Developing a methodology for appraising rainwater harvesting with integrated source control using a case study from South-West England (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Melville-Shreeve, P., Ward, S., & Butler, D. (2014, September). Developing a methodology for appraising rainwater harvesting with integrated source control using a case study from South-West England. Paper presented at 13th International Conference on Urban Drainage, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

A methodology has been developed to design and evaluate rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems incorporating “retention and throttle” passive control. Two drainage design options were developed and assessed using hydraulic models for a case study site in...

A biographical approach to studying individual change and continuity in walking and cycling over the life course (2014)
Journal Article
Jones, H., Chatterjee, K., & Gray, S. (2014). A biographical approach to studying individual change and continuity in walking and cycling over the life course. Journal of Transport and Health, 1(3), 182-189. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jth.2014.07.004

Most research studies seeking to understand walking and cycling behaviours have used cross-sectional data to explain inter-individual differences at a particular point in time. Investigations of individual walking and cycling over time are limited, d...

Creative rural places: A study of cultural industries in Stroud, UK (2014)
Thesis
Conefrey, C. M. Creative rural places: A study of cultural industries in Stroud, UK. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/812236

This thesis explores how different geographical places and space shape the way cultural industries work. In a departure from much of the existing literature, this study focuses on rurally based industries. In particular, it seeks to identify the wa...

Measuring rock hardness in the field (2014)
Book Chapter
Mol, L. (2014). Measuring rock hardness in the field. In J. Nield, & L. Clarke (Eds.), Geomorphological Techniques. British Society for Geomorphology

Rock surface hardness is often used as an indicator of the degree to which a rock surface has weathered. As the surface deteriorates the loss of cohesion results in crumbling of the surface, increased pore water circulation and dislodging of sections...

The effects of cycle lanes, vehicle to kerb distance and vehicle type on cyclists' attention allocation during junction negotiation (2014)
Journal Article
Frings, D., Parkin, J., & Ridley, A. M. (2014). The effects of cycle lanes, vehicle to kerb distance and vehicle type on cyclists' attention allocation during junction negotiation. Accident Analysis and Prevention, 72, 411-421. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aap.2014.07.034

Increased frequency of cycle journeys has led to an escalation in collisions between cyclists and vehicles, particularly at shared junctions. Risks associated with passing decisions have been shown to influence cyclists' behavioural intentions. The c...

Shifting of the ontological-epistemological balance in contemporary research agendas: A critique (2014)
Journal Article
Gopinath, D. (2015). Shifting of the ontological-epistemological balance in contemporary research agendas: A critique. Quality and Quantity, 49(5), 1873-1882

With greater calls for public involvement, there are now claims of methodological shifts to ‘bottom-up’, ‘politically informed’ and ‘boundary-less’ approaches. This is not accurate as there is still predominantly an emphasis on epistemological consid...
