Exploring the potential of large language models (LLMs) in analyzing passengers’ perceptions of transit service quality
Public transit systems are essential to urban mobility, serving millions of daily commuters. To develop a more responsive, equitable, and efficient public transportation system, it is crucial for transportation planners and policymakers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the diverse travel experiences of transit users. Social media platforms offer valuable, continuous feedback, enabling transit providers to identify issues, make real-time a…
Density or diversity? Untangling the roles of points of interest (POIs) in shaping urban vitality
Public transport as ‘political infrastructure’
Moving beyond a focus on the technical and instrumental role of public transport, this study expands understanding of public transport infrastructure as, what McFarlane and Rutherford term, ‘political infrastructures’ in the context of an urban social movement. With a particular focus on how political attitudes influence perceptions of public transport, this study examines the impact of a social movement (the 2019 Anti-Extradition Law Amendment B…
E-taxi drivers' charging behavior
Transport electrification is a critical step toward energy conservation and emission reduction. However, the central challenge for electrifying transportation remains insufficient and unsuitable configurations of public charging infrastructure. Understanding the charging behavior of electric taxi (e-taxi) drivers from an urban planning perspective is important for planning public charging infrastructure. In light of this, our study extracts e-tax…
How does the effect of walkability on walking behavior vary with the time of day? A study of Shenzhen, China
Mixed Geographically Weighted XGBoost (M-GWXGB) Model
Using mobile phone data to capture residential segregation and its association with travel mobility
This study measures residential segregation and investigates its association with travel mobility by using mobile phone data from Shenzhen, China. It considers residential segregation in terms of income level and migrant group; and travel mobility in terms of travel frequency, activity space, and travel distance. Unlike previous research on residential segregation and travel mobility, our research uses mobile phone data to produce empirical evide…
Decoding the spatial effects of walkability on walking behavior among older adults by integrating big data and small data
The impact of greenspace proximity on stress levels and travel behavior among residents in Pasig city, Philippines during the Covid-19 pandemic
How People’s Covid-19 Induced-Worries and Multiple Environmental Exposures Are Associated with Their Depression, Anxiety, and Stress during the Pandemic
This study investigates how people's perceived COVID-19 risk, worries about financial hardship, job loss, and family conflicts, and exposures to greenspace, PM 2.5 , and noise (in people's residential neighborhoods and daily activity locations) are related to their depression, anxiety, and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a two-day activity-travel diary, a questionnaire, and real-time air pollutant and noise sensors, a survey was conduc…
An investigation into the impact of the built environment on the travel mobility gap using mobile phone data
Examining the non-linear effects of transit accessibility on daily trip duration
Long Commutes, Work-Life Balance, and Well-Being
This study examines the cascading effects of long commutes on the work-life balance and subjective well-being of commuters from Hong Kong’s new towns. We collected questionnaire surveys and developed a structural equation model. Our results show that new-town commuters experienced lower levels of travel satisfaction, work-life balance, and subjective well-being. Meanwhile, our qualitative analysis of interview transcripts reveals that new-town re…
Walking accessibility to non-work facilities and travel patterns in suburban new towns
Liveability and migration intention in Chinese resource-based economies
Using data mining to explore the spatial and temporal dynamics of perceptions of metro services in China
Improving perceptions of service quality is a promising planning strategy for increasing the attractiveness and retaining the ridership of public transport systems. The widespread use of social media presents an opportunity to investigate the performance of transport services from the customer’s perspective. This study proposes a framework for integrating quantitative and qualitative analyses to investigate the perceptions of transport services b…
Job accessibility and joint household travel
Pedestrianization Impacts on Air Quality Perceptions and Environment Satisfaction
Previous studies have investigated the increased volume of pedestrians to establish success rates of the pedestrian-friendly policy after a street redesign intervention. However, few studies have focused on the effect of street regeneration on air quality perception and user satisfaction. The influence of the physical environment on street vitality may vary, depending on area context and regional factors. A comprehensive understanding of effectiv…

Evaluating Hong Kong’s Spatial Planning in New Towns From the Perspectives of Job Accessibility, Travel Mobility, and Work–Life Balance
Problem, research strategy, and findings: From the 1970s to the 1990s, the Hong Kong government developed several new towns to alleviate pressure on contemporary urban areas and provide housing for a rapidly growing population. Although self-containment is a key objective in building new towns, no research has assessed residents’ behavioral outcomes, limiting the objective assessment of the spatial planning of new towns. In this study, we hypothe…
The influence of job accessibility on local residential segregation of ethnic minorities
Previous research has shown that spatial mismatch between residential location and employment opportunities acts as a key influencing factor in employment outcomes for ethnic minorities living in segregated neighbourhoods. However, the effect of job accessibility on residential choice and segregation of ethnic minorities and its relevance to spatial mismatch across different minority groups has not been fully captured, especially in high‐density,…
A time-use perspective of out-of-home activity participation by older people in Hong Kong
Promoting active aging has emerged as a key objective of urban planning and policymaking globally. Our study aims to provide new insights from a time-use perspective. In this paper, we use Hong Kong as a case study to investigate how people aged 60 and older allocate their time in various out-of-home activities. We analyse how personal and household characteristics affect the duration of out-of-home activities among older adults using two decenni…

Network Accessibility and Employment Centres
This research examines the impact of accessibility on the growth of employment centres in the Los Angeles region between 1990 and 2000. There is extensive empirical documentation of polycentricity—the presence of multiple concentrations of employment—in large metropolitan areas. However, there is limited understanding of the determinants of growth of employment centres. It has long been held that transport investments influence urban structure, p…

A hierarchical estimation of school quality capitalisation in house prices in Orange County, California
Bidding for proximity to a good school can lead to a pattern of spatial distribution in which households with similar socio-economic status and willingness-to-pay for school quality cluster together. In this paper, we adopt a three-level hierarchical framework using residential house prices in Orange County, California, in 2001 and 2011, to estimate how much homebuyers pay for school quality. Our data show that, during this period, the Academic P…
