Dear Sir / Madam:
My name is Fatima Elaiab. I am a Masters research student in the Department
of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, Trinity College Dublin.
My supervisor is Dr. Aoife Ahern from the Transport Study and Research
Group.
In my research, I am looking at the stages involved in creating a transport
strategy for a city by examining the transport strategies that have been
developed in the UK and Ireland. My objective is to determine how cities in
the developing world and in particular how my home city, Tripoli, may learn
from and improve upon the transport strategies of the UK and Ireland. In
order to achieve this I have constructed this questionnaire. I would be
very grateful if you could complete the attached questionnaire and return
to me.
Yours sincerely,
Fatima.
Note_ There is two type of the Quesionnaire
A. To the Transport Organization.
B. To Transport groups (Drs, students,..)
Questionnaire A:
[Transport Questionnaire]
Please answer the following questions from your experience, if you know any
one who is interested, feel free to send a copy to him/her.
Thank you
1.Institutional framework:
Q1, Does your city have a transport strategy? If so, how often is it
reviewed?
Q2,
A/ What powers were available to the transport authorities who developed
the strategy?
B/ Can the transport authorities coerce bodies to implement the strategy?
Q3,What organisations were involved in the strategy design and
implementation?
Q4, What problems did you face in designing and implementing your strategy?
Q5, What funding was provided and how this managed?
Q6, Where was the funding sourced from?
Any other Comments:
2.Integration of transport’s modes:
Q1. How well are the different modes currently integrated?
Q2, What plans for public transport development are incorporated into the
strategy?
Q3, Who did the size of the city determine the modes recommend in the
strategy?
Q4, By looking at cost of the different modes, what was the most expensive
mode to build in this city?
3.Strategy Development:
Q1, What are the first and the most important steps in developing any
transport strategy?
Q2, What was the role of the modelling techniques in developing the
transport strategy?
Q3, What studies were required in developing the transport strategy?
Q4, What dada was needed to develop the transport strategy for the city?
Q5, What measures are included in the strategy?
4. From your experience, if you have asked to plan a strategy for a
developing city, and you have given the following issues, what would be the
five most important issues to be considered?
