Summary on Grant Application Form
Recommendations, concepts, and proposals for sustainable lifestyles have frequently been made without reference to the preferences of and wealth constraints applying to consumer. Moreover, research on this issue generally employs a sectoral approach, ignoring the linkages between different sectors of the economy. Sustainable planning required that any appraisal of effectivness encompasses interaction between sectors as reflections of the expressed choices of consumers (eg. residential location, house type/design, shopping/work locations, and travel behaviour), the physical constraints imposed by technology or site conditions, the constraints imposed by the intensity of human interaction and those imposed by the intertia inherent in long lasting features of the built environment.The proposed research aims to develop planning tools which consider urban density and the implications of density for the urban design, the degree og penetration sustainable for alternative transport options and the development of disaggregate techniques to enhance the behavioural sensitivity of a range if disparate aggregate planning tools. A key feature if the research will be the focus on consumer response at a household level through use of stated preference techniques. The research will provide a simplified and cost effective technique for projecting future location patterbs under a range of policy scenarios.
