Theoretical Foundations
3.1 Introduction The previous chapter provided a literature review on travel plans and their application to new developments. In doing so, it identified a set of research gaps and opportunities that will become the focus of this thesis in subsequent chapters. The aim of this chapter is to describe the theoretical foundations for this research by providing a literature review of both implementation theory and planning enforcement theory (Fig. 3.1). These theories strongly align with the research aim of identifying opportunities to enhance the implementation and subsequent effectiveness of travel plans for new residential developments. Implementation theory provides guidance on the effective implementation of programs and policies, which can be directly applied to travel plans. By contrast, planning enforcement theory suggests suitable approaches for achieving planning compliance which can provide important lessons for travel planning in the context of new developments. The theories are particularly relevant to the research given the issues associated with implementing travel plans at new residential developments and the difficulties experienced by local government in enforcing them through the land use planning process. This chapter begins with a review of the literature on implementation theory, focusing on both top-down and bottom-up approaches to implementation. It then describes planning enforcement theory, covering two main approaches: systematic enforcement and facilitative enforcement. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the theoretical implications for exploring the use of travel plans for new residential developments.
