Abstract

The present paper offers a proposal for a conceptual framework which aims at relating, in a systematic way, the development of macro or meso level environmental policies to the empirical evaluation of such policies at the level of individual actors. For this purpose the macro-micro link model of Coleman is integrated with a general social-psychological actor theory (Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour) and the structural equation modelling approach. The proposed framework is applied and empirically tested in the context of a three-wave panel study intended to evaluate the effects of two transport policy interventions (a drastic price reduction for public transport and the introduction of a new bus route). The results of the longitudinal data analyses provide a detailed picture of the short and long term reactions to the interventions both overall and for specific subgroups.
