Resumo:The Covid-19 pandemic has seen an explosion of research on travel behaviour in response to physical distancing and lockdown interventions. However, the history of studying disruptions is quite patchy in the field with infrastructure failures such as bridges or service outages during strikes receiving limited coverage. This Chapter provides a conceptual review as to how the field can understand ‘disruptions’. It begins by discussing boundaries and asks what is being disrupted and what makes something a disruption. How do day to day variations differ from larger systemic disruptions? It looks at what different theoretical perspectives can offer as insights into behavioural responses during disruptions including economic, psychological and sociological. The Chapter concludes by suggesting ways in which the field of transport studies can more usefully integrate insights from disruptions in its analysis and policy insight.
