Storylines are condensed summaries complex narratives deployed convenient shorthand discussions. Through content analysis posts from ten Facebook groups by advocates, identify six pairs contending their key...

A mobility behavior change support system, Blaze, is deployed among the students of a university in Philippines. This implemented as travel demand management measure setting. Blaze developed based on stage model self-regulated theory. Our analysis shows that able to induce positive across wide range indicators, specified by theory: car use, membership and intentions. We discuss implications our results, especially development interventions transport policies for cases developing countries.

This paper proposes a conceptualization of the mechanism international transfer infrastructure (as opposed to knowledge, technology, or policy transfer) through intermediation development aid organizations (DAOs).
