Background

Despite national-level initiatives to encourage active transport (AT) in New Zealand since 2005, rates of AT have continued to decline in most parts of the country, with negative impacts on health and the environment. This article describes the development of key policy recommendations for increasing AT in New Zealand. The goal was to establish a cohesive set of priority recommendations to inform AT decision-making in central and local government, district health boards, public health units and regional sports trusts in New Zealand.

Project description

The development of policy recommendations was a planned outcome of multi-sectoral discussions held at The Active Living and Environment Symposium (TALES; Dunedin, New Zealand; February 2019). A ten-member working group consisting of TALES symposium delegates working in academia, industry and non-governmental organisations led the development of the recommendations. Symposium delegates contributed their expertise to draft recommendations and reports prior to, during and after the symposium. Importance and feasibility of each recommended action were independently evaluated by working group members. The final set of 13 policy recommendations (and 39 associated actions) included: making a national-level commitment to change; establishing a nationally coordinated and funded programme of education and promotion of AT; making a commitment to design cities for people, not cars; and developing a regulatory system that encourages AT. The report aligns with the current New Zealand government's increased focus on wellbeing, walking, cycling, public transport and the Vision Zero approach. A final report was officially launched in April 2019 with presentations to stakeholders April-May 2019.

Conclusions

This cross-sector effort resulted in a report with a set of recommendations designed to stimulate the development of a new AT strategy for New Zealand; prompt setting of targets and monitoring progress/outcomes; and inform New Zealand's response to the World Health Organization's Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018–2030.

制定有关新西兰积极运输的关键政策建议：多部门，多学科的努力

背景

尽管自2005年以来在新西兰采取了国家级鼓励主动运输（AT）的措施，但是AT的比率在该国大部分地区持续下降，对健康和环境产生了负面影响。本文介绍了在新西兰提高AT的关键政策建议的发展。目的是建立一套有凝聚力的优先建议，以告知AT决策在新西兰的中央和地方政府，地区卫生委员会，公共卫生部门和地区体育基金会。

项目介绍

政策建议的制定是在积极的生活与环境研讨会（TALES;新西兰但尼丁; 2019年2月）上举行的多部门讨论的计划成果。由TALES学术研讨会代表，学术界，工业界和非政府组织组成的十人工作组领导了建议的制定。座谈会代表在座谈会之前，之中和之后都贡献了自己的专业知识，以起草建议和报告。每个建议措施的重要性和可行性均由工作组成员独立评估。最后的13项政策建议（和39项相关行动）包括：在国家一级做出改变的承诺；建立由国家协调并资助的AT的教育和推广计划；承诺为人而不是汽车设计城市；并开发鼓励AT的监管系统。该报告与新西兰现任政府对健康，步行，骑自行车，公共交通和“零视力”方法的关注更加吻合。最终报告已于2019年4月正式发布，并于2019年4月至5月向利益相关方进行了介绍。

结论

这项跨部门的努力产生了一份报告，其中提出了一系列建议，旨在刺激新西兰制定新的AT战略；迅速设定目标并监测进展/结果；并告知新西兰对世界卫生组织《 2018-2030年全球体育锻炼计划》的回应。
