A survey found far fewer members of the public anticipate using buses, trains and aeroplanes after the country emerges from lockdown. The Impact of Covid-19 on travel behaviour, transport, lifestyles and location choices in Scotland report - PDF attached - was produced by the University’s Transport Research Institute with backing from the Scottish Funding Council. Nearly 1000 (994) Scottish residents completed a detailed survey, designed to inform understanding of how Covid-19 might alter travel choices in the near future and guide appropriate policy responses. Steps were taken to ensure age and gender were broadly representative of the wider population. More than a fifth (21 per cent) of respondents lived in households without access to a car, while 29 per cent lived in households with two or more cars. The survey found 45 per cent of respondents expected to walk more, 29 per cent expected to cycle more and 25 per cent expected to drive their car more in the post-Covid future than they did before the pandemic. However, in stark contrast, 42 per cent anticipated using aeroplanes less, 36 per cent using buses less and 34 per cent using trains less. The most common reasons given for using public transport less in the future were the possibility of getting infections from other passengers, lack of cleanliness/hygiene on board and overcrowding. Dr Achille Fonzone, Associate Professor of Transport Analysis and Planning at Edinburgh Napier, said: “Although part of it may be due to current overexposure to discussions about infective diseases and so be transient, such lack of confidence in public transport is not good news for the industry. It is not good news for Scotland either, considering the importance of public transport to ensure an equitable and sustainable mobility.” Dr Greg Fountas, from the University’s School of Engineering and the Built Environment, said: “A shift to private cars post-pandemic would hamper the efforts to drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the transport sector. That is alarming for Scotland, where transport constitutes the largest source of greenhouse emissions – more than one third of the country’s total emissions in 2018, according to the Scottish Government.” Dr Fonzone added: “Reducing inequalities and the impact on the environment are the two top priorities of the National Transport Strategy of the Scottish Government. The potential loss of demand for public transport must be understood better and suitable actions must be taken as soon as possible.” The report’s lead author Lucy Downey, from the School of Engineering and the Built Environment, highlighted the finding that walking and cycling are among the lockdown behaviours likely to remain popular in the post-Covid future. She said: “The findings are positive for active travel, which seeks to promote healthy journeys and offer viable alternatives to the private car or public transport for short journeys and an opportunity for exercise.” In other findings, over half of workers (54 per cent) expect to work from home more in the post-Covid future than they did before the pandemic and 64 per cent stated that they will use technology more to communicate with colleagues, customers or clients. Over half (52 per cent) of respondents expect to use technology to communicate with family and friends more. When asked about their anticipated future shopping habits, 45 per cent expected to do more online non-grocery shopping in the future and 36 per cent anticipate using home delivery for supermarket shopping more. Covid may affect the housing market as well, increasing the number of those considering relocating. Respondents who indicated that they expect to move from their current accommodation were asked where they would like to move. The majority (57 per cent) would like to stay in the same local area, but move to different accommodation, 33 per cent would like to move from their local area but stay in Scotland and 10 per cent would like to move away from Scotland. Edinburgh Napier’s Transport Research Institute, Scotland’s largest and longest established transport research group, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. An open Timeline event on Thursday April 29, in the form of an online webinar, will chart its inception and development, and offer a glimpse of future plans.

In an effort to improve Scotland’s five year survival rates relative to the best performing coun- tries in Europe and the world, the Scottish Government has embarked upon a ‘Detect Cancer Early’ Programme. This is because much of the survival deficit is due to differences in survival at year one, suggesting that late pres- entation and advanced disease at diagnosis are responsible. The Cabinet Secretary launched a stakeholder engagement period following publication of the draft Implementation Plan on 01 August 2011 and in the five months since then much progress has been made to facilitate and prepare for the programme of high profile social marketing campaigns and the impact that these are anticipated to have on the NHS. THE DETECT CANCER EARLY PROGRAMME HAS FOUR MAIN WORK STREAMS: PUBLIC AWARENESS AND BEHAVIOUR INFLUENCING Considerable insight gathering and research has informed a programme of social marketing campaigns. The first phase of these will be an overarching empowerment campaign to raise awareness of the benefits of early detec- tion.

    CLASSICAL MUSIC ON UK RADIO 1945-1995 Tony Stoller Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2015 1 Copyright statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must be always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. Author’s declaration A small amount of material referred to or included in this thesis was published previously in Stoller, T., 2010 Sounds of Your Life, the history of Independent Radio in the UK. Eastleigh: John Libbey Publishing. That is cited as a reference where appropriate and included in the bibliography. 2 ABSTRACT Tony Stoller Classical music on UK radio, 1945-1995 This thesis comprises the first comprehensive narrative account of the history of classical music radio in the UK between 1945 and 1995, from before the launch of the Third Programme until after the launch of Classic FM. It describes and analyses the rich range of output across all relevant radio stations in this period, rebutting the conventional assumption that this aspect of British radio was simply about the Third Programme and Radio 3. At almost all times during the second half of the 20th Century, those stations were not the majority providers of classical music radio. Classical music radio over these years was marked by a series of high points, when the provision of elite and popular output combined to open the genre to a wide range of listeners; and then by a series of retreats from those summits.

  • Possible Models of Local News Provision by Radio in Scotland – a Mixed Methods Study
    Possible models of local news provision by radio in Scotland – a mixed methods study Authors: Aleksandar Kocic, Edinburgh Napier University Jelena Milicev, MA Hons, Psychology, University of Glasgow Abstract Scotland does not have any public service radio on a local level, except for a few bulletins or programmes offered by BBC Radio Scotland on an opt-out basis. Scottish commercial radio stations do cover local issues but within brief hourly news bulletins, without any in-depth coverage, while community radio by and large lacks resources for any news coverage of its own. Through a review of the existing literature on the role of media in democracy, and in particular the role of local radio, interviews with stakeholders and experts and history, and focus groups with ordinary people, the present study formulates several possible solutions for future local news provision by radio in Scotland. Keywords: local, radio, public, service, news, regulation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As Robins and Cornford noted some 25 years ago, despite all the abstract forces of internationalism and globalisation, local and regional media seem to offer possibilities for creating, or recreating, a sense of community on a human scale. From this perspective, local and regional media are seen as fundamental resources of both democracy and identity (1993). That is because local media cover local news or, to put it more broadly, offer local programming. But what exactly is that? Scholars make a distinction between ‘place-based’ and ‘content-based’ programming (Ali 2017, p18). The former refers to programming which is ‘substantively produced and presented within the local community’, while the latter shifts the emphasis from the production source to the nature of the program’s content (Smallwood and Moon 2011, p39).

    COMMERCIAL RADIO IN BRITAIN BEFORE THE 1990s: AN INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROGRAMMING AND REGULATION EMMA REBECCA WRAY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2009 Copyright Statement This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that the copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 2 Acknowledgements My thesis is inspired by fifteen years working in the commercial radio industry. This is where I developed a passion to tell the story of its contribution to broadcasting history. My move to Bournemouth University in 2002 gave me the opportunity to pursue academic goals and during this time I have fortunate enough to work with and learn from world-leading authors in the field of Radio Studies. I would like to offer my warm thanks to Professor Seán Street who originally inspired me to make the big step into doctoral research and whose own work in the field of ILR opened my mind to a story that relatively little had been written or known about. Dr Hugh Chignell has been an ally, critic and confidant on my three-year journey. His advice and guidance has been invaluable. I hope that through future research I have the opportunity to work with such eminent academics again. A special mention must go to Tony Stoller, the former UK radio regulator who has been more than generous in helping me source key people for this project as well as sharing aspects of his own experience in regulation.
