How the relationship between socio-demographics, residential environments and travel influence commuter choices
利用2016年爱尔兰人口普查数据，通过结构方程模型分析社会人口特征、居住环境和出行资源如何共同影响通勤者的出行方式选择，发现紧凑型发展和基础设施质量能促进公共交通和主动出行。
Individual socio-demographic characteristics influence the composition of residential environments, employment considerations and transport-dedicated resources, all of which influence individual travel behaviours. To analyse these interrelationships, we employ generalised structural equation modelling using individual-level data from the 2016 Irish Census on workers across the Republic of Ireland alongside highly spatially disaggregated residential built and social environment data. This allows us to consider the non-linear relationships between multiple variables known to influence travel behaviours and provide direction for future policymaking. We find that regardless of socio-demographic compositions, increased developmental compactness and infrastructure quality are associated with increased public and active travel.
