Anyone interested in the auto industry should read it - much recommended.' - David Bailey, Coventry University, UK 'What the global automotive industry needs right now is ideas and this book is packed with them. Dr Wells is a master of turning a topic on its head in order to approach it from an angle that is both unique and enlightening. This book should be required reading for decision makers within the automakers, suppliers and governments, whose job it will be to shape the auto industry of tomorrow.' - Gareth Owen Davies, AutomotiveWorld.com The Automotive Industry in an Era of Eco-Austerity analyses the future prospects of the largest manufacturing sector in the world, the automotive industry, at a time of unprecedented global financial crisis and unrelenting environmental pressure.  This unique book seeks to combine economic analysis with the environmental research to arrive at a comprehensive understanding of the forces that shape change in

Cycling Data The collection of data on the number of bicycles per household, number of bicycle journeys and the nature of those journeys helps to inform transport policy and practice.

It shows that in large and small "rural cores" of 2,500 to 50,000 residents, the share of total trips made on foot or by bike is only 20 percent below the rate for larger urban cores. Furthermore, when it comes to work trips, rural areas fall right in line with the national rates of biking and walking to work.

Councils responding to the survey spent more than $72 million on bicycle-related programs in 2009-10. More than two thirds of responding councils either have a bicycle strategy or are working towards one. As at June 2010, councils responding to the survey reported having constructed 11,704km of cycling infrastructure. When their cycle networks are complete the infrastructure will measure 17,842km.

Travel habits need to change! The Greater Christchurch Travel Demand Management Strategy (GC TDMS) has been developed to manage increasing traffic growth, by encouraging people to make the most of the existing transport network and increase the use of walking, cycling, public transport and car pooling. Traffic growth is forecast to increase by 27% by 2026 leading to more congestion, longer travel times, greater travel costs and more pollution. Travel demand management (TDM) is about encouraging people to travel differently, by walking, cycling, using public transport and car pooling. TDM does not require people to completely stop using their cars. If every household in Greater Christchurch made one fewer trip by car each week this would stop traffic growth. The Urban Development Strategy (UDS) partners, (Christchurch City Council, Waimakariri and Selwyn District Council, Environment Canterbury and the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA)) have jointly developed the strategy and action plan. The Strategy and Action plan was accepted by the UDS Implementation Committee (UDSIC) in June 2009. To ensure consistency amongst the partners the UDSIC recommended that each council adopt the Strategy and Action Plan. The Christchurch City Council did this in July 2009. Changing the way preople travel will take time, and the actions in the strategy will coincide with infrastructure improvements, including public transport, cycling and walking facilities. Walking and cycling are easy forms of exercise that can be part of everyday life - and can help keep people healthy. To find out more read these documents

WHO/Europe Health Economic Assessment Tool (HEAT). This tool is designed to help you conduct an economic assessment of the health benefits of walking or cycling by estimating the value of reduced mortality that results from specified amounts of walking or cycling. The tool can be used in a number of different situations, for example: when planning a new piece of cycling or walking infrastructure. HEAT attaches a value to the estimated level of cycling or walking when the new infrastructure is in place. This can be compared to the costs of implementing different interventions to produce a benefit-cost ratio (and help to make the case for investment) to value the reduced mortality from past and/or current levels of cycling or walking, such as to a specific workplace, across a city or in a country. It can also be used to illustrate economic consequences from a potential future change in levels of cycling or walking. to provide input into more comprehensive economic appraisal exercises, or prospective health impact assessments. For example, to estimate the mortality benefits from achieving targets to increase cycling or walking, or from the results of an intervention project.

Spotlight on Pedestrian Safety by Tamara Redmon, Dan Gelinne, Leah Walton, and Jeff Miller FHWA's aggressive approach to reducing the fatality rate in 13 States and 5 municipalities is showing promising results. Focus cities have installed high-visibility crosswalks, such as this one in Montclair, NJ, in a number of locations to improve pedestrian safety. For the past 7.5 years, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has been trying to aggressively reduce pedestrian deaths by focusing extra resources on the States and cities with the highest numbers or rates of pedestrian fatalities. In recent years, 13 States experienced pedestrian fatalities above 150 per year and above the national rate of 2.5 per 100,000 population. In 2003 those States were Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas. An increase in Nevada's rate later added it to the list, while Michigan dropped off in 2007. In addition, five cities had the highest number of fatalities per year: Chicago, IL; Detroit, MI; Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; and Phoenix, AZ. Washington, DC, later went on the list, and Detroit dropped off (only to rejoin in 2011). To address this challenge, FHWA's Focused Approach to Pedestrian Safety project began with a memorandum dated May 2004 outlining the goal of reducing pedestrian fatalities by 10 percent by the year 2008 (goal later changed to 2011). To address this performance goal, FHWA encouraged the affected States and cities to develop and implement pedestrian safety action plans. A previous article in Public Roads documented the early implementation of the Focused Approach to Pedestrian Safety (see "In Step With Safety" in the September/October 2006 issue). "The focused approach to pedestrian safety has changed the way road owners and operators view pedestrians," says Elizabeth Alicandri, FHWA director of the Office of Safety Programs. "One of the reasons it has bee

Collaborative consumption From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The term collaborative consumption is used to describe an economic model based on sharing, swapping, bartering, trading or renting access to products as opposed to ownership.[1] Technology and peer communities are enabling these old market behaviours to be reinvented in ways and on a scale never possible before.[2] From enormous marketplaces such as eBay and Craigslist, to peer-to-peer marketplaces such as Tradepal, emerging sectors such as social lending (Zopa), peer-to-peer travel (CouchSurfing, Airbnb), peer-to-peer experiences (GuideHop), event ticket sharing ([[unseat.me]]) and car sharing (Zipcar or peer-to-peer RelayRides), Collaborative Consumption is disrupting outdated modes of business and reinventing not just what people consume but how they consume it.[3] Contents  [hide]  1 Origin 2 The development of collaborative consumption 2.1 Product service systems 2.2 Redistribution markets 2.3 Collaborative lifestyles 3 Sectors currently covered by collaborative consumption 4 Category examples 5 See also 6 References [edit]Origin The term was coined by Ray Algar, a UK-based management in an article entitled 'Collaborative Consumption article by Ray Algar' for the Leisure Report Journal in 2007. The concept has since been championed by Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers, co-authors of "What's Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption".[4] In June 2010, ABC Television's Big Ideas programme included a segment showing Botsman's speech at the TEDx Sydney conference in 2010, describing collaborative consumption as "a new socio-economic 'big idea' promising a revolution in the way we consume".[5] Botsman sees collaborative consumption as a social revolution that allows people to "create value out of shared and open resources in ways that balance personal self-interest with the good of the larger community".[6] In 2010, collaborative consumption was named one of TIME Magazine's 10 ideas that w

10 Websites for Collaborative Consumption By Yuka Yoneda (from Inhabitat) on May 19, 2011 7 Comments What if you could score a bunch of cool new stuff for free while simultaneously getting rid of all your unwanted goods just by visiting a website? Well, that's exactly the idea behind collaborative consumption, which is just a fancy way of describing a system where people share, swap or trade their clothes, books, services, etc. instead of purchasing them. The idea isn't new, but it's coming back in a big way, especially as we realize how much smarter and more sustainable it is compared to continuously producing more and more stuff. If you want to get started participating in collaborative consumption, check out our list of top websites that let you shop for things you need by sharing resources, or paying with things you already own instead of cash. SwapStyle  Fashion is fleeting, but that doesn't mean you have to be its slave. SwapStyle is a website that lets you game the system that tells us that wearing the same thing twice is a faux pas by enabling you to trade your unwanted garments with similarly chic fashionistas. We all know that producing clothing is energy and material intensive, so swapping your style definitely combats the cycle of throwaway fashion, and no one has to be the wiser!  Wedding Dress Market Every girl dreams of a fairy tale wedding with that perfect dress, but most of us don't have a Prince as our grooms! Rent the Market knows this, and lets brides looking for pricey Vera Wangs and other famous designers rent or buy used gowns at a fraction of their retail prices. Former brides that want to make more room in their closets and put a little extra cash in their pockets can also sell their dresses on the site, so it's a win-win for everyone. I-ELLA Spending half a month's salary on a single dress may sound crazy to some, but for some designer clothing junkies, it's not so far-fetched. The good news is that you can get your brand name

The Movement TIME names Collaborative Consumption as one of the "10 Ideas That Will Change The World". Collaborative Consumption describes the rapid explosion in traditional sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping reinvented through network technologies on a scale and in ways never possible before. Watch the video. From enormous marketplaces such as eBay and Craigslist, to emerging sectors such as social lending (Zopa), peer-to-peer travel (Airbnb) and car sharing (Zipcar or peer-to-peer RelayRides), Collaborative Consumption is disrupting outdated modes of business and reinventing not just what we consume but how we consume. New marketplaces such as TaskRabbit, ParkatmyHouse, Zimride, Swap.com, Zilok, Bartercard and thredUP are enabling "peer-to-peer" to become the default way people exchange - whether it's unused space, goods, skills, money, or services - and sites like these are appearing everyday, all over the world. For a list of some of the hottest start-ups in the Collaborative Consumption space, check out our Snapshot of Examples.

Cycling and walking related initiatives From 2005 to 2008 the Cycling Demonstration Towns programme saw six towns across England receive European funding to deliver a range of measures designed to increase cycling levels. Sustrans Research and Monitoring Unit was responsible for the monitoring of the programme where a 27% average increase in cycling across all six towns was observed. Additional funding awarded in January 2008 allowed Cycling England to recruit England's first Cycling City and eleven new towns in addition to those already established, creating the Cycling City and Towns programme. Sustrans' Research and Monitoring Unit conduct monitoring in all eighteen locations. Finding New Solutions is a Cycling England initiative aiming to introduce cycling to different audiences through leisure, workplaces and train stations. Sustrans Research and Monitoring Unit is responsible for the overall evaluation of the programme, but is more directly involved with the Leisure and Workplaces strands. Through the Future Jobs Fund, Sustrans hired 182 long-term unemployed, young people on six-month contracts to upgrade and maintain parts of the National Cycle Network. The Research and Monitoring Unit was involved in evaluation of the project. The Research and Monitoring Unit holds a 'strategic partner' relationship with the EPSRC. As part of this activity a small number of projects and studentships are underway. The iConnect study aims to measure and evaluate the changes in travel, physical activity and carbon emissions related to Sustrans' Connect2 programme. The five-year iConnect study started in May 2008 and involves a broad evaluation of the whole programme coupled with detailed investigations at five specific sites. The Visions 2030 research project assesses the potential in the UK for achieving substantial increases in walking and cycling by 2030. Through innovative approaches to analysis, longer term targets can be reached and the step changes necessary to

Locander, University of Houston ABSTRACT - The present research investigates the usefulness of Family Life Cycle (FLC) in the study of leisure/recreation behavior. The survey results presented show that FLC groupings capture much of the variance in recreation behavior. Implications are drawn for both public and private sector decision-makers interested in leisure behavior. INTRODUCTION In recent years there has been a growing interest in recreation and leisure research by academics, executives, and public officials (Wells & Gubar, 1966; Omura and Talarzyk, 1975; Voss & Blackwell, 1975). Most of the research to date has focused on describing recreation behavior through large scale surveys. Many of the studies have been atheoretical in that they employ little behavioral theory in the research design. The present article examines the Family Life Cycle (FLC) concept as a useful tool in understanding leisure and recreation behavior. FLC appears to have much potential for explaining leisure behavior because it matches needs with groups of peoples. That is, FLC offers a construct that is both multidimensional and dynamic. Its multidimensional nature is attributed to the fact that FLC is a composite of several important demographic variables. FLC is dynamic because it accounts for the changing family needs and structure over time. If FLC does capture difference
