Several activities were planned for the Decade of Action (DOA) for Road Safety 2011-2020, covering key policies and interventions on road safety. Knowledge of the activities implemented by key actors is currently lacking in the literature. This study answers the question: what activities were implemented during the DOA by the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) members?
The study used content analysis techniques to extract and analyse information from five United Nations Secretary General's reports, which summarise the activities reported by UNRSC members.
The primary setting for this study are 116 countries in which activities supporting the DOA were conducted.
Frequency of themes and subthemes that emerged from reported activities are identified and cross-tabulated by year of report, country level of income, geographical region and organisation type.
Over the entire DOA, establishment of institutions and lead agencies as well as the development of national strategies featured prominently under the theme of management. This theme was steadily reported across regions, country income level and organisation type. Workshops, training and major events regarding road safety increased in frequency of reporting throughout the decade as did developing and promoting the basic road and vehicle systems supportive of road safety. It is further noted that other key activities like infrastructure and behaviour change that are required for a balanced approach to road safety policy were also attended to by various organisations. Activities related to road safety enforcement and post-crash response as well as activities in low-income countries appeared to be less reported.
The wide range of activities reported by UNRSC members over the entire DOA need to be sustained and evaluated in years to come if they are to have a significant impact on reducing road traffic deaths and injuries at national and international levels.
多项活动被规划于 2011-2020 年道路安全行动十年(DOA)中,涵盖道路安全的关键政策和干预措施。目前,文献中缺乏对主要行为者实施的活动的了解。本研究回答了以下问题:在道路安全协作联合国特别机构(UNRSC)成员的 DOA 期间实施了哪些活动?
本研究使用内容分析技术从五份联合国秘书长报告中提取和分析信息,这些报告总结了 UNRSC 成员报告的活动。
本研究的主要环境是 116 个开展支持 DOA 活动的国家。
通过报告年份、国家收入水平、地理位置和组织类型,对报告活动中出现的主题和子主题的频率进行识别和交叉制表。
在整个 DOA 期间,机构和牵头机构的建立以及国家战略的制定在管理主题下占据重要地位。该主题在各个地区、国家收入水平和组织类型中都有稳定的报告。道路安全方面的研讨会、培训和重大事件的报告频率在整个十年中有所增加,同时也在不断发展和推广支持道路安全的基本道路和车辆系统。此外,还注意到,其他关键活动,如基础设施和行为改变,对于道路安全政策的平衡方法也是需要关注的。道路安全执法和事故后应对活动以及低收入国家的活动似乎报告较少。
UNRSC 成员在整个 DOA 期间报告的广泛活动需要在未来几年内得到维持和评估,如果要对国家和国际层面减少道路交通死亡和伤害产生重大影响的话。
