Impact of cycle lanes and public bike parking on bicycle commuting: How to achieve France’s cycling mode share target?
Despite its well-documented benefits, cycling accounts for only 5% of home-to-work journeys of less than 5 km in France. Towards sustainable transportation, the French government is embarking on a national target of 12% modal share by 2030. However, the limited knowledge of the quantitative impact of additional bicycle infrastructure on bicycle commuting and heterogeneity in municipalities makes it difficult to achieve an equitable nationwide dis…
A multidimensional assessment of housing quality and socio-spatial inequality: Evidence from Ghana
Access to adequate housing is fundamental to wellbeing and sustainable development, yet systematic measurement of multidimensional housing quality and its spatial distribution is limited across many rapidly urbanising countries in the Global South. This paper develops a Multidimensional Housing Quality Index (MHQI) using household-level microdata from Ghana's 2021 Population and Housing Census (N = 836,515) and combines it with the Alkire–Foster …
Influence of land use patterns on urban heat island dynamics in an emerging megacity: A case study of Zhengzhou, Henan, China
This study investigates the influence of land use and land cover change (LULCC) on urban heat island (UHI) effects in Zhengzhou, Henan, China, amid rapid urbanization and significant landscape transformations between 1993 and 2023. Employing remote sensing and geospatial analytical methods, we analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of UHI intensity and its relationship with LULCC variables, including built-up areas, bare land, farmlands, forests, wa…
Investigating the housing and transportation burden in a Ghanaian city
Although there is a strong relationship between housing and transportation (H+T) spending, traditional housing affordability estimates from sub-Saharan Africa exclude transportation costs. Also, the H+T literature has few case studies from small cities and developing countries. This dearth of research makes it difficult to understand the housing burden and provide workable solutions. This paper measures H+T affordability in Koforidua, Ghana, base…
Towards sustainable freight transportation in Africa: Complementarity of the fuzzy Delphi and best-worst Methods
The focus on sustainable freight transportation (SFT) is crucial for a sustainable future, especially with the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement. However, comprehensive research on the environmental, social, and economic aspects of SFT in Africa is limited. This study integrates the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) and Best-Worst Method (BWM) to evaluate 17 determinants of SFT in Africa, revealing greenhouse gas emissions, noise emissions, a…
Lived transportation barriers for persons with disabilities: Contextualizing the Ghana disability law through the lenses of Giddens' theory of structuration
How about finding alternative livelihood sources to relocate in-lane street hawkers from the urban road network
Education for sustainable development in rural communities: Parents' perceptions of children's willingness‐to‐study and learning difficulties associated with school transport in Ukerewe Island, Tanzan…
Quality education and school transport are prerequisites for children to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), but they are disproportionately inadequate in rural communities. This study explores 350 parents' perceptions of the willingness‐to‐study (WTS) and learning difficulties of schoolchildren in Ukerewe Island (Tanzania) based on the mode of transport. The study surveyed 17 rural islands to build structural equation models based on H…
