“…As can be seen, previous studies have revealed that VO is more prevalent in urban areas than rural areas because of greater population, employment, and residential density (6,82,87). Contrasting results have been reported from other research, with households in rural areas showing a higher probability of VO compared with those from metropolitan areas (6).…”

“…The details of the individual characteristics related to the study are presented in part B of Table 5. Most studies found that VO increases with improved educational levels of the household members ( 82 ). Recent literature has examined the educational level of individuals within a household, and its association with VO is found to be positive ( 85 ).…”

Increase in vehicle ownership (VO) as a result of rapid economic and population growth and its negative environmental effects have gradually become a potential threat to the physical and social environment. A wide range of factors influences the propensity for VO by individuals or firms; however, the existing body of literature lacks a critical review which provides an understanding of their underlying associations and potential implications for policymaking in one holistic frame. To fill this research gap, this study presents a systematic review of factors affecting private and commercial VO using the PRISMA framework (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis). The factors influencing private VO decisions are extracted from the reviewed articles; subsequently, the identified factors are topologically divided into seven categories. The findings show that most studies identified the factors contributing to VO as related to socio-economic, demographic, and built environmental characteristics. A lack of research has been identified for attitudinal, technological, and parking-related variables. It is also concluded that there are gaps in the knowledge base on factors contributing to the commercial VO of a business establishment. Designing informed policy measures based on such factors that can induce a sustainable transition in the mobility sector is important to mitigate transportation-related negative externalities on the environment. The overall review findings offer actionable guidance for low-carbon mobility transition and outline a future research agenda for academic researchers and decision makers. The quantifiable factors revealed in this study are expected to assist policy makers in discouraging VO propensity among individuals or firms.

“…Furthermore, Combs and Rodríguez [64] analyzed Bogota's TransMilenio BRT and found no significant impact on car ownership related to access to the TransMilenio route, except in transit and pedestrian-friendly areas. A study in the Indian cities of Hubli and Dharwad by Doddamani and Manoj [65] highlighted the nuanced nature of this relationship, showing significant effects of the road network density and proximity to key amenities, like hospitals and bus stops, on motorcycle ownership, even after considering travel attitudes.…”

As car ownership and usage expand globally, understanding the factors that influence the propensity to drive is crucial for promoting sustainable transportation. This literature review examined the factors influencing driving decisions through a systematic search of databases, rigorous screening of over 1000 articles, and analysis of 142 studies. The findings reveal that attributes of the built environment (e.g., density, diversity, accessibility), economic factors (e.g., income, costs of car ownership, policies), and psychological aspects (e.g., attitudes, social norms, perceptions) have significant impacts on driving behaviors. By employing an integrative methodology involving targeted searches, keyword analysis, and detailed evaluation, this review offers insights into the multifactorial nature of driving decisions. The synthesis of studies across multiple domains emphasized the need for a holistic approach to understanding and addressing the factors influencing the propensity to drive, laying a foundation for informed transportation policy and practice.

“…When the abovementioned observations from the existing literature are simultaneously considered, it can be argued that households' car and vehicle ownership levels are well-documented, especially in developed countries. However, determination of households' car and vehicle ownership levels in developing countries stills deserves further investigation despite recent successful attempts (72)(73)(74)(75). In particular, little research has been done with the Turkish sample, although increasing car and vehicle ownership levels lead to serious environmental concerns.…”

“…On the other hand, unordered response modeling approaches are consistent with global utility maximization theories since the choice is determined by the alternative with the highest utility; therefore, the choice process can be evaluated as a simultaneous choice between each alternative ( 76 ). As an ordered response modeling approach, the OLOGIT ( 51 , 73 ) and OPROBIT ( 18 , 22 , 39 , 41 , 54 , 57 , 75 ) models were most frequently used in the existing literature. The multinomial logit (MNL) model ( 1 , 5 , 17 , 20 , 34 , 35 , 37 , 42 , 45 , 47 , 74 , 77 , 78 , ), however, was the most frequently used unordered response model.…”

Car and vehicle ownership levels in developing countries are gradually increasing, leading to traffic congestion, energy consumption, and air pollution. As a developing country, Turkey encounters many of the issues caused by this rapid increase in car ownership. This paper aims to examine potential determinants of household car and vehicle ownership behavior in urban areas of Turkey by concentrating on three cities (Ankara, Erzurum, and Bayburt) that are distinct in population, geographical region, and public transit services. For this purpose, a written survey was administered to 1389 households living in these cities. The data is analyzed using alternative ordered response models—the generalized ordered logit, partial proportional odds (PPO), and heteroskedastic ordered logit models. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first attempt to compare alternative ordered response models to determine car and vehicle ownership behavior in Turkey. Consequently, the PPO model was found to be the most parsimonious model among the others. The results demonstrated that household car and vehicle ownership behavior in Turkey differs significantly with urban area size. The estimation results also revealed that several key drivers, including type of dwelling, parking availability, household monthly income, and public transit use, significantly influence Turkish households’ car and vehicle ownership levels. This study’s empirical findings may provide insight to policymakers and stakeholders for future transportation strategies and policies.
