THE INFLUENCE OF TRAVEL MODE CHOICE ON SUBJECTIVE WELL- BEING - A CASE STUDY

The correlation between mobility and subjective well-being (SWB) has received much attention lately. Previous researchers have studied the effect of health parameters or SWB on transport mode; however, there is a lack of study on the influence of travel mode choice (TMC) for daily activities on SWB....

description The correlation between mobility and subjective well-being (SWB) has received much attention lately. Previous researchers have studied the effect of health parameters or SWB on transport mode; however, there is a lack of study on the influence of travel mode choice (TMC) for daily activities on SWB. Besides, the prediction of TMC is critical for transport planning. Therefore, the current study aims to study the TMC and its influence on overall SWB. Data from 732 individuals and 191 households are collected using random sampling techniques, which represents 0.029% of the total population. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for descriptive statistics, whereas R software was used for the multilevel linear regression analysis. The model estimation results show a significant correlation among the variables (p < 0.05, R2 > 0.20). Besides, those who are exposed to public transport and tend to use non-motorized transport modes engage in more physical activities than those who use a private vehicle, which has a negative impact on SWB. The outcome of current research helps policymakers build policies to achieve a sustainable transportation system.
