“…Demographic variables have been found to relate to many aspects of the tourist consumption systems (Woodside & King, 2001). Variables such as age, income, education, nationality, and gender have all been shown to affect travel decisions and evaluation of the tourism experience (Hsieh, O'Leary, & Morrison, 1992;Hudson, 2000;Kattiyapornpong & Miller, 2009;Woodside & Pits, 1976). Researchers have made some progress in understanding demographic characteristics of the wine tourist (Charters & Ali-Knight, 2000;Dodd & Bigotte, 1997;.…”

Bob Bosselman, Academic Chair and champion of this special and successful program; Dr. Tianshu Zheng, both guide and friend whose perspective I value; Dr. Russell Laczniak, whose insights helped me find the right direction; and Dr. Douglas Bonett, who came to my rescue in a time of need. If you undertake a journey that is also a life changing pilgrimage, you will wish to have a cicerone. And if you knew the difficulties of that journey before you embarked upon it, you would want that cicerone to be Dr. Ann Marie Fiore, mentor-guideguru-pilot-role model. Her generosity is exceeded only by her standard of excellence. I am forever in her debt for an expedition of discovery filled with powerful memories, flashes of clarity, positivity, and kindness, all the while on a path marked often by muddy and pitted roads, detours, and doubts. On every journey, we encounter fellow travelers to whom we are grateful for their camaraderie. I thank my fellow travelers-my classmates in the doctoral program at Iowa State, especially my dear friend and inspiration Barry Bloom; our "class president" the generous Michael P.

“…The concept of interaction effect is not new in travel behaviour studies. Research has been done to examine the interaction affects between sociodemographic characteristics and how they affect travel behaviours, such as age, income, education, life stage, gender, and social norms (Kattiyapornpong & Miller Kenneth, 2009;Kattiyapornpong, 2006;Pas, 1984;Ru et al, 2018). Some scholars have tried to further explore the interactions between the built environment and socio-demographic characteristics, such as gender (Wang, Chai, & Li, 2011), social interaction (Sidharthan et al, 2011), gasoline prices (Lee & Lee, 2013), and travel attitudes (Cao, 2015).…”

The Interaction Effects in the Relationship Between Urban Form and Sustainable Transportation

The relationship between urban form and sustainable transportation has been extensively explored in the existing literature, and it is generally accepted that an urban form characterized by higher density, mixed land use pattern and higher accessibility could shorten travel distance and encourage people to choose alternative non-auto travel modes, which in turn reduces the fuel consumption and associated GHG emissions. However, the extensive research on urban form and sustainable transportation has only identified significant correlations between individual urban form variables, such as urban density, land use mix or road connectivity and the one or multiple sustainable transportation outcomes, such as travel mode or vehicle miles travelled (VMT), but very limited empirical studies have been identified to examine the interaction effects that may exist between the urban form attributes. This paper proposes the hypothesis that interaction effects exist between urban form attributes when examining their influences on sustainable transportation. Taking all cities in Florida, U.S. as a case, the interaction effects in the relationship between urban form and sustainable transportation are tested with empirical data. The regression results verified our hypothesis that density shows "threshold negative-to-positive" synergy with other urban form variables, indicating that certain theoretical correlations between urban form variables and sustainable transportation outcomes are conditional depending on the interactions between or among urban form attributes. The results may expand the theoretical framework on the topic of land use and transportation and has considerable policy implications for planning support systems.

“…Constraint factors have previously been used in segmentation studies of leisure activities, but mainly to discriminate between participants and nonparticipants (i.e., Gilbert and Hudson 2000 ), visitors from nonvisitors ( Kattiyapornpong and Miller 2009 ), and heavy from light users (i.e. Jun, Kyle, and Mowen 2009 ).…”

Exploring the Constraint Profile of Winter Sports Resort Tourist Segments

Many studies have confirmed the importance of market segmentation both theoretically and empirically. Surprisingly though, no study has so far addressed the issue from the perspective of leisure constraints. Since different consumers face different barriers, we look at participation in leisure activities as an outcome of the negotiation process that winter sports resort tourists go through, to balance between related motives and constraints. This empirical study reports the findings on the applicability of constraining factors in segmenting the tourists who visit winter sports resorts. Utilizing data from 1,391 tourists of winter sports resorts in Greece, five segments were formed based on their constraint, demographic, and behavioral profile. Our findings indicate that such segmentation sheds light on factors that could potentially limit the full utilization of the market. To maximize utilization, we suggest customizing marketing to the profile of each distinct winter sports resort tourist segment that emerged.
