EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS ON THE VIEW OF HUMAN NATURE CAUSED BY LEARNING TRAVEL BEHAVIOR MODELS

Abstract

Travel behavior models are adopted to infrastructure planning. However, the premise of models as principle of human behavior is not always realistic. We can built up a following hypothesis: it is presumed that those who learn travel behavior models strengthen the view on human nature which the models assume. We conducted questionnaire survey to verify the hypothesis. As a result, learning travel behavior models makes people tend to have a view that human act on simple motives for simple purposes.
