Book excerpt: (Uncorrected OCR) Abstract of thesis entitled Developing a Sustainable Transport System in Hong Kong Submitted by CHAN Kwong Yan, Ian for the degree of Master of Arts in Transport Policy and Planning at The University of Hong Kong in June 2004 It is broadly agreed that sustainable development in transport is vital to the world at present and in future. Economical growth benefits human beings but also creates problems in over consumption of natural resources and pollution. A lot of cities such as Hong Kong are enjoying benefits from mobility, but also suffering deterioration in air quality due to vehicle emission. Development of a sustainable transport system is indispensable. It is hard to develop a sustainable transport system from a planning model with no full consideration of sustainability. In the past decade, lots of studies have been done for 1 building up transport planning model that would cater for requirements of sustainability. One of the areas under research is the use Stated Preference (SP) Survey in modelling. A recent study [Loo 2002] has identified ways of using SP surveys to improve traditional four-stage transport planning model for developing a sustainable transport system. Countries in Europe and North American have applied SP survey to develop sustainable transport, but it is comparatively less use in Asia. Hong Kong Special Administration Region (HKSAR) has incorporated sustainability as one of the policy objectives of the government but the current use of traditional four-stage transport planning model for evaluating transport policies and projects does not fully cater for the requirements of sustainability. Hence, this study is an attempt to carry out a location-specific SP survey to estimate new utility functions using Stated Preference Survey and Multinomial Logit Analysis for improvement of the traditional four-stage transport planning model, and to understand the implication of the results of findings to the development of sustainable tra.

Abstract: With the increased concern as to sustainable development in recent years, there is a need to develop a sustainable transport system as urban transportation plays an important role in cities. Transportation is an important part of daily life as it is related to mobility; and enhanced mobility will contribute to economic development and improve the quality of life. However, the most commonly used transport modes (i.e. motorised transportation) have contributed to heavy air and noise pollution, degrading our environment and affecting people's quality of life. With this unsustainable urban transport system, there is an urgent need to apply the principles of sustainable development to the development of the transport system. The aim of this study is to revisit the general transport hierarchy, examine how the hierarchy varies according to geographical and trip characteristics, and propose new sustainable transport hierarchies that take local contexts, availability of existing infrastructures, travel distance, and income level into consideration. In this study, Hong Kong is chosen as the focus of the study despite the fact that government has already identified the heavy rail system as the backbone of Hong Kong's transport system, and 90% of all travel trips in Hong Kong are carried out on public transport, yet there is much room for improvements, for example the high roadside air pollution, the public transport are not fully utilised, non-motorised transport modes are not widely used, and the public transport fares are on the high side. The Travel Characteristics Survey 2001 will be used for examining trip characteristic variations in Hong Kong. The findings suggest that the general transport hierarchies in Hong Kong do not match with the theoretically most sustainable transport hierarchy. Furthermore, the findings suggest that travel distance and income level have an effect on people's choice of transport modes. The results give a better understanding of the overall sustainability of Hong Kong's transport system and its local variations so that supportive policy can be formulated to further promote sustainable transportation based on the local characteristics, such as the availability of infrastructure, and the socio-economic and travel characteristics of residents in different districts.

Book excerpt: This book aims to provide a good understanding of and perspective on sustainable transport in Asia by focusing on economic, environmental, and social sustainability. It is widely acknowledged that the current situation and trends in transport are not always sustainable in Asia, due in part to the fast-growing economy and the astounding speed of urbanization as well as least-mature governance. As essential research material, the book provides strong support for policy makers and planners by comprehensively covering three groups of strategies, characterized by the words “avoid” (e.g., urban form design and control of car ownership), “shift” (e.g., establishing comprehensive transportation systems and increasing public transportation systems for both intracity and intercity travel), and “improve” (e.g., redesign of paratransit system, low-emission vehicles, intelligent transportation systems, and eco-life). These are elaborated in the book alongside consideration of the uncertainty of policy effects in the future. The book is also valuable for scholars and scientists because of the diverse methodologies presented and proposed herein. Among those are the four-step model with full feedback mechanisms, the bi-level programming model with sustainability goals, data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis approaches, structural equation models, discrete and/or continuous choice models, copula-based models, survival models, and driving risk models with short-term memory. Using data collected from more than ten Asian cities, including those in both developed and developing nations, the pathway to sustainable transport in Asia gradually becomes clear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Development in Hong Kong provides a unique and pioneering examination of what the application of the ideas of sustainable development implies for Hong Kong with all its exceptional characteristics, political, social, ecological, and especially its very high urban density. The book brings together, for the first time, a broad cross-section of 21 public and private sector specialists in the many and varied aspects of sustainable development. In so doing, it demonstrates the breadth and depth of local knowledge and expertise in the subject, as well as the wide range of concepts and issues that will have to be considered and interests reconciled, for the concept to be fully implemented in Hong Kong. Sustainable development has been defined as: "development that meets the needs of today whilst not affecting the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Implementing this concept requires that decision-makers from all stakeholder groups (government, business and the public) not only commit to sustainable development, but also incorporate it at every level of decision-making regardless of the political, economic, social, technological, cultural and legal frameworks within which their decisions are made. It also requires that, before doing so, they hear, respect and utilize the input from each other in these decisions. Sustainable development was placed squarely on the political agenda in Hong Kong through the Chief Executive's commitment to it in his Policy Address in 1999. This was followed by the adoption of it as an overriding objective in Hong Kong 2030: Planning Vision and Strategy (2001) and the establishment of the Sustainable Development Unit (2001) and the Council for Sustainable Development (2003). This is a book for all who are concerned about Hong Kong's environment and about its future development. The exceptional nature of Hong Kong means that this book also provides a valuable extreme case study for all who work in the sustainable development field.

Abstract: Abstract of Dissertation entitled "A Review of Sustainable Development for Railway in Hong Kong by Tsui Wai Tak for the degree of Master of Interdisciplinary Design (MIDM) at the University of Hong Kong in August 2006 Hong Kong is a world class city and centre for financial, trading and business with now nearly 700 million people in such a small place. Therefore, there will be many traffic demand generated by either the people living or working in this densely populated city. The transportation in Hong Kong must be sustainable enough to deal with traffic demand of different modes of transportation. The road based-transportations have found to be unsustainable, since there are too many traffic congestions and accidents. These all affect the efficiency of the productivity in Hong Kong, and the gases emitted from vehicles will increase the air pollution and green house effects. In view of the situation, the Government is now more relied on the use of railways as the backbone of passenger transport system. If one of the solutions leading to sustainable transportation is the better use of railway, we need to evaluate the railway performance in Hong Kong in terms of Sustainability by systematic approach. This dissertation will first review the theory of sustainability and follow by an overview of the development of railway in Hong Kong. Finally, evaluation on the largest railway operator in Hong Kong will be carried out by sustainability indicators. DOI: 10.5353/th_b3678904 Subjects: Railroads - China - Hong Kong
