Social Impacts and Social Equity Issues in Transport Workshop Series

在当今城市、城镇和农村地区面临的当代交通挑战中，社会问题很重要。然而，与经济和环境等交通政策实施的其他方面相比，交通研究人员对它们的研究要少得多。与此同时，一系列社会科学学科的学者已经参与了许多研究，这些研究考虑了交通运输的社会影响和社会公平问题，但这项工作在交通政策领域的开展有限，在交通运输部门之外几乎不存在。因此，本主题下的优先事项是通过举办一系列相关的研究实践活动，揭示和综合这种多样性的工作，并考虑其对当代政策和实践的适用性。每一个项目都将有不同的重点，由不同的机构领导，由牛津大学的卢卡斯博士和伦敦政治经济学院的安妮·鲍尔教授共同监督和起草。该系列的总体目标是促进跨学科合作和能力建设，以更好地装备研究人员、政策制定者和实践者，以解决英国现在和未来交通领域的社会挑战。它将借鉴国内外广泛学科的最新研究和最佳实践，以确定知识方面的差距以及解决这些差距的适当方法和证据基础。该活动将通过一系列主题活动，探讨交通运输、社会公平和交通运输的社会影响的各种理论、政策和实践方面。这将有助于对这一问题采取基础广泛的办法，并利用以前没有参与本次辩论的非运输专业人员的能力和技能，为这一问题带来不同的观点、知识和经验。通过这种方式，我们将能够建立一个跨学科的感兴趣的人的网络，能够就政策问题提供建议并参与该领域的未来研究。

Social issues are important in the contemporary transport challenges facing in our cities, towns and rural areas today. However, they have been much less studied by transport researchers than other aspects of transport policy delivery, such as the economy and the environment. Meanwhile, academics across a range of social sciences disciplines have been involved in numerous research studies which consdier social impacts and social equity issues in transport, but the take up of this work has been limited in transport policy circles and has been virtually non-existent outside of the transport sector. Hence the priority under this theme is to expose and synthesise this diversity of work, and consider its applicability to contemporary policy and practice, by holding a series of linked Research into Practice events. Each one will have a different focus and be led by a different institution, with the exercise being overseen and drawn together by Dr Lucas at Oxford University in collaboration with Professor Anne Power at the LSE.The overall aim of the series is to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and capacity building to better equip researchers, policymakers and practitioners to address the social challenges in transport now and in the future within the UK context. It will draw on state-of-the-art research and best practices across a wide range of disciplines both here and abroad, to identify gaps in knowledge and the appropriate methodologies and evidence base for addressing these.The exercise will explore various theoretical, policy and practical aspects of transport, social equity and social impacts of transport through a number of themed events. This will facilitate a broad-based approach to the subject and draw on the capacity and skills of non-transport professionals who have not previously contributed to this debate to bring their different perspectives, knowledge and experience to the subject. In this way, we will be able to generate a network of interested people across the disciplines, capable of advising on policy issues and participating in future research in this area.
