tehran community severance community severance skip to content home the author what is community severance tag archives tehran january 6 2014 8 59 pm walking to tehran airport one of my most terrifying experiences was to walk to mehrabad airport in tehran a decade ago this airport was then the main international airport in tehran nobody walks to airports except perhaps famous writers doing psycho geographic research in my case it was just because i had spent my last iranian rials and decided to walk from what at the time was the nearest underground station to the airport it seems an easy walk when you map the route what i did not count on however was that i had to cross azadi square during the evening peak time this square is the main west entrance to the city and is a junction of several major roads it took me more than half an hour to cross to the other side and i only did so because a group of local people was also crossing and i cowardly walked behind them besides that fact that the boarding time for my flight was then dangerously near family members were in tehran last year and reported that the situation is not much better now crossing azadi square is still dangerous this and next 2 pics by vatse on flickr there are some pedestrian crossings here and there but they tend to be disregarded both by drivers and pedestrians because as elsewhere in tehran the only traffic rule is whoever gets there first has the right of way the situation in other parts of the city is similar crossing roads is not an easy task pic from kamyar adl on flickr however not everybody is exposed to pedestrian accident to the same degree this is because there is a high degree of spatial segregation in tehran the city s rich north poor south divide is well known this means that people of different socio economic status walk in different areas of the city which offer different street environments rates of car ownership are also different in rich and poor areas people without cars are dependent on public transport that is shared taxis these people are especially vulnerable to pedestrian accidents because in the chaotic tehran traffic they need to step into the carriageway in order to search for hail and then get on the taxis this article studies the incidence of traffic accidents in tehran as a part of a larger assessment of health inequalities in tehran using the world health organization s urban heart tool the table below compares the distribution of different types of accidents it shows us for example that illiterate people suffered 14 8 of all pedestrian accidents despite being only 6 2 in the sample retired people and divorced widowed people suffered 20 8 and 11 9 of pedestrian accidents but were only 10 8 and 5 5 of the sample other groups with a disproportionate incidence were people aged 45 employed and unemployed people single people and individuals living in tehran for less than 10 years this is yet another example of social inequality in the distribution of the negative effects of road transport leave a comment filed under policy tagged as equity pedestrian accident risk pedestrian crossing pedestrian safety road traffic spatial segregation tehran recent posts turbo urbanism in pristina rescuing interesting research from obscurity tirana 5 what do we see when we walk tirana 4 the spatial and social dimensions of walking tirana 3 redistributing road space archives december 2015 1 august 2015 1 may 2015 3 march 2015 1 february 2015 1 april 2014 1 march 2014 1 january 2014 1 december 2013 7 november 2013 2 september 2013 9 categories activism 4 art 2 policy 19 research 4 uncategorized 1 my other blog alternative environmentalism tags albania attitudes towards walking cape verde community environmental justice equity footbridges pedestrian accident risk pedestrian crossing pedestrian safety praia resilience road design road space safety spatial justice tirana underpasses urban growth urban planning follow community severance on wordpress com community severance the separation of communities by transport infrastructure and traffic create a free website or blog at wordpress com subscribe subscribed community severance sign me up already have a wordpress com account log in now privacy community severance subscribe subscribed sign up log in report this content view site in reader manage subscriptions collapse this bar loading comments write a comment email required name required website design a site like this with wordpress com get started
