。我们将为人们提供一系列工具，使他们能够构建自己的未来版本，并在专家的愿景中编织自己的故事，从而为更丰富和更广泛的公众参与愿景过程提供可能性。这使得人们能够从狭隘地关注人们当前的决策以及行为和生活方式选择，转向更加关注人们做出决策的过程以及告知人们如何选择日常生活的背景因素。这个项目的价值，以及它所采用的创新方法，如新的建模方法，是通过这种方式，它开辟了更好地理解步行和骑自行车在未来可能发生的变化的可能性。我们认识到，这个项目带来了实质性的研究挑战和风险。然而，拟议的创新研究方法和工具，以及合作项目团队的专业知识，包括专家和公众的广泛参与相结合，将实现新的想法和可能性，这将直接用于英国的国家和地方战略。在项目结束后，从这项研究中开发的工具将继续对用户社区有实际用途，我们将探索使这些工具基于网络的潜力，供决策者和利益攸关方作为未来规划工作的基础。
