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.

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 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 transport in Hong Kong, in particular to the provision of new railway links and implement of pedestrianization. It is expected that the result of study would give insights to the improvement on current situation of West Rail Phase I and in formulation and assessment of new transport policy for a more sustainable Hong Kong society. The goal of the study is to enhance traffic calming, mobility and conservation of Hong Kong at reasonable cost. The Multinomial Logit Analysis has revealed that people tend to consider time, fare and interchange in their choice of transport mode but not so much safety and environmental protection. Change in age, income and education of the people have 2 different degree of influence on their preference. The difference in preference of people on transport mode between the Home based to Work and Work based to Entertainment trip is minimal except that they consider transfer to be less important in the Home to Work Trip. The further assessments on the implication of the results of findings to the development of sustainable transport in Hong Kong have indicated that introduction of the Kowloon Southern Link (KSL) will significantly encourage more people to use West Rail as the transport mode. Decrease in fare of West Rail at current situation or increase in fare of the rail after commissioning of KSL would have no si

Abstract: Abstract "Sustainability Assessment in the Transport Sector in Hong Kong" Submitted by IP, Oi-ching for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Management at the University of Hong Kong in April 2004 Transport is vital to the development of a city. To maintain the quality of life of the citizens and prosperity of the city, a sustainable transport system, which comprises the environmental, social and economic perspective, should be considered. However, there is no commonly agreed indicator to assess the transport sustainability in Hong Kong. Moreover, sustainability of transport sectors, including the rail, buses, minibuses, taxis, and private vehicles, were not assessed previously. In order to evaluate the sustainability of land transport sector in Hong Kong, this study aims at developing a set of sustainable transport indicators and employs these indicators to assess the sustainability of land transport sectors in Hong Kong. Moreover, this study provides suggestions on how the land transport sectors in Hong Kong can become more sustainable. Sustainable transport is comprised of three perspectives, namely, the social, economic and environmental perspectives. Social indicators include accessibility for the disabled, level of congestion, and road safety. Economic indicators include fares of public transport, and household expenditure on transport. Environmental indicators include emission from vehicles, percentage of car ownership, number of residents exposed to excessive noise, distance of RAMSAR site to major roads, etc. The sustainability assessment of land transport sectors in Hong Kong is thus ibased on the three perspectives. In the social perspective, buses and rail provide the best accessibility for the disabled compared to other modes of transport. However, it should be noted that only 30% of the buses provide facilities for the disabled. For the economic perspectives, fares can be adjusted with the economic conditions for buses, rail, green minibuses and taxi. For the environmental perspective, taxi is the cleanest vehicle as more than 90% of them have switched to Liquefied Petroleum Gas, which emit fewer pollutants. Hong Kong is heading towards sustainable transport with the indicators shown as above. However, improvement can be made. Car ownership is low in Hong Kong, fatality and injury due to traffic accidents is comparatively lower than United Kingdom and Singapore, most of the journeys are generated by public transport. However, it will be more sustainable if Hong Kong implement the following technological and institutional measures. At technological level, more vehicles, especially goods vehicles and private vehicle can switch to a cleaner fuel. More publicity and enforcement of Fuel Economy Label that indicate the fuel efficiency of vehicles should be implemented. Noise mitigation measures like improved low-noise road texture and noise barriers should be constructed. At the institutional level, alternative modes of transport like walking and cycling should be encouraged. Accessibility for the disabled should be encouraged, and public participation is encouraged for transport related decisions. Fares on public transport have not had a great change and lowered with the decrease in living cost, and this should be considered in transport policy. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3011080 Subjects: Transportation - China - Hong Kong - Evaluation Susta

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Environmentally Friendly Transport System in Hong Kong submitted by Mak Miu Ho for the degree of Master in Transport Policy & Planning at the University of Hong Kong in June 2005. Transport pollution has been identified in society by air quality figures provided by the Environmental Protection Department. Although the figures show that our air quality is improving, it still remains at an unacceptable level, compared to World Health Organisation standards. Various pollution sources have been defined in the study, which stem from our comprehensive transport network. The growing demand of travel is the major factor, and is largely due to the increasing population in the city. Put simply, more people generate higher demand. Transport plans and Policies have been addressed in "Third Comprehensive Transport Study" (1999) and "Hong Kong Moving Ahead" (1999) respectively. But it will take time to see the results. Unfortunately, the Hong Kong government is attempting to alleviate the pollution problem by focusing on measures to reduce emissions. Measures to restrict current traffic volume are vital in working towards an environmentally friendly transport system in the short-term. An Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) Scheme has been adopted in various countries around the world in order to alleviate traffic congestion and/or pollution. In fact, traffic congestion is a major factor of pollution, as it generates toxic gases (exhaust emissions) into the environment. A mini-survey was conducted in Causeway Bay in order to gauge the public's view in implementing ERP in the district, based on an environmental protection concept - "Environmental" Road Pricing. The acceptability of ERP - with a reduction in emissions brought about by a reduced traffic volume - remains high among the participants and hence the general public. Most believed ERP would work to alleviate pollution to a certain level. Further action is needed from the government to promote such a scheme in the city. To effectively work towards an environmentally friendly transport system in Hong Kong, both long-term policies and short-term measures are essential. Together, such policies would create a synergistic effect, and therefore an increased positive impact on the environment.

Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled Ecological Modernisation in the Transport Sector in Hong Kong submitted by TUNG Sun Daniel for the degree of Master of Arts in Transport Policy and Planning at the University of Hong Kong in June 2004 In general, the transport sector in Hong Kong has modernized along ecological lines facing deteriorating environment caused by the transport system and evoking environmental consciousness of the society as suggested by the ecological modernization theory. Firstly, while the centralized and bureaucratic governance structure of transport sector in Hong Kong moves towards a more horizontal and decentralized style in the past decades, the transport decision-making are becoming more open. Secondly, large public transport operators had adopted new technologies and new techniques to reduce their environmental impacts of the business and sometimes taken initiatives beyond regulatory requirements to enhance their competitive edges. However, there is not the case for the trade associations of small entrepreneurs and operators of taxi and Public Light Buses. They lobbied and tied with other shareholders like Legislators to protect their own interests. The Chief Executive 1999 Policy Address would be seen that the Government had observed the prescriptive merit of the ecological modernization theory as guidelines to formulate its policies for transport. Moreover, the strategies for transport had attempted to address environmental problems caused by transport at sources. A number of technological and social and institutional environmental transport policies were proposed to address the environmental problem. However, the short and medium terms of environmental improvements made by the environmental innovations induced by end-of-pipe control policies were predicted to be lost soon. Moreover, various obstacles would interfere the achievement of long term environment protection induced by the environmental transport policies. To resolve these obstacles, it requires radical changes of thinking towards environmental protection, in the social and political arenas to achieve sustainable transport in Hong Kong. As suggests by ecological modernization theory, such radical changes would be introduced only if the government has established environmental imperative as strategic concern and a participatory, flexible and consensual decision making process. However, case studies on the implementation of Spur Line, the provision of Central By-pass, and feasibilities studies of ERP, and planning of Route 7 and SIL and WIL had revealed that environmental considerations are still not a strategies concern of the Government and the decision making process in the transport sector was not flexible and hard to reach a consensus. It shows that the environmental considerations has been watered down from the Chief Executive 1999 Policy Address and transport strategies to transport planning and implementation of transport projects. To build Hong Kong into a "World-Class City," the Hong Kong Government must need to change its discursive approach on environmental protection now, regard it as a strategic concern, and be decisive on setting ecological rules for the transport sector towards sustainability as suggested by the Ecological Modernization Theory. Hong Kong's sustainable future is depended on the hand of the decision makers who wo

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.
