Abstract

Extensive literature has well-documented the impacts of built and social environments on travel behavior. Recently, research attention has focused on the spatial, temporal, and socioeconomic heterogeneities of these impacts. This paper aims to contribute to this growing body of literature by studying the heterogeneity of travel behavior impacts of the built environment among individuals with different social networks. We argue that the built environment may influence travel behavior in different ways for individuals with varying social networks. Using data from a two-day activity-travel diary survey conducted in Shanghai in 2018, we examine how personal social networks mediate and moderate the relationships between the built environment and travel behavior. The modeling results show that personal social networks partially mediate and significantly moderate the effects of the built environment on travel behavior. This study contributes to both the literature on the built environment and travel behavior and that on social networks and travel behavior.

社交网络如何调节/缓和建筑环境对旅行行为的影响？

大量文献充分证明了建筑环境和社会环境对旅行行为的影响。最近，研究重点集中在这些影响的空间、时间和社会经济异质性上。本文旨在通过研究建筑环境对具有不同社交网络的个人的旅行行为影响的异质性，为这一日益增多的文献做出贡献。我们认为，对于拥有不同社会网络的个体而言，建筑环境可能会以不同的方式影响其出行行为。利用 2018 年在上海进行的为期两天的活动-旅行日记调查数据，我们研究了个人社交网络如何介导和调节建筑环境与旅行行为之间的关系。建模结果表明，个人社交网络部分介导并显著缓和了建筑环境对旅行行为的影响。本研究对有关建筑环境与旅行行为的文献以及有关社交网络与旅行行为的文献都有所贡献。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research: Part A contains papers of general interest in all passenger and freight transportation modes: policy analysis, formulation and evaluation; planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environment; design, management and evaluation of transportation systems. Topics are approached from any discipline or perspective: economics, engineering, sociology, psychology, etc. Case studies, survey and expository papers are included, as are articles which contribute to unification of the field, or to an understanding of the comparative aspects of different systems. Papers which assess the scope for technological innovation within a social or political framework are also published. The journal is international, and places equal emphasis on the problems of industrialized and non-industrialized regions. Part A''s aims and scope are complementary to Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, Part C: Emerging Technologies and Part D: Transport and Environment. Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review. Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.
