Abstract

Given the rapid development of large cities, the residents faced with pressure both at work and in their personal lives tend to solidify their choice of transport modes and form personal travel habits, which in turn leads to higher requirements for urban traffic management. Based on the modified Theory of Planned Behaviour, the structural equation method is employed to explore people’s travel behaviour. It is found that policy attitude, perceived behaviour control, and subjective norms comprehensively affect the residents’ travel intentions under the Vehicle Restrictions in place in Beijing. The residents without private cars display a stronger intention to change their travel choices under the policies. When considering the mediating effect of travel habits between travel intention and travel choice, the impact of the restrictive policies is weakened. Compared with lower-income people, those with higher incomes demonstrate more stable travel habits in response to the effects of the restrictions. The higher the income, the greater the dependence on private cars exhibited by the residents. To summarize, people’s travel habits weaken to some extent the effects of the restrictive policies. Such policies should be created with the explicit aim of gradually changing the people’s habits.

北京限行下，消极出行习惯会阻碍积极出行行为改变吗?

随着大城市的快速发展，居民面临着工作和生活的双重压力，他们对交通方式的选择趋于固化，形成了个人出行习惯，这就对城市交通管理提出了更高的要求。基于改进的计划行为理论，采用结构方程方法对人们的出行行为进行了研究。研究发现，在机动车限行条件下，政策态度、感知行为控制和主观规范综合影响了北京市居民的出行意愿。在政策下，没有私家车的居民表现出更强烈的改变出行选择的意愿。当考虑旅游习惯在旅游意愿和旅游选择之间的中介作用时，限制性政策的影响减弱。与低收入人群相比，高收入人群在出行限制的影响下表现出更稳定的出行习惯。收入越高，居民对私家车的依赖程度越高。总之，人们的出行习惯在一定程度上削弱了限制性政策的影响。这样的政策应该以逐渐改变人们的习惯为明确目标。
