It suggests a new approach to investigate and measure individual access, and it argues that dynamic interactions between individual action and social structure influence individual?s access to transport, which cannot be measured using other traditional accessibility approaches. The overwhelming majority of models in transport research assume that socio-economic factors and the built-environment influence the accessibility of transport for individuals. This book provides evidence that individual decision-makings and actions are also vital factors to bring out changes in accessibility. Further, the study adopts a self-organisation process and structuration theory to illustrate that a significant proportion of travel problems of migrants are rooted in the interaction between actions and social structures. Any change in migrants? actions or social structures in the self-organisation process would result in the production of complex and spontaneous travel behaviour. The self-organisation approach presented provides a new approach for urban transport planning in the future, particularly on the investigation of the accessibility of disadvantaged social groups. By using the social theories, transport research can have an effect on commuting behaviour and to improve poor workers? quality of life. 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aRegional planning 606 $aCity planning 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aUrban Studies/Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22250 606 $aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aRegional planning. 615 0$aCity planning. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 14$aUrban Studies/Sociology. 615 24$aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 676 $a003.7 700 $aLau$b Joseph Cho-yam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059739 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910383837103321 996 $aSelf-Organisation Shapes Travel Behaviours and Social Exclusion in Deprived Urban Neighbourhoods of China$92508044 997 $aUNINA
