The Criteria of Evaluating Active School Travel at Jerash Camp
Abstract Promoting active travel to school has become a growing interest for governments and organizations in the past decades. However, it is less known how children in the refugee camps travel to school. This paper aims to identify the possibility for the children at Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan (Jerash Camp) to involve with the Active School Travel. Jerash camp was selected as a representative case of the ten official camps in Jordan for Palestinian refugees because of it is among the oldest and compact refugee camps. The preliminary investigation found factors such as social and economic conditions on the safety and security of school children may contribute to the possibility of Active School Travel in the camp. However, the condition of pedestrian facilities and route conditions maybe become the deterrent factors. As a conclusion, the findings from the preliminary study can be used to plan a better design and improvement to promote the active school travel for children in Jerash camp.
