“…Promoting walking as a mode of transportation is gaining attention from urban planners and policymakers due to its numerous benefits, including improved public health, reduced congestion, and lower environmental impact [26,34]. Discretionary walking, which refers to walking trips undertaken for leisure, recreational, or non-essential purposes, has emerged as a focal point in transportation research [27]. This trend has been observed in recent studies such as those conducted by Macioszek et al, which underscores the importance of understanding and promoting discretionary walking within urban environments [31].…”

Walking has been recognized as an important mode of transportation in recent years, and recent research has improved travel demand models for walk trips. One important added stage is the distribution of walk trips, which can be evaluated using destination choice models. Previous studies have overlooked the importance of origin trip attributes in the destination choice of walk trips. With the aim of improving destination choice models for discretionary home-based walk trips, a questionnaire based on the previous day’s walk trips was used, and 422 trips were collected from individuals. A discrete choice logit model is used for discretionary trips by utilizing policy-related variables, such as origin-sensitive variables, land-use-related variables, and socio-economic conditions of individuals. Additionally, a solution is proposed to address the issue of data scarcity in considering the choice set. The results demonstrate that origin land-use (LU) variables, such as LU diversity index and access to green spaces, as well as socio-economic variables, like age and homeownership status, are statistically significant in the destination choice of discretionary home-based walk trips. One prominent result is that reducing the diversity of unattractive LU compared to increasing the diversity of attractive LU has a greater impact on the destination choice of such trips. Specifically, a 1% increase in the diversity of attractive LU in the origin area leads to a 0.031% increase in the probability of choosing a destination within that area, while a 1% decrease in the diversity of unattractive LU results in a 0.124% increase in the probability of choosing a destination within the area. The findings can be utilized in urban LU distribution and assessing their impact on destination choice for walk trips, ultimately informing future urban planning efforts in the context of pedestrian mobility.

Construction projects in Afghanistan are often challenged by significant delays, posing severe challenges to their successful completion. This study aims to comprehensively assess the impact of various delay factors using the 4M1E framework Man, Machine, Material, Method, and Environment within the Afghan construction sector. By employing a validated Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach, the research investigates both direct and indirect effects of these factors on project delays. The analysis reveals that environmental and material factors are particularly influential, with environmental changes often exacerbating delays across other dimensions. The findings underscore the complex interdependencies among the 4M1E factors, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to manage the delay effectively. Practical recommendations are provided to enhance project management practices, with implications that extend beyond Afghanistan to other developing countries facing similar challenges. This study contributes to the academic discourse on construction delays, offering actionable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders in the construction industry.
