Future Urban Sustainable Mobility: Using ‘Area Develop ment Negotiations’ for Scenario Assessment and for Assisting the Democratic Policy Proces
Year: 2003
Type: article
Abstract: An examination of how land-use planning, conceptualised as a long-range travel demand management (TDM) measure, can proceed while simultaneously emphasising sustainability in transport objectives is presented. Given the time scale of such a TDM measure it is vital that citizen preferences are assessed. The Area Development Negotiation method for obtaining such preferences within a case study framework is detailed. The method permits evaluations by various interest groups of future urban mobility scenarios, which have been developed among scientists and case agents, using multiattribute utility analyses. In order to illustrate the method key results from a Swedish case study are presented demonstrating that all interest groups with the exception of business representatives had an awareness of the importance of environmental factors and that these factors were given greater weight than economic factors. Discussion focuses upon issues relevant to policy analysis and the democratic process such as how the method can support the policy process and the potential for meaningfully engaging the citizen in the democratic policy process.
