Willingness-to-pay for energy efficient homes
Improving the energy efficiency of the housing stock is essential for decarbonising the housing sector. However, achieving large-scale improvements requires substantial private investment, underscoring the importance of housing market incentives. An extensive literature shows a positive willingness-to-pay (WTP) for housing energy efficiency. However, the methodological issue of omitted variable bias (OVB) has weakened claims of a causal effect. I…
Examining the relationship between neighbourhood satisfaction, physical activity, and well-being in 11 cities in the Global South during the Covid-19 pandemic
Re-examining the role of street network configuration on bicycle commuting using crowdsourced data
Understanding the role of street network configuration on commuter cycling can aid city planners in assessing and evaluating interventions to promote regular cycling into people's routines. Studies examining this relationship generally build models on observed cycling counts. While this provides valuable information, it could still result in an incomplete picture because some routes with advantages (e.g., good accessibility, amenities etc) may no…
The challenges of measuring the short-term rental market
The past decade has seen the growth of Short-Term Lets (STLs) through Airbnb and other platforms. Measuring the scale of this activity is challenging as platforms appear unwilling to share data. Most research on Airbnb uses data from commercial sources but this raises issues of equity in access and transparency. Open data exist, but geographic and temporal coverage is limited. We consider whether these open data can be used to study the STLs sect…
Neighbourhood deprivation, changes in walking attitudes during the Covid-19 pandemic and walking demand in the post-pandemic period
Predicting cycling volumes using crowdsourced activity data
Planning for cycling is often made difficult by the lack of detailed information about when and where cycling takes place. Many have seen the arrival of new forms of data such as crowdsourced data as a potential saviour. One of the key challenges posed by these data forms is understanding how representative they are of the population. To address this challenge, a limited number of studies have compared crowdsourced cycling data to ground truth co…
The impact of privacy protection measures on the utility of crowdsourced cycling data
The evaluation of large cycling infrastructure investments in Glasgow using crowdsourced cycle data
The benefits of cycling have been well established for several decades. It can improve public health and make cities more active and environmentally friendly. Due to the significant net benefits, many local governments in Scotland have promoted cycling. Glasgow City Council constructed four significant pieces of cycling infrastructure between 2013 and 2015, partly in preparation for the 2014 Commonwealth Games and partly to encourage cycling more…
Visualising where commuting cyclists travel using crowdsourced data
Encouraging more cycling is increasingly seen as an important way to create more sustainable cities and to improve public health. Understanding how cyclists travel and how to encourage cycling requires data; something which has traditionally been lacking. New sources of data are emerging which promise to reveal new insights. In this paper, we use data from the activity tracking app Strava to examine where people in Glasgow cycle and how new forms…
How Does Internet Usage Influence Young Travelers’ Choices
New technologies have significant effects on travel behavior, attitudes, habits and potentially future travel demand. Effects may be more prominent for Millennials. Little empirical research has investigated these relationships, mainly due to data limitations. This study focuses on the potential influence of using the Internet while traveling on Millennials’ plans for car ownership. We examine two questions: Does using the Internet while travelin…
Modelling the cost of providing ambulance services
Employment, Transport Infrastructure, and Rural Depopulation
In this paper we propose a new spatial equilibrium model, and use it to discuss issues related to rural depopulation. The discussion focuses on how investments in transport infrastructure and the spatial distribution of basic-sector jobs can promote a relatively balanced growth of peripheral and central areas of a region. Through interdependencies in individual migration decisions and an economic base multiplier mechanism, negative exogenous shoc…
The impact of monetary costs on commuting flows
The spatial transferability of parameters in a gravity model of commuting flows
Spatial Transferability of Hedonic House Price Functions
McArthur D. P., Osland L. and Thorsen I. Spatial transferability of hedonic house price functions, Regional Studies. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether it is possible to use parameter estimates from a hedonic function estimated in one region to make reliable predictions in another region. Two regions in south-west Norway are taken as the example. Focus is placed on the stability and transferability of parameters attached to two measu…
