Active transport is vital to ensure urban living in a clean, healthy and quality environment. Today, rapid motorisation in Malaysia has been associated with congestion and accidents. Besides, carbon gas emission is polluted the environment and grossly affect people’s quality of life. This study is aimed to predict the variable that effect shift to active transport for short trips. The study employed a survey method, where a set of questionnaire was distributed to 400 samples involved population of five sub-districts in Kota Bharu, which is within 12 km radius from the city centre. The data indicated that almost 100% of the respondents and their households use motorised for daily activities. In addition, 52% of respondents agreed to switch to active transport and 48% the rest did not agree. Willingness to shift to active transport based on state preference survey is significantly influence by level of education and occupation. A study using logistic regression has shown that the highest level of education and occupation of an increasingly less likely a user is to use active transportation. The findings of this study can help relevant agencies such as transportation planners and urban planners to introduce the use of active transport as a mode of transport in city centre.

Abstract The district “New Praga” is located on the right-bank of Warsaw in North Praga which is one of the oldest districts of the city. The citizens of this district, where an analyzed building quarter is located, are people with a lower social status than the rest of Warsaw’s population, who benefit from the social assistance (30%); moreover, there are a large number of crimes and high unemployment among young people in this area. These data show how difficult is to modernize this area because the improvement of a construction tissue is not enough to fully help the local community. Financial resources are needed to increase the level of education that allows finding new jobs and improves the quality of life. Afterwards, the modernization of tenements should be taken care for.

<p>This study attempts to investigate the impact of labor market Inequality on the income of<br />medium industry sector’s worker in the Palembang City-Indonesia. Using 380 respondents<br />which covers male and female workers ranging from the age of 15 to the age of 64, this study<br />employs a proportional stratified random sampling in determining the sampling technique.<br />This study employs a survey method using in-depth investigation to explore all the facts<br />acquired about the labor market inequality in the medium industry sector. The sample area<br />includes 16 districts in the City of Palembang. The level of education, the job’s capability and<br />the working experience are some of those factors investigated in this study. The factor of<br />labor market inequality is focused on the wage and employment. The result reveals that apart<br />from the level of education, the job’s capability and working experience have a significant<br />impact on the existence of labor market inequality in the medium industry sector. It can be<br />concluded that higher level of education is inessential for the medium industry sector in<br />Palembang City-Indonesia, and this is inline with the notion that the medium industry sector<br />merely requires both working’s capability and spesified technical skills in supporting higher<br />productivity level. The inequality occurs in the wage and the job assigned. Furthermore, the<br />higher the existence of labor market inequality, the lower the income acquired by the<br />employees.</p>

With the use of 1971 journey-to-work census data for London, the spatial distributions of home and workplace locations at different distances from the city centre were analysed for the main modes of transport. The relationships among the fundamental quantities such as density, trip length, modal split, and level of car ownership were also investigated. These analyses were compared with those of corresponding 1966 data. The comparisons show that although the home density in 1971 within the first 2 km from the city centre decreased by approximately 21%, while the workplace density decreased only by approximately 4%, the actual number of workplaces within this range of distance fell by about 2·5 times that of the homes. The overall decrease in homes and workplaces resulted in a 9% drop in the total number of internal trips for London as a whole. Resolving these trips by modes of transport shows that rail, bus, and walk trips had decreased while car trips had increased. As a result, the most common mode of transport to work switched from bus in 1966 to car in 1971. This also contributed to the overall increase in the average trip length in 1971. The analysis on the level of car ownership for 1971 shows that more than 50% of the households located more than 12 km from the city centre had at least one car. On average, the number of cars per household in 1971 was approximately 0·64.

The analysis of the experiences in European cities, following the implementation of different transport policy measures, has led to a conclusion that parking policy measures have the dominant effect on the choice of private car as a mode of transport. This effect is the greatest for the commutes to work, characterized by the longest duration of parking space occupancy. Given the aforementioned experiences in developed European cities, the main aim of the study presented here was the determination of a relationship between limiting the duration of parking space occupancy in the Novi Sad city centre and the transport participants’ decision whether or not to use passenger car to commute to work. Based on the established interdependence between these parameters, we developed a mathematical model for calculating a number of expected car (commuting) journeys that terminate in the city centre as a function of limited duration of parking space occupancy.

<p>The research aims to determine the perception of those practicing SMEs and examine the effect of the quality of financial statements of SMEs on the amount of credit received using several indicators, such as education background, education level, size of the business, age, quality of financial statements, credit guarantee, credit amount received and term loans. Data is collected througha questionnaire distribution from 40 respondents who run their business  in the city of Jayapura. The results show that the education background and the level of education do not influence the perception of SMEs’ actors, but the size and age of business do. While the size, age, credit guarantees and credit terms affect the amount of credit received, the quality of financial reports does not. This is likely due to the fact that the financial statement of SMEs have not been sources of reliable and relevant information for the banks in their decision to provide credit for SMEs’ business.</p>

To encourage students to walk and cycle to school and ensure their health and safety, it is essential to provide safe and operationally efficient infrastructure around schools. This study used an audit tool to assess the infrastructure and environment around schools in the city of Doha, Qatar, with a particular emphasis on active transport (walking and cycling). The aim was to identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Twenty-two schools with varied education levels were assessed. Among all assessed categories, active transport items scored the lowest, requiring the most improvements. A detailed analysis was conducted based on school type (elementary, primary, high, and mixed-schools) and revealed similar results except for elementary schools (scored acceptable for active transport). The study revealed that adding bike lanes, installing bicycle parking, and providing good separation of travel modes are the most needed improvements at school sites. In summary, improving active transport could significantly improve the overall quality of the infrastructure around schools in Qatar. Such improvements could greatly encourage more school children to walk and cycle to school instead of being primarily dropped-off and picked up by their parents’ vehicles or school buses.

In the stage of today’s civilization development, remote city districts became accessible easier because of transport and technologies progress and processes of globalization, since new factors started to have an influence on the development of cities. The accessibility of transport means and expansion of city limits give opportunities to improve citizens’ living environment, expand the areas of greenery and water. It is often noted (when assessing the quality of citizens’ life) that natural elements, such as trees and water, make cities more attractive and improve the quality of life. The development of technologies has an effect on people’s consciousness, priorities and assessment of life quality. Changeable conception of a “prestigious dwelling” is reflected in changes of its price. Dwelling prices are one of the main criteria reflecting the level of economic development and the quality of life in cities and regions. The results of recent investigations show that besides the well- known classical ecological characteristics of greenery (protection from dust, air cleaning) it also has a significant social effect. It is proved that green areas have a soothing effect, reduce stress and aggressiveness, improve communication among neighbours and consolidate communities. When considering dwelling prices in cities, it is necessary to regard the fact that urban structure isn’t homogeneous. The city is composed of separate residential districts which usually have some common characteristics: build-up density, the number of working places, distance from the city centre, the size of greenery, etc. An empirical model of correlation-regression was developed when seeking to estimate the influence of different factors on dwelling prices in separate districts, and the method of clusters was used when identifying general groups of city districts. In the case of Vilnius residential districts are divided into three clusters which differ significantly in their dwelling prices and the area of greenery per capita. Conclusions were formulated in accordance with the performed statistical analysis.
