“…Such a follow-up study might also look at the judgements home buyers make about the neighborhood based on the type of cars parked on the road. Bayley et al (2004) found that individuals often evaluate a car by imagining what type of person the owner might be. So, looking at the parked cars in a street may give an impression to a potential homebuyer as to what kind of people live on that street.…”

When imagining a perfect home, many people visualize a tree-lined, leafy neighborhood, and a road that only has a few parked cars. But how strongly do people really appreciate having fewer parked cars and more street trees, both in terms of an affective appreciation of the home, and in terms of a price estimate of the home? This experiment, with 281 participants recruited from Leiden University, aimed to answer this question by using four photographs of street scenes with different architectural styles and digitally modifying them to manipulate the number of parked cars (4 levels; from no cars to overfull) and street trees (3 levels; from no trees to 50% density). The four photographs were presented to participants on a computer screen in random order, with a random level of the cars and trees variables in the street in each photograph. Participants were asked to rate the neighborhood in terms of safety, friendliness and beauty, and to rate two residences in each of the four photographs presented in terms of attractiveness, estimated sale price and estimated income of the current owner. Analyses using multilevel modelling found that both the neighborhoods and the residences were appreciated less when the street was overfull with parked cars. Participants estimated approximately 5% higher prices for residences when there were trees in the street, as well as rating the neighborhood as more attractive. The data were consistent with the hypothesis that neighborhood appraisal mediates the relationship between cars and affective appreciation of the residence as well as the hypothesis that neighborhood appraisal mediates the relationship between trees and price estimation.

“…It can be inferred that students often want to own a car for the first time or more broadly to attain higher levels of independence. A study by Bayley et al (2004) highlighted connections between perception of status and vehicles, and related perceptions of vehicle appearance to the desire of owning and driving a personal vehicle in young adults, and to desires for increased social status and independence.…”

Automated transportation is an innovative and sustainable concept that works emission-free with fully-automated and driverless vehicles on a network of specially-built, elevated guide ways. These systems are also called Automated People Mover (APM) or Public Rapid Transit (PRT) and are considered to be a solution to many global and environmental problems related to the use of the automobile. These transportation systems claim to be clean, affordable and safe technology, and a smart urban planning solution to move away from America's dependence on foreign oil, the faltering auto industry, and the misuse of urban landscapes. One of the first APM systems has been operating since the 1970's at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia. In order to examine community's attitude, perception and individual characteristic that influence the use of the systems, a random intercept survey was conducted. Findings from correlation analysis and an ordered probit model suggest socio-demographic attributes associated with attitudes toward the system. The frequent users are characterized as having a higher level of educational attainment, and are primarily students. Findings explore underlying factors regarding commuting, crucial for transportation policies and practices for managing sustainable transportation systems in comparable urban settings.

“…В той же час існують методи, де оцінювання властивостей автомобіля виконують за декількома показниками, однак саме ергономічні параметри не враховуються [2]. Рахується, що функціональність, зовнішній вигляд, дизайн має тільки комерційне підґрунтя -для привабливості покупців [3]. Більшість дослідників вважають, що основною причиною фізичної втоми водіїв при поїздках на великі відстані є незручність крісел, нерівномірність навантаження м'язів опорно-рухового апарату [4], вібрація [5].…”
