“…In order to investigate the mechanisms that shape travel behavior, scholars began to focus on the combined effects of the objective-built environment and subjective psychological factors on travel behavior. For example, scholars have attempted to collect data on people’s subjective perceptions and the built environment characteristics of the respondent’s residence by using questionnaires, and the influence of subjective and objective factors on travel behavior has been investigated using mathematical and statistical methods [ 19 ]. Such studies consider the environmental and psychological factors as the same dimensional factors that can influence people’s behavioral intentions rather than considering the environmental–psychological pathway of influence.…”

Given the lack of quantitative descriptions on the interaction between psychological factors and the built environment in existing urban bus travel behavior, this study examines the simultaneous influences of the objective-built environment and subjective psychological factors on bus travel intentions. An empirical study on the influence path of bus travel intention was conducted using structural equation modeling. Then, personal attribute factors were introduced, and a linear regression model was used to explore the influence of behavioral intentions. This study uses 410 investigated samples from the residents in Zhengzhou, China. The findings proved that psychological factors play mediating roles between the travel environment and its impact on travel behaviors and confirms the validity of the description of the measurement variable with respect to the bus travel intentions proposed in the study. We also found that the retirement factor among the personal attribute factors could significantly affect bus travel intentions, which means that the retired group prefers to use buses for traveling. This study shows innovations in catching the intermediary effect of psychological factors between the built environment and travel behavior while also quantifying the effects of both subjective and objective factors when choosing bus travel.

“…Certain scholars have proposed incentivizing residents to use active travel modes (such as cycling and walking) through improvements to the built environment (Stewart et al, 2016;Tribby and Tharp, 2019). In urban areas, the existence of bicycle-friendly streets seems to be important in promoting active transportation, while in rural areas, access to trails is significantly associated with active travel (Grabow et al, 2019). Kamargianni and Polydoropoulou (2014) also drew a similar conclusion that the presence of wide sidewalks significantly affects rural residents' choice of active travel modes (Kamargianni and Polydoropoulou, 2014).…”

With the rise of global urbanization, the rural built environment has undergone tremendous changes. As such, the rural built environment impacts on residents’ daily travel behavior is getting more researchers’ attention. To date, most of the research focuses on urban areas in developed countries. To understand the state-of-the-art of interplay between the rural built environment and travel behaviors and to identify future research directions, this study adopts a science mapping approach to identify the relevant topics, authors, journals, and countries of the research done. This study proceeds through bibliometric retrieval of articles from 2005, followed by scientometric analysis and qualitative discussion. 37 documents are found to compare urban and rural domains, with 28 on the rural built environment. Research gaps and the research trends are discussed, of which the main themes are multi-dimensional correlation comparison of rural transportation service systems and emerging transportation modes, the influence of rural social and cultural factors on travel behavior, and low-carbon sustainable transportation. This review provides empirical foundation for current state-of-the-art and identifies the future research directions, specifically for rural built environment impact on travel behavior.

“…However, understanding the relationship between PT use and PA activity remains challenging. Factors such as transit access, service quality, safety concerns, and built environment characteristics can influence an individual’s willingness and ability to engage in active transportation behaviors [ 45 , 46 ]. Limited access to transit stops or stations, long waiting times, and unsafe walking or cycling conditions may prevent individuals from using PT to increase their PA [ 3 , 40 , 44 ].…”

[Purpose] Public transportation (PT) systems significantly shape urban mobility and have garnered attention owing to their potential impact on public health, particularly the promotion of physical activity. Beyond their transportation functions, PT systems also affect daily energy expenditure through non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT). This mini-review surveys the existing literature to explore the effects of PT use on NEAT levels and subsequent health outcomes.[Methods] A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the electronic databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Keywords including “public transportation,” “non-exercise activity thermogenesis,” “physical activity,” “health promotion,” and related terms were used to identify relevant studies.[Results] This review highlights the multifaceted relationship between PT use and health promotion, emphasizing the potential benefits and challenges of increasing NEAT through public transit utilization. Overall, the findings suggest that PT use contributes positively to NEAT levels, and thus improves health outcomes. However, the extent of this impact may vary depending on individual and contextual factors.[Conclusion] Interventions promoting active transportation modes, including public transit, hold promise for addressing sedentary behavior and fostering healthier lifestyles at the population level.
