Synopsis

The IATBR conference proceedings series has a history of over 30 years and is widely read by researchers, practitioners and graduate students in the field of transportation and urban planning in general, and in travel behaviour analysis in particular. It is the only series of conference proceedings that comprehensively reviews, synthesizes, and identifies research needs and future research directions for the respective sub areas of the travel behaviour research field and presents up-to-date, state-of-the-art assessments by distinguished authors. This volume of the 11th International Conference on Travel Behaviour Research, held in Kyoto, Japan, in August 2006, examines key issues and emerging trends in the expanding field of travel behaviour. These proceedings contain: the keynote speeches of Professor John Urry of Lancaster University (sociology) and Professor Masahisa Fujita of (then) Kyoto University (economics); workshop resource papers by distinguished authors in nine subject areas; synthesis papers (with a focus on Asian developments); and 16 research papers selected from presentation sessions. All papers, including the workshop reports, were reviewed by at least two referees.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Travel behaviour manifests as the resolution of internal needs and desires with the rapidly changing external travel environment. This volume of the 11th International Conference on Travel Behaviour Research examines key issues in this expanding field, and emerging trends in travel behaviour resulting from these changes. This is one in a series of IATBR conference proceedings that comprehensively reviews, synthesizes, and offers future directions for the respective subareas of the travel behaviour research field. We hope this book will be used by many researchers, practitioners and students.
