Public Participation in Transport in Times of Change
Public Participation in Transport in Times of Change discusses various forms of public participation in connection to sustainable mobility, transport planning, policy, health, infrastructure, and active travel, creating a comprehensive analysis relevant for both practitioners and researchers who operate within the transport field.
Handbook of Research Methods and Applications for Mobilities
Reflecting the variety and diversity of mobile methods and their applications, this comprehensive Handbook illuminates the multiple dimensions and transdisciplinary nature of mobilities research, from transport to tourism, cargo to information as well as physical, virtual and imaginative mobilities. It brings together key contributions on the state of the art of qualitative and quantitative research, multimethod combinations and co-creation methods within the mobilities paradigm.
Shaping Smart Mobility Futures
Bringing together scholars from multiple fields, and using the results from a number of research projects, this book takes the discussion one step further by exploring the policy instruments available and needed for the governance of smart mobility.
Social Perspectives on Mobility
Globalisation is heavily dependent on physical transport, as people and goods travel over longer distances and with higher frequency. Movement and mobility have become integrated parts of late modern identity and practice, and a state of flux can be sensed everywhere. Bringing together the latest interdisciplinary theoretical approaches with empirical case studies analysing and appraising innovative policies from Scandinavia, this volume demonstrates that mobility research is a key issue within social enquiry. It addresses three broad themes. Firstly, mobility as a constructed social reality, examining how individuals construct notions of mobility in their everyday life and practice. Secondly, mobility as spatial co-ordination and transgression, and finally, mobility as a policy theme, where the contributors explore recent developments in transport policy at national and European levels, suggesting ways forward for both research and policy. In the final section of the book new visions for research into sustainability and mobility are laid out.
European Cities in Competition
Derived from the brief of a Working Group of the European Science Foundation, this book is concerned with societal response. This is interpreted, in a limited way, as the actions of and through the local or regional administrations. It brings the discussion into the realm of public sector initiatives.
Gender Smart Mobility
This book presents gender and diversity in smart transport as a cutting-edge issue in urban contexts around the globe. It addresses new challenges and possibilities related to the smart transport sector. It demonstrates how gender and diversity are entangled in concepts and various forms of current smart mobility practices in policy, planning, and innovation. Gender Smart Mobility is presented as a game changer for future transport planning and mobility practices and how smart mobility technologies and practices might be created as a common good for all. The readers are presented with fresh approaches ranging from intersectional and visual analysis of smart mobility, gender scripts and langu...
The role of indicators in decisions of technology innovation
There are thousands of indicators produced to understand and govern our societies. Studies about the way indicators are used in technological innovation are significantly rare, despite the centrality of these decisions to promote growth in our technology-intensive civilization. This book presents what is known and what was discovered in a doctoral research, which analysed innovative business leaders, policymakers and public researchers responsible for technological innovations.
Oxford Handbook of Digital Ethics
"The Oxford Handbook of Digital Ethics is a lively and authoritative guide to ethical issues related to digital technologies, with a special emphasis on AI. Philosophers with a wide range of expertise cover thirty-seven topics: from the right to have access to internet, to trolling and online shaming, speech on social media, fake news, sex robots and dating online, persuasive technology, value alignment, algorithmic bias, predictive policing, price discrimination online, medical AI, privacy and surveillance, automating democracy, the future of work, and AI and existential risk, among others. Each chapter gives a rigorous map of the ethical terrain, engaging critically with the most notable work in the area, and pointing directions for future research"--
Policy Integration in Practice
"This book explores the necessary conditions for policy integration to occur, the importance of policy integration in practice, the experiences of policy-makers with policy integration and the mechanisms or tools that may help to promote more integrated policy. Attention is particularly directed at the urban-region level." "The book aims to provide the reader with a general understanding of the issue of policy integration as well as a detailed understanding of the issue of policy integration in Denmark, England and Germany. It is one of the few available texts concerning policy integration, certainly in relation to the integration of land use planning, transport and environment policy. It provides a source of information for anyone involved in intersectoral policy-making or anyone studying or teaching courses such as urban and regional planning, transport studies, environmental science and public policy."--BOOK JACKET.
