The results of the statistical analysis confirm the existence of nine obstacles in the implementation of strategies in this area.In order to reduce the uncertainties of social deterrence,it is recommended to develop appropriate mechanisms for the development of social and institutional stakeholder participation,along with the process of designing transport strategies and urban transport strategies.
