“…The former mainly refers to the walking behavior caused by necessary life events such as commuting to and from work, school and picking up children, while the latter mainly refers to the walking behavior guided by leisure and entertainment life such as exercise walking, shopping, and gathering with friends. It is argued that walking time plays a representative role in the quantitative analysis of walking behavior [23]. Therefore, traffic walking time is taken as the explanatory variable of traffic walking behavior to analyze the correlation between traffic walking and streets environment.…”

To strike a trade-off between walking behavior and street resource constraint, extensive research tends to focus on how the urban environment affects walking behavior. However, most of the existing impact measurements focus on the cities in low-latitude temperate environments, which may not truly reflect the situation when assessing high-latitude cities. To address this drawback, in this paper, a general multi-factor framework is introduced to quantify the influence of street-level environmental factors on walking behavior. Specifically, a framework is constructed by comprehensively considering the subjective data and the objective data of Harbin, China, which is mainly composed of multivariate measurement indicators, a multi-source data analysis library, and four-dimensional evaluation paradigm. The results indicate that two main measures can promote the current situation of human-oriented living street environment planning, namely, increasing the distribution of green facilities and life service facilities in the old urban districts living street, and paying attention to the diversity of street greening and street landscape. The proposed framework is conducive to improve the planning status of human-centered street environments and guide the construction of pedestrian-friendly life and healthy streets.

“…Considering the significant effects of weather on the association between pedestrian crash severity and driver/pedestrian behaviour (Zhai et al, 2019), to promote equitable and safe walking environments, questions on how to encourage older individuals to use footbridges/underpasses are important. A promising step could be installing elevators and movable staircases for footbridges/underpasses to make them more accessible to older adults (Chan et al, 2022a(Chan et al, , 2022b, as they are more sensitive to accessible design and outdoor environments for the choice decision (Ojo et al, 2022), especially in neighbourhoods with older populations. Embedding not only spatial equity but also social equity in terms of walkability in transport and urban design is an essential step in promoting people-oriented and place-based paradigm shifts to promote walkable cities (Loo, 2021).…”

“…Land-use type and mix are also a critical driver of transit ridership, though to a lesser degree than density (23)(24)(25). The land-use mix (diversity) results in a more balanced demand for public transportation both in terms of time (reducing the distance between the peak and off-peak periods) and in terms of space (in terms of the direction of flow).…”

As a form of social movement aiming to effect social change, protests could bring about unintended impacts on all walks of life. In other words, the cost of protests can be incurred by those who might not be protesters. The protests triggered by an extradition bill in Hong Kong since 2019 are no exception. This paper focuses on the impacts on the ridership of the metro system on protest days. It synthesizes and hypothesizes factors influencing the distribution of the ridership changes and conducts an empirical study in the context of Hong Kong to study the possible influences and spatial dependence. It is found that, across metro stations, political orientation (percentage of votes to pro-democracy camp in the 2019 Election of District Councils), law enforcement (permission from the police to protest), land use type (especially for commercial and open space), population age and income, as well as transit/road network characteristics and intermodal connectivity, significantly influence the ridership of metro stations during protest days. In addition, the mixed regressive spatial autoregressive model has higher explanatory power than the ordinary least square model, suggesting the need for a spatial lag and error specification. The results could also have significant implications for policy and planning for operating metro services and managing metro stations before, during, and after social shocks.
