A Joint Analysis of Residential Location, Work Location and Commuting Mode Choices in Hanoi, Vietnam
It is expected that choices of residential location, work location and commuting mode may not be independent of each other, following the idea of life-oriented approach. Several relevant studies can be found in developed countries; however, no study has been done in developing countries. This study aims to fill this research gap by using data collected in Hanoi, Vietnam. A joint model with the above three choices is built by incorporating multiple self-selection effects, where effects of land use attributes are emphasized. Choices between labor-intensive workers (11,344) and knowledge-intensive workers (12,360) are compared. As a result, statistical significance of multiple self-selection effects is surely confirmed, supporting joint estimation of the above three choice behaviors. As for land use attributes, different types of households, and labor-intensive and knowledge-intensive workers show different responses to different types of lands in location choices (especially the work location choice). Effects of land use diversity and population density on the commuting mode choice are mixed. Additionally, the centralization of knowledge-intensive employment and decentralization of labor-intensive employment are captured. These findings may be useful for city planners in designing land use patterns in future Hanoi in order to attract knowledge-intensive employees to work and live closely.
