“…This difference may be associated with Pakistani socio-cultural norms, including 'family honor' and the many women's need for male permission to travel (Sathar and Kazi, 1997). However, the greater number of trips by elderly men, compared to elderly women is also consistent with other studies undertaken in China, South Korea, UK and USA (Choo et al, 2016;Hwang et al, 2015;Boschmann and Brady, 2013;Hu et al, 2013;Dobbs, 2005;Pucher and Renne, 2003). As can be seen in Table 4, there was a decrease in trip frequency as people aged, with 10.5 trips a week for people aged 60-64 declining to 5.6 trips a week for people aged 75 and older.…”

“…In existing literature, a number of research studies have examined trip-making behavior and mobility characteristics of the elderly living in several developed and developing countries (Choo et al, 2016;Hwang et al, 2015;Boschmann and Brady, 2013;Hu et al, 2013).…”

“…However, some studies showed that cars are preferred for certain trip purposes, such as attending healthcare facilities, and that vehicles are more frequently used by working older males of higher income (Choo et al 2016;Li et al 2018;Ahmad et al 2019). Additionally, a study in Santiago de Chile found that the tendency to associate status with the car tends to increase with age (Lira and Páez 2021).…”

Results show three dominant themes related to daily mobilities of older adults in the Global South: trip mode choice, unmet mobility needs, and socio-economic aspects of mobility.• Elderly in the Global South are generally more reliant on public transport, and aspects such as employment, living arrangements, caregiving relationships, and social networks intersect mobility opportunities. • There is a need for more longitudinal, qualitative, and/or mixed methods mobility studies that promote the participation of older adults in the Global South and avoid "one-size fits all" approaches.This review examines the current state of the literature on the daily mobility patterns of older adults in the Global South to discover what is known and uncover dominant themes. We used a scoping review approach to search literature in geography and other allied disciplines that primarily focus on elderly daily travel behaviours and related studies. We included 57 papers to review and identified three dominant themes across them: trip mode choice, unmet mobility needs, and socio-economic aspects of mobility. Results show that the elderly in the Global South, in contrast to their peers in the Global North, walk and use public transportation more frequently than personal vehicles. Some common unmet mobility needs of the elderly in the Global South include safety concerns, gender inequalities, and unequal access to public transportation. Socio-economic aspects that influence elderly mobilities include employment status, living arrangements, caregiving relationships, and social networks. We conclude that there is a need for more mobility studies that promote the participation of older adults in the Global South and that use longitudinal, qualitative, and/or mixed method approaches. Lastly, transportation policies should address specific elderly needs and avoid "one-size fits all" approaches.

“…Foreign researches on the land scale of port container logistics park are mainly conducted quantitative analysis by building mathematical models, as well as qualitative analysis from the relevant factors affecting the scale of logistics parks. Some researchers proposed a mathematical model based on bi-level programming to quantitatively analyse the scale and location of logistics park; based on the analysis of port location factors and port operational quantities, some scholars proposed the model of optimal port size and site location with integer programming [6,7]. There are many researches on the prediction of the logistics quantity, and many mathematical prediction models are proposed.…”

To give full play to the circulation function of the port container logistics park, it is urgent to study the development intensity of the land in the port container logistics park and to guide the scientific development of the port logistics park with reasonable development intensity control index. The current situation of land development intensity control index of container logistics park at home and abroad is analysed, the PENT (politics, economy, society and technology) analysis method is used to analyse the factors influencing the land development intensity control index of container logistics park, and the index system structure of influencing factors is constructed. Finally, index value is obtained quantitatively with the proposed calculation method of the land development intensity index of the port container logistics park. Its practicability is verified in case analysis.
