“…When there is only one type of POI or none at all in the area, the value is zero. Land-use mix is a measure of the functional complexity of an area and has been widely used in research on the built environment [17,21,72,111]. Compact, mixed-use urban environments have been shown to promote cycling [31,34].…”

The incorporation of cycling as a mode of transport has been shown to have a positive impact on reducing traffic congestion, improving mental health outcomes, and contributing to the development of sustainable cities. The proliferation of bike-sharing systems, characterised by their wide availability and high usage rates, has made cycling in urban areas more accessible and convenient for individuals. While the existence of a relationship between cycling behaviour and the built environment has been established, few studies have specifically examined this connection for weekdays and weekends. With the emergence of new data sources, new methodologies have become available for research into this area. For instance, bike-sharing spatio-temporal datasets have made it possible to precisely measure cycling behaviour over time, while street-view images and deep learning techniques now enable researchers to quantify the built environment from a human perspective. In this study, we used 139,018 cycling trips and 14,947 street-view images to examine the connection between the built environment consisting of urban greenways and cycling behaviour. The results indicated that the greenness and enclosure of the level of greenway were positively correlated with increased cycling on both weekdays and weekends. However, the openness of the greenway appears to have opposing effects on cycling behaviour depending on the day of the week, with high levels of openness potentially promoting cycling on weekends but hindering it on weekdays. Based on the findings of this study, policymakers and planners should focus on the cycling environment and prioritise improving its comfort and safety to promote green transportation and bicycle-friendly cities.

“…By adopting this approach, residents are encouraged to prioritize walking as their primary means of transportation. Additionally, studies on Melbourne's CBD indicate that the physical environment significantly influences pedestrian circulation in densely populated areas (Jiao et al, 2021;Shi & Fu, 2022). After analyzing land use, public transport station density, and job density, the researchers discovered a significant correlation between pedestrian flows.…”

This study extensively examines the urban dynamics of Guangzhou, a city that has notably embraced and incorporated the concept of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) into its urban structure. Through a comprehensive and meticulously designed questionnaire survey, the research aims to understand different demographic groups' diverse preferences and needs. The main focus is comprehending individuals' views and experiences regarding the pedestrian environment near Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) stations. The study findings reveal a wide range of outcomes, indicating significant variations in walking distance tolerance and environmental satisfaction among different populations. Notably, walking distance emerged as a crucial factor, as a positive correlation was found between shorter perceived distances and higher levels of enjoyment. Evaluating pedestrian amenities reveals their insufficiency and emphasizes the need for improved pedestrian comfort and infrastructure. Various factors influence individuals' satisfaction with the walking environment. The assessment of pedestrian infrastructure in Guangzhou's Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) areas generally shows positive feedback, but there is still room for improvement. This study analyzes the current shortcomings in pedestrian infrastructure and proposes practical recommendations for enhancement. Its purpose is to provide a basis for policy formulation and future renovations to enhance pedestrian mobility near TOD train stations in Guangzhou.

A Study on the Impact of Built Environment Elements on Satisfaction with Residency Whilst Considering Spatial Heterogeneity

The built environment, as perceived and felt by human beings, can shape and affect residential satisfaction. From the perspective of municipal administrators, understanding the building environment and its relationship with people’s residential satisfaction is crucial to improving people’s living environment. This study examines the correlation between built environment elements and residential satisfaction using the consideration of spatial heterogeneity of such a correlation. Machine vision technology is introduced to quantify the design dimension of the built environment. The method of multiscale geographically weighted regression is used to evaluate the relationship between built environment and residential satisfaction and to analyze the spatial heterogeneity in the influencing effects. This empirical study draws on 399 collected samples from the residents of Zhengzhou, China. The results show that elements of the built environment, including street space design features, have a significant effect on people’s residential satisfaction in Zhengzhou City. The factors of functional diversity and distance to the city center show spatial heterogeneity in influencing effects on residential satisfaction. The results of this study could help municipal managers to improve people’s residential satisfaction in Zhengzhou City through the development of urban renewal policies.
