| Abstract |
This study examines neighborhood travel mode choice in apartment-dominated environments shaped by modernist urban planning principles, including new town development projects. Using aggregated data from 1,088 administrative districts in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, a fractional logistic regression model analyzes the effects of apartment housing, new towns, urban?suburban context, neighborhood environmental characteristics, socioeconomic factors, and their interactions on neighborhood travel mode shares (walking & cycling vs. private car). The results show that urban areas are positively associated with walking & cycling, while apartment housing exhibits context-dependent effects, with a negative association in urban areas and a positive association in suburban areas. Public transport use demonstrates statistically significant interaction effects with apartment proportion and development projects, revealing a negative relationship between public transport use and walking & cycling in development project areas, suggesting car-oriented planning. By extending the analysis beyond Seoul to the broader metropolitan region, this study provides macro-level empirical evidence on the relationship between apartment-dominated environments and neighborhood walking, offering implications for promoting walkable residential planning. |
