摘要: |
This keynote paper begins with a brief examination of the history of mobility surveys. It then discusses the measurement of mobility, giving a brief account of some of the major problems with the present practice of empirical mobility research. This account makes it clear that the lack of standards and the lack of awareness that carrying out surveys requires relevant knowledge and -- above all -- experience have led to a detectable decline in the methodological quality of surveys in the transport field. The paper concludes that low response rates, imprecise/incomplete answers and unsuccessful surveys are not the fault of the respondents, but rather that of the researchers. |
