- W899422923 abstract "Increasing use of the private car, in part due to declining real costs, has led to a reduction inthe viability of rural public transport services over recent years. Combined with anincreasing recognition that transport can help tackle social exclusion and the advent of theRural and Urban Bus Challenges, this has led to the instigation of a number of publicly fundedDemand Responsive Transport (DRT) schemes in England and Wales. However thereported performance of these schemes has been variable and little is known about theinterplay between their design, operation and performance.This thesis utilised the theory of Realistic Evaluation (Pawson and Tilley, 2007) to designand undertake a survey, and a number of case studies of publicly-funded DRT schemes inEngland and Wales, and analyse the resultant data. In particular this thesis focussed onidentifying the pertinent contexts, mechanisms and outcomes that impact upon the design,operation and performance of DRT schemes in an attempt both to learn more about theprocesses that operate within a DRT scheme, and develop a method by which others can learnmore in the future.The conclusions of this thesis are therefore twofold. Firstly they relate to the design,operation and performance of publicly-funded DRT schemes in England and Wales andhighlight the importance of careful planning and implementation, and the impact of externalcontexts, such as geographical and human factors. Secondly they find that RealisticEvaluation can provide a useful framework to evaluate DRT schemes, and one that allows forthe cumulation of evaluations in the future. However it is also noted that, in this instance, theapplication of the theory does not provide results of the level of detail that was predicted atthe outset of the study.As a result of this research a significant contribution to knowledge has been made through thedevelopment of a baseline of data pertaining to publicly-funded DRT schemes in Englandand Wales, and the production and trialling of a framework for the evaluation of DRT." @default.
