“…For work trips, women spent less time traveling than men. Similar findings have been reported for Seoul, South Korea by Lee and McDonald (2003). For leisure and shopping trips, women tend to have longer travel times than men.…”

“…The work duration is not significant for the leisure and shopping models. In line with other studies (e.g., Lee & McDonald, 2003), having a child reduces the amount of time spent traveling. The negative signs for families in the work and shopping models indicate that they spend less time commuting than single non-workers as the reference category.…”

Abstract:The use of private cars has increased rapidly in developing countries, causing congestion and pollution in cities. In Iran, measures have been taken to manage the extensive automobile use in Tehran. Two downtown traffic zones were introduced: The Restricted Traffic Zone (RTZ) based on pass permission and the Odd-Even Zone (OEZ) based on license-plate number. This article investigates how and to what extent traffic zoning influences mobility behavior in Tehran. Two neighborhoods within these zones and one elsewhere were selected to compare the impact of traffic zoning on mode choice and travel time by means of regression analyses. The results show that zoning has decreased driving in both neighborhoods; although compared to the RTZ, the OEZ has had a limited impact. While car use has diminished in both neighborhoods compared to the area without restrictions, travel time has increased in the traffic zones. An explanation might be the low quality of the infrastructure for alternative modes (e.g., cycling). Tehran's spatial functional specialization and the monocentric urban structure induce more car trips and longer travel times, regardless of traffic restrictions. Policymakers are advised to integrate restrictions on automobile use with improvements in public transport to enhance the impact of traffic zones.

“…Moreover, in households with less cars than licensed drivers, females drive 2.34 non-work kilometers less per day than males, confirming a large body of literature on gender differences in mobility behavior (e.g. WHITE, 1986;LEE, MCDONALD, 2003;MCDONALD, 2005):…”

“…The HRH holds that gender differences in travel behavior can be attributed to the fact that women traditionally have the primary responsibility for the home and child care (Lee & McDonald, 2003;Turner & Niemeier, 1997), which consequently imposes significant temporal-spatial constraints that negatively affect travel frequency and travel distance. Despite widespread support for this hypothesis in the literature, empirical testing has produced mixed outcomes.…”

“…This hypothesis attributes women's short commutes to the fact that women tend to take on more household and childcare responsibilities (Turner & Niemeier, 1997). Alternative explanations focus on the lower wages of women, on the spatial distribution of female-dominated occupations, and on the spatial segregation of labor markets (Hanson & Pratt, 1988;Lee & McDonald, 2003;MacDonald, 1999).…”

Elderly co-residence and the household responsibilities hypothesis: evidence from Nanjing, China

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this paper, we analyze the effects of co-residence with elderly parents on gender differences in travel. The Household Responsibility Hypothesis (HRH) explains differences in the role of women regarding household responsibilities. However, research so far has studied "Western" household types while excluding households with coresiding elderly parents. Furthermore, research has paid exclusive attention to gender differences in commuting trips, and has neglected the effects of built environment characteristics. In view of these shortcomings, we pose the following research questions: what are the determinants of gendered differences in travel behavior, and specifically, what are the effects of elderly co-residence in households and land use on gender differences in trip frequency and travel distance? In addition to the HRH, we introduce the Elderly Co-residence Hypothesis, which suggests that co-residing elderly parents take over household responsibilities from adult women, resulting in diminishing gender differences in working-age travel patterns. We present the results of empirical research in Nanjing, China, that support this hypothesis.
