Clarifying Qualitative Sub-Objectives in Appraisal
Overview
Background & policy context:
The aim of the research is to raise the standards of appraisal for qualitative sub-objectives to the same high standard as that achieved for other aspects of GOMMMS (Guidance on the Methodology for Multi-modal Studies).
The work will seek to clarify the definition and appraisal of qualitative sub-objectives within GOMMMS.
A number of psychology and sociological models will be used to study the perceptions of selected qualitative sub-objectives amongst transport users to ascertain a common understanding.
This understanding will be used to work towards developing and piloting quantitative assessment criteria, which can be handled in the economic appraisal.
Objectives:
The objective is to identify and define qualitative sub-objectives, establish the general public's perception of these using psychology and sociological models and suggest methodologies for measuring the sub-objectives.
The success of the models used and the selected methodologies will be measured and reported.
