year, more than 1 million injury accidents (including 50,000 fatalities and 1.7 million people injured) occur on public roads throughout the European Union. Hence, improving road safety was given top priority in the European Union’s Transport Policy. To reach the overall objective of halving the number of fatalities by 2010, it is essential to know the reduction potentials of the wide variety of already-existing road safety measures. A prerequisite for this task is reliable knowledge about the effectiveness and efficiency of the road safety measures considered. Previous ROSEBUD work packages answered the question how efficiency assessment tools are currently used in different countries (WP1), what factors prevent the use of those tools (WP2) and what can be done to overcome existing barriers and shortcomings (WP3). The main task of work package 4 (WP4) is to test the developed efficiency assessment tools on selected road safety measures. The WP4 program was as follows: • to carry out a certain number of Efficiency Assessment Studies • to report experiences gained from those studies • and to evaluate, through these practical examples, the results of previous work packages (in treating barriers and the use of standardised procedures, respectively) 1.1 Selecting the cases for Efficiency Assessment In accordance with the above program, eleven test cases were chosen, covering as many types of road safety measures as possible (see Table 1). The applicability of the developed analyses techniques of WP3 were tested in light of both the limitation of available data and restrictions of decision-making procedures in different countries.

  • Transplanted Or Uprooted?: Integration Efforts of Bosnian
    Transplanted or Uprooted? Integration Efforts of Bosnian Refugees Based Upon Gender, Class and Ethnic Differences in New York City and Vienna Barbara Franz STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ULSTER ABSTRACT During their settlement in Vienna and New York City, Bosnian refugees experienced class and ethnic conflicts. While the integration mechanisms of the two host societies differed substantially, Bosnian men and women have developed quite different networks. Bosnian women in the Vienna sample devel- oped often lasting relationships with natives or other non-refugees that eventually led to permanent jobs and rather substantial networks. They integrated particu- larly into wider majority societal circles. However, even though women in Vienna developed substantial networks, clashes based on different social classes often resulted in conflicts in the women’s work environment. Bosnian women and men in New York City only rarely established similar networks with US residents and other long-term residents. Their integration occurred more along ethnic bound- aries. Bosnian men in Vienna and the Bosnian refugee population in general in New York City integrated predominantly into the newly formed Bosnian communities in those locales. KEY WORDS Bosnian refugee women ◆ class and ethnic conflict ◆ community creation ◆ discrimination ◆ ethnonationalism ◆ networks ◆ (re)settlement schemes ◆ social and economic integration Describing migrant and refugee women’s structural problems in their efforts to integrate into host countries, migration studies have developed models of ‘triple suppression’ – focused on class, ethnic minority and gender categories – and of ‘double discrimination’ – incorporating non- citizenship and gender status. Both models maintain that citizenship provides greater socioeconomic security for natives than migrants or refugees and that women migrants or female refugees encounter additional structural handicaps in host societies.
