The Influence of Walking Attitudes and Walking Environment on Private Vehicle-Dependent Travel Behaviour in Asian Developing Countries

抄録

This study examines the quantitative influence of various factors on travel behaviour and provides policy implications for developing countries, focusing on the walking environment and attitudes towards walking in terms of the influence on the travel mode choice behaviour for short-distance and long-distance trips. The study utilizes data collected through questionnaires in three Asian megacities to analyse preferences and behavioural intentions for the travel mode choice. The results reveal that attitudes towards walking significantly contribute to enhancing the modal shift from private vehicles for both short-distance and long-distance trips, and it could be achieved through the improvement of the access and egress environments between the origin, destination and the transit stop. Other influences of other attitudes and habits of behaviour on preferences and behavioural intentions are also quantified. The policy implications emphasize the importance of each component in public transport development projects for promoting sustainable travel choices.
