The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the influences of built environment on children’s school travel. Based on the empirical findings, urban planning strategies to encourage children walking to school alone are addressed. The study began with literature review and proposing research hypotheses. In order to empirically examine the proposed hypothetical relationships between built environment and children’s school travel, this study chose three elementary schools Chinan, Jingmei and Xinhwa in Taipei Wenshan District. Through questionnaire surveys on the elementary school students, the sample data was obtained and analyzed by nested logit model. The base models, which only consider control variables, with extend models which consider both control variables and built environment variables were compared to verify the impacts of built environment on children’s school travel. |
