description This paper aims to analyze the influence mechanism of built environment factors on passenger flow by predicting the passenger flow of Shenzhen rail transit in the morning peak hour. Based on the classification of built environment factors into socio-economic variables, built environment variables, and station characteristics variables, eight lines and one hundred sixty-six stations in Shenzhen Railway Transportation are taken as research objects. Based on the automatic fare collection (AFC) system data and the POI data of AMAP, the multiple regression model (OLS) and the geographically weighted regression (GWR) model based on the least squares method are established, respectively. The results show that the average house price is significantly negatively correlated with passenger flow. The GWR model considering the house price factor has a high prediction accuracy, revealing the spatial characteristics of the built-up environment in the administrative districts of Shenzhen, which has shifted from the industrial structure in the east to the commercial and residential structure in the west. This paper provides a theoretical basis for the synergistic planning of house price regulation and rail transportation in Shenzhen, which helps to develop effective management and planning strategies.
