Abstract
This study examines the effects of mobility management to promote bus use and to reduce car use, focusing on individual health consciousness. A case study was conducted for people living in a district where the new bus line was introduced in Utsunomiya city. Information on calorie consumptions, CO2 emissions, traffic accidents, and opportunities for encounter were provided in the questionnaire to affect individual attitudes and travel behavior. The results show that environmental attitude decreased two month after providing information, but health attitude continued improvement. Regarding the way of managing calorie balance, about 80% of respondents will not change travel behavior but increase physical exercise or decrease calorie intake. Older people tend not to change daily behavior for calorie balance, women tend to be affected by information on calorie consumptions and change travel behavior. The travel purposes which more respondents will decrease car use are grocery shopping, eating out and leisure.
