Book Description

ISBN-10: 0080423906 | ISBN-13: 978-0080423906 | Publication Date: December 1, 1996 | Edition: 1

Travel behaviour research has a pivotal role to play in informing the current worldwide debate over the degree to which the growth in personal travel, notably by private motor vehicle, should be encouraged or controlled. At stake are complex public interests concerning air quality, energy, lifestyle, economic development and the built environment. This international collection of papers on current methodological and substantive findings from the analysis of personal travel is written by leading travel behaviour researchers from the social and engineering sciences. It is organised in four sections: traveller activity and perception; stated preference methods; dynamic behaviour; and improvement of behavioural travel models.

Editorial Reviews

Review

S.A. Schulman, CUNY Kings-borough Community College.
...a mix of methodological models and their practical applications that draws heavily on research conducted for, and in, the transportation sector. Contributions extend the use of these models and their applications to a broader tourism context. This provocative, Eurocentric analysis shows just how far behavioral research has developed since Maslow (who is still often cited in tourism analysis). An excellent graduate-level resource for tourism or service marketing; also usfeful to research oriented tourism professionals.

This skillfully edited volume...reflects the excitement and enthusiasm for innovation still experienced within the field today...a worthy addition to the key literature of travel behavior analysis. The chapters in the volume were written by well-known researchers in the field, and offer a rich blend of perspectives from varied countries, backgrounds and disciplines. The book is an informative reference for experienced researchers, an important source of information for people who are new to the field, and a useful resource for advanced students. The value of the book is considerably enhanced by its review chapters.

This review is from: Understanding Travel Behaviour in an Era of Change (Hardcover)

I would like to review this transaction. This transaction was the change of the first transaction, as the first transaction was not successful with the reason out of stock and difficulty to contact the seller.

So, with the feeling of not so happy, I made another transaction, and this was the transaction.
Fortunately, this transaction was working well, so it could fullfil my transaction.

finally, thank you for the service.
