Social exclusion and transport in the UK: A role for virtual accessibility in the alleviation of mobility-related social exclusion?
No full textThis paper reports findings from research into the possibility that mobility-related social exclusion could be affected by an increase in access to virtual mobility - access to opportunities, services and social networks, via the Internet - amongst populations that experience exclusion. Transport is starting to be recognised as a key component of social policy, particularly in light of a number of recent studies, which have highlighted the link between transport and social exclusion, suggesting that low access to mobility can reduce the opportunity to participate in society - a finding with which this research concurs. Following the identification of this causal link, the majority of studies suggest that an increase in access to adequate physical mobility can provide a viable solution to mobility-related aspects of social exclusion. This paper questions the likelihood that increased physical mobility can, by itself, provide a fully viable or sustainable solution to mobility-related aspects of social exclusion. Findings from both a desk study and public consultation suggest that virtual mobility is already fulfilling an accessibility role, both substituting for and supplementing physical mobility, working to alleviate some aspects of mobility-related social exclusion in some sectors of society. The paper incorporates an analysis of the barriers to and problems with an increase in virtual mobility in society, and concludes that virtual mobility could be a valuable tool in both social and transport policy
Evaluating the usability of intranet based travel information in the workplace
No full textInfluencing modal choice via Internet based travel information has been considered by a number of interested parties. Information of this kind is an important aspect of the decision making process, relating to travel choices. However, the lack of substantive research into how this information should be presented to the user will clearly affect the probabilities of the medium's ability to affect modal choice. This paper reports the findings of a research project looking into the usability of Internet based travel information on organizational intranets. The paper discusses current Internet use and travel information in the UK, evaluation methodology and presents results and recommendations to improve the effectiveness of travel information web sites<br/
Transport and social exclusion: investigating the possibility of promoting inclusion through virtual mobility
Full text linkThis paper introduces a mobility dimension to social exclusion, suggesting a strong correlation between a lack of access to adequate mobility and lack of access to opportunities, social networks, goods and services. This correlation exists as both a cause and consequence of social exclusion. The authors question the likelihood that increased physical mobility, by car or public transport, can, by itself, provide a fully viable or sustainable solution to mobility-related aspects of social exclusion. This paper cautiously suggests that the use of information and communications technologies could enable a new, virtual mobility, enabling an Internet-based increase in accessibility as an alternative to an increase in physical mobility. Finally, consideration is given to the possibility of a virtual mobility-related dimension of exclusion and to the possible social implications of inclusion of virtual mobility in an integrated transport strategy
