Contrasting mobilities of locals, expatriates and international tourists in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia: Insights into transport and tourism development in the Global South

Urban mobility is a major worldwide challenge. Increased urbanization of the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, and its increased attractiveness to business travellers and cultural tourists have not been matched by adequate improved and sustainable urban transport provision. An analysis of the different mobilities of local residents, expatriates and international tourists and of their perceptions of the character and quality of urban transport provision highlights considerable use of private cars, old buses and informal travel arrangements, which in conjunction with the quality and limited degree of investment in transport infrastructure (roads, pavements, traffic lanes) contribute to an inefficient, ineffectual and unsustainable transport system, serious problems of congestion and pollution, and a need for careful planning.
對比蒙古烏蘭巴托當地人、外籍人士和國際遊客的流動性: 對發展中國家交通和旅遊發展的洞察。Area Development and Policy. 城市流動性是一項全球面臨的重大挑戰。蒙古首都烏蘭巴托的城市化不斷加快, 對商務旅客和文化遊客的吸引力日益增強, 但城市交通並未能提供相應的服務。本文嘗試分析當地居民、外籍人士和國家遊客在烏蘭巴托的流動性, 以及瞭解他們對城市交通的看法。研究發現當地過多使用私家車、舊公共汽車和非正式的交通工具, 加上交通基礎設施 (道路、人行道、車道) 的投資有限, 造成嚴重的堵塞和污染問題, 也導致交通系統效率低, 未能達到可持續發展, 因此必須重新仔細規劃。Copyright © 2022 Informa UK Limited.
