Title: | Developing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Index: Methodological Steps | Authors: | SHEN, Yongjun HERMANS, Elke |

Emerging Trends in the Development and Application of Composite Indicators, IGI Global, p. 20-37 | Series/Report: | Advances in Data Mining and Database Management | Abstract: | Sustainability is a multi-dimensional concept that can be assessed by means of constructing a composite indicator or index. In doing so, a scientifically sound and appropriate index methodology is required. The research proposed in this chapter aims to provide a guideline for developing a sustainability index that is able to assess the impact of mobility on the urban quality of life. By studying the index development process in other domains critically and taking the specific sustainable urban mobility context into account, this study investigates the different methodological steps that are essential in the construction of a sustainable urban mobility index. The main challenges and potential options when developing such an index are discussed. | Keywords: | sustainability; urban mobility; composite indicator; outlier detection; imputation; normalization; weighting; aggregation; sensitivity analysis | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/22792 | Link to publication/dataset: | www.igi-global.com/book/emerging-trends-development-application-composite/148514 | ISBN: | 9781522507147 | DOI: | 10.4018/978-1-5225-0714-7.ch002 | Category: | B2 | Type: | Book Section | Validations: | vabb 2018 |
