Nuclear Household

Travel is derived from the necessity to engage in spatially-separated activities. Previous researches have demonstrated that socio-demographics have effects on activity-travel behavior, but few of them focus on the interactions between activity and trip-chaining, especially the influence of trip-chaining on activity. Based on the activity-travel survey data of Suzhou, China, in 2009, complex interactions between activity participation and trip-chaining behavior of nuclear household are explored using structural equation model. Model estimation results show that trade-off and complementarity exist among different types of activities and trip chains. Besides, trip-chaining generation is deeply affected by activity participation. Subsistence activity negatively affects trip-chaining characteristics, while maintenance and leisure activities positively affect it. Furthermore, feedbacks from trip-chaining characteristics to activity participation do exist. Travel time and the number of trip-chaining have significant effects on activity duration.

Activity Participation

A series of structural equation models are presented that capture relationships among sociodemographics, activity participation (time use), and travel behavior for each day during a week in a developing country (Korea). Complex and strong relationships among the endogenous and exogenous variables are explained. In addition, results are similar to findings in the existing literature in developed countries such as European countries and the United States. It is temporarily concluded that there are similar relationships between sociodemographics and travel behavior in developing and developed countries. It is also confirmed that activity patterns are significantly different on weekdays and weekends. Furthermore, during weekdays there are some day-to-day variations in the patterns of activity participation and travel behavior. Finally, the relationships among sociodemographics, activity participation, and travel behavior from the direct, indirect, and total effects in structural equation model systems are presented and explained. This study may contribute to an understanding of travel behavior in developing countries.
