Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop transportation justice indicators to be used in assessing the level of transportation justice during the process of making and implementing transportation policies through a participatory approach. In line with this purpose, this study defined the concept of transportation justice through a literature review. To develop the indicators, first, principles or values related to transportation justice were identified via the literature review and focus-group interviews (FGIs). Second, preliminary indicators were collected based on the identified principles and values. Third, this study employed expert surveys and factor analysis to secure the objectivity of the preliminary indicators. Based on the factor analysis, the final version of the indicators included categories such as environmental friendliness, participation, safety and mobility. Environmental friendliness comprised ‘impact on the human body and the natural environment’ and ‘controlling and monitoring of air pollution.’ Participation consisted of ‘participation of and support for the mobility-impaired.’ Safety included ‘safety of the movement of humans and cargo’ and ‘safety in using transportation facilities.’ Mobility referred to ‘accessibility to green transportation’ and ‘accessibility and convenience for the mobility-impaired.’ These intermediate categories were also composed of related indicators. This study implies that the developed transportation justice indicators may provide a foundation to resolve conflicts during the process of making and implementing transportation policies.
