Abstract

This paper gives a brief outline of the means by which the TransitionScape methodology, a toolkit for enabling communities to generate viable action towards becoming Transition Towns, can facilitate the development of community based transport initiatives with a particular focus on a case study conducted in Oamaru, New Zealand earlier this year. The method was developed to overcome the five main challenges of sustainability. In this paper we present how it relates to transition of transport infrastructure, technology and behaviour.
