摘 要：交通贫困不仅仅是一个用来强调社会上某些群体无法按需要进行通勤的术语,而是一个概念正在被研究者研究,以便准确定位和识别弱势群体,需要在交通政策和决策中加以考虑。由于其复杂性,对运输贫困的概念化和度量并不总是明确和全面的。由于衡量运输贫困通常需要一组特定的数据,发展中国家通常被视为潜在的数据不足。泰国的社会和经济情况表明,该问题在泰国已经存在,但其计量所需数据的可得性尚未得到证实。本文回顾和讨论了该概念是如何被前人的一些研究定义和测量的,以及泰国适用于各种类型测量的数据的可得性。结果表明,现有的数据会允许一定的类型和程度的测量,然而,更精确和准确地测量问题需要更完整的数据集。
Abstract: Transport poverty is not only a term used to accentuate the fact that some groups of population in the society are unable to commute as they need, but the concept is being studied by researchers to accurately locate and identify the disadvantaged, who would need to be considered in transport policy and decision making. Due to its complexity, conceptualization and measurement of transport poverty have not always been clear and comprehensive. As measurement of transport poverty usually requires a specific set of data, developing countries are generally regarded as potentially having insufficient data. Thailand’s social and economic context imply that the issue has been present in the country while availability of data required for its measurement is unconfirmed. This paper reviews and discusses how the concept has been defined and measured by some previous research as well as availability of Thailand’s data applicable for various types of measurement. The results show that existing data would permit certain types and degrees of measurement; nonetheless, a more precise and accurate measurement of the issue would require more complete data sets.
