Abstract

To facilitate the development of a green travel environment within the community, researchers have analyzed the relationship between built environment and vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT) from different perspectives. However, these studies often overlook the fact that there are both spatial and attribute differences in the effects of different built environments on VKT, and that the extent of such differences varies across variables. This oversight may lead to ineffective built environment optimization measures. To address this problem, based on data from a survey of car use behavior in Baoding, China, this study utilized a multi-scale geographically weighted regression model (MGWR) that considered the spatial scale heterogeneity of variables. Additionally, a multi-scale attribute weighted regression model (MAWR) was developed based on the MGWR model, emphasizing group heterogeneity. The findings of the study emphasize the importance of considering spatial location and attribute characteristics when formulating policies related to the built environment.

优化建筑环境以减少汽车使用：空间和属性异质性视角

为了促进社区内绿色出行环境的发展，研究人员从不同角度分析了建成环境与车辆行驶公里数（VKT）的关系。然而，这些研究往往忽略了这样一个事实，即不同建筑环境对VKT的影响既有空间差异，也有属性差异，而且这种差异的程度因变量而异。这种疏忽可能导致建筑环境优化措施无效。为了解决这一问题，本研究基于保定市汽车使用行为调查数据，利用考虑变量空间尺度异质性的多尺度地理加权回归模型（MGWR）。在多尺度属性加权回归模型的基础上，建立了多尺度属性加权回归模型（MAWR），强调了群体异质性。研究结果强调了在制定与建筑环境相关的政策时考虑空间位置和属性特征的重要性。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
