Impact Analysis Of Campus Walking Behavior

Walking is the most basic way of travel,which is not only beneficial to pedestrian health but also of great significance to the development of urban transportation.Studies have shown that a suitable living environment is conducive to residents' choice to walk and shown that the dissonance between residents' walking preference and their living environment was associated with the promotion of walking travel.Colleges and universities are another place closely related to walking.In order to promote the walking of students in the campus environment,this article starts from the coordination of students' walking preferences and the walking environment of the dormitory area,and explores the influence of walkability-related dissonance on students' walking behavior in dormitory areas.First of all,the concept of residential dissonance is integrated into the campus walking environment,and the concept of walkability-related dissonance is redefined in the student residential environment.The five-point Likert-scale and revealed preference survey are combined to form a questionnaire to obtain the walking travel data of students.The principal axis factor analysis method and cluster analysis method are adopted to classify students according to the level of walking preference.Meanwhile,constructing the walking home range area which is the unique walking activity area with dormitory as the core for each student.By calculating the walking index,the students were classified according to the walkability level of the living environment,and the walking preference of the students was corresponding to the walking environment,thus forming the walking dissonance group and the consonant group in the home range area.Secondly,hypothesis testing was used to study the difference between walking outcome and the correlation between walking preference and walking environment.The results showed that there were significant differences.Average distance to walking was negatively correlated with the walking preference,and positively correlated with the share of walking trips and share of walking distance.Then,according to the level of walkability,each group was compared in pairs to study the difference of walking between the coordination group and the discoordination group in different kinds of destinations.The results showed that the share of walking trips and share of walking distance increased with the enhance of walking preference inboth high-walkable environment and low-walkable areas.The increase in walking outcome also varied among different types of destinations.Thirdly,variables of walking coordination in different environments were added to the ordered Logistic model to explore the correlation between regional walking dissonance and walking outcome.The results showed that the odds of walking in the high-walkable area was higher than that in the low-walkable area when going to some destinations,and the walking outcome advance with the increased of walking preference.However,there were also situations where the odds of walking adjustment in the low-walkable environment was higher than that in the high-walkable environment,which had different performance according to the various types of destinations.Finally,according to the conclusions of this paper and the policies related to walking,this paper explores the problems of low-walkable environment.Adopting analytic hierarchy process to help students with low-walkable preference choose dormitories suitable for their life and study,and puts forward appropriate environmental improvement Suggestions to promote students' walking travel.
