“…Two Chilean universities, Lizana, Tudela, and Tapia (2021), highlighted the processes behind bicycle mode choice decisions, incorporating pro-bicycle attitudes and habits. Vahedi, Shams, and Mehdizadeh (2021) studied variables' direct and indirect effects relative to active commuting on university trips at Isfahan University in Iran. De Angelis, Mantecchini, and Pietrantoni (2021) aimed to identify passenger groups based on their modal choice in a large higher education institution in Italy.…”

This article reviews recent literature on data collection and analysis procedures regarding modal choice in university travel. The review method included the search, selection, and critical analysis of studies published in indexed journals in the bibliographic databases between 2018 and 2023. While most studies utilized online questionnaires, there was some adherence to in-person surveys. Strategies such as social media promotion and prize incentives have been employed. Regarding analysis tools, it was observed that most studies employ quantitative approaches, including statistical tests, discrete choice models, and integrated and latent variable models. In addition to commonly used variables such as socioeconomic or behavioral factors, there has been an inclusion of variables that explain the effect of the global pandemic scenario on the travel behavior of the academic community.

How does satisfaction of solar PV users enhance their trust in the power grid? - Evidence from PPAPs in rural China

et al. 2021

Background Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Projects (PPAPs) have been implemented in Chinese rural areas since 2014. As a new energy policy, PPAPs have played an important role in alleviating rural poverty. However, the adoption of solar PV faces multiple barriers from the perspective of beneficiaries. Therefore, this study aims to discuss and analyze factors affecting beneficiaries’ satisfaction and their trust in State Grid, promoting the adoption of solar PV. Methods Based on the integrated American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) and Unified Theory of Acception and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, this study used the Structural Equation Model (SEM) to reveal how the beneficiaries’ satisfaction enhance their trust in State Grid. The data were obtained from a survey of 928 PPAPs’ beneficiaries by stratified and random sampling in Chinese rural areas. Results The results confirm that environmental perception in this study has positive impact on beneficiaries’ satisfaction. In addition, perceived quality also has a positive effect on beneficiaries’ satisfaction and trust in State Grid; however, social influence has a negative impact on beneficiaries’ satisfaction; behavior expectation can directly promote beneficiaries’ satisfaction while indirectly propel their trust in State Grid. Conclusions This study constructs an integrated customer satisfaction model from the perspective of beneficiaries and proposes relevant measures to promote the adoption of solar PV that can be applied to poverty reduction in other developing countries worldwide.

“…While subjective evaluation is primarily based on built environment attributes, it is also influenced by past experiences, cognitive capabilities, and socio-demographic characteristics [21,23]. Among these, gender, age, education level, and income are frequently cited for their influence on the active mode choice [33,34]. Generally, the literature indicates that females are more likely to walk, often making more daily trips on foot to fulfill family duties compared to males [27,35,36].…”

Understanding pedestrian perceptions and attitudes is crucial for promoting walking as a daily transportation mode for sustainable mobility and the effective development of smart cities. Pedestrian preferences, shaped by factors such as age, gender, and urban infrastructure, play a pivotal role in travel behaviors. Based on a survey study, this paper examines the impact of individual and urban factors on pedestrian perceptions and attitudes towards walking in the cities of Bologna and Porto. Results reveal that individuals generally value short, safe, and green walking routes, appreciating walking for physical activity, cost savings, and time efficiency. Disliked aspects include adverse weather conditions and walking on inadequate sidewalks. Through carrying out Chi-square statistical analysis tests, a variety of significant correlations between individual and urban variables have been revealed on what people like or dislike about walking. For instance, males, young individuals, and students were more likely to prefer short pedestrian routes, while adults and seniors favored safe and green routes. These findings can assist urban planners in identifying factors that make walking both convenient and enjoyable and in supporting sustainable urban mobility policies.
