Dear UTSG members,
I am putting together a special issue of the journal "World Transport Policy and Practice" on the theme of transport, accessibility, mobility and the elderly.
The contents will include the following:
The transport needs of older people
Travel behaviour and the elderly
Walking, cycling and public transport use in this group
Car use in this group especially car use by the over 80 years age group
The links between accessibility and mobility for this group
The links between physical activity (walking and cycling) and maintaining a long healthy life
Travel needs of older people in developing countries
Poverty, age and mobility
Parkinson's disease and the continuation of a healthy, involved life style
Older people and community vitality: the great under-utilised resource
Disabled /differently abled people and transport needs
The emphasis will be on real insights into this group of transport users based on original research and on evaluations of practical policy initiatives to address the needs of this group.
All papers will be refereed.
If you would like to submit a paper please let me have a title, author details and 50-100 word abstract.
The paper itself would be needed by 15th September this year.
Very best wishes
John Whitelegg
