全体主题 > Land-use & Transportation modeling

This study analyzed weekday shopping behavior from the homeplace to destination using data from the 4th Keihanshin metropolitan area person trip survey. We first analyzed the relationships between occupation and transportation means, transportation means and travel time, and transpor-tation means and duration of time at the destination. Results confirmed that employed persons tended to travel by cars, while unemployed per-sons tended to travel by bus or walk. The relationship between travel time and duration of time at the destination was also revealed according to transportation means. We then classified shopping behaviors to expose four patterns. Finally, we analyzed the degree to which certain variables were related to duration of time at the destination. Results confirmed a strong relationship between duration of time at the destination and travel time. The degree of this factor’s influence on other variables was also clarified.
