DataSheet1_Planning for fauna-sensitive road design: A review.xlsx

Roads can have significant negative impacts on wildlife. Fauna-sensitive road design (FSRD) can alleviate adverse impacts on several species by installing specialised structures, such as wildlife crossing structures. This developing subfield has generally, however, had a limited impact on transportation planning and management. Indeed, most research is focused narrowly on technological solutions, instead of broader policy learnings. This systematic quantitative literature review (SQLR) of international literature sought to identify the biodiversity concerns acknowledged in transport planning policy, as well as the barriers to the adoption of environmental policies within transport planning. Despite considerable literature available on the impacts of roads on wildlife elsewhere, acknowledgement and consideration of both fauna movement and fauna-sensitive road design were limited in road transportation planning research. More broadly, failure to achieve environmental objectives within transport planning occurred primarily as a result of competing sector interests (conflicted knowledge), different political objectives (political interest), and incorrect interpretation of policies. In essence, the results add new layers of understanding to the field of transportation planning and policy, in particular, the gaps in acknowledgement of wildlife movements and the limitations of current fauna-sensitive road design considered. Importantly, the review identified multiple ecological support tools available to transport policy- and decision-makers. Integration of these in road transportation projects could facilitate enhanced uptake and adoption of FSRD measures and thus foster improved sustainability of the transport network.

道路对野生动物可能产生显著的负面影响。针对动物敏感的道路设计（FSRD）可通过安装专业结构，如野生动物过路设施，减轻对多种物种的不利影响。然而，这一新兴研究领域对交通规划和管理的整体影响有限。实际上，大部分研究都聚焦于技术解决方案，而非更广泛的政策启示。本系统性的定量文献综述（SQLR）对国际文献进行了梳理，旨在识别交通规划政策中认可的生物多样性关切，以及在内陆交通规划中实施环境政策的障碍。尽管关于道路对野生动物影响的相关文献丰富，但关于动物迁徙和动物敏感道路设计的认可与考虑在交通规划研究中仍然有限。更广泛地说，未能实现交通规划中的环境目标主要源于部门利益之间的冲突（知识冲突）、不同的政治目标（政治利益）以及政策解读的错误。本质上，这些研究结果为交通规划和政策领域增添了新的理解层次，特别是在动物迁徙认可方面的不足以及当前动物敏感道路设计局限性的考虑。值得注意的是，审查发现了多个可供交通政策和决策者使用的生态支持工具。将这些工具整合到道路交通项目中，可以促进对FSRD措施的采纳和实施，从而促进交通网络的可持续发展。
