The findings of this study will improve the future evaluation of transportation projects and land-use policymaking.
Furthermore, involvement of technical experts (including researchers) who have an appreciation for evidence and its use in policymaking, also contributes to evidence-based policymaking.
Furthermore, the majority reported that policymakers very rarely/rarely interacted with researchers through targeted efforts to support research use in policymaking.
In-depth interviews were conducted to explore perceptions of usefulness of evidence in policy/strategy development and the key contextual influences on evidence use for policymaking.
Additionally, deliberative dialogues can potentially strengthen interactions among policymakers, stakeholders, and researchers, which in turn increases the prospects for research use in policymaking [ 23].
Utilizing China's second largest economy is the key to finding solutions in the adjustment of land use and policymaking during economic transformation, whereas healthful and reasonable urbanization serves a vital role in building a harmonious society.
This study provides preliminary evidence for the reliability of a tool that can be used to measure TPB constructs in relation to research use in policymaking.
Consequently, bureaucratic processes must be managed before research and its use in policymaking can be conciliated with executive decision-making and political processes.
However, considering the efficacy of databases only in terms of their use for policymaking may yield too limited a conceptual perspective.
The timeliness of research evidence was one of two factors that emerged with some consistency in a systematic review of the factors that increased the prospects for research use in policymaking [ 1].
Kogan and Henkel were pioneers, developing the concept of the collaborative approach between researchers and policymakers as a way of addressing some of the difficulties of promoting research use in policymaking, and also recognising that there is a diversity of situations in which there might potentially be scope for various types of research to have impact on policymaking.
