The social dimension in transportation assessment

Abstract

This book begins by describing and pointing out the inadequacies in the evaluative frame of reference adopted by transportation planners on both sides of the Atlantic which has led to the expenditure of vast sums of money without the proper assessment of social implications, thus creating enormous problems. Potential sources and the generation of social information are then discussed, and some specific British and Canadian transport studies are compared. The final section of the book discusses the decision making implications of social information generation, as well as some further data sources for social assessment. (Author/TRRL)
