Impact of Trip Purposes and Built Environment on Levels of Pedestrian Satisfaction: Applications of Mixed Process Ordered Probit and Two-Stage Residual Inclusion Estimations
The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of endogenous trip purpose,along with built environment on pedestrian satisfaction. Several studies have found that specific built environment factors have an influence on the level of pedestrian satisfaction.However, the study of pedestrian satisfaction in relation to the endogenous walking purpose of trips is nascent. The authors employed methodologies on ordered probit structure,since the surveyed satisfaction consists of a five-level ordinal response.Simultaneous mixed process ordered probit through Full-Information Maximum Likelihood estimation and Two-Stage Residual Inclusion estimation were used for capturing the endogeneity that the trip purpose variables may have.The data were obtained from 20,000 individual interviews at 1,000 locations across Seoul,surveyed by the Seoul Metropolitan Government.Sidewalk environment, land use, pedestrian characteristics,and socio-demography variables were incorporated for model development. It was found that the variables of trip purposes for shopping,business, and social activity were endogenous,and had a valid set of instruments for the model fit.The interesting finding was that people who walk for shopping and business purposes have better walking satisfaction, and the existence of lightening poles, street stalls, shop display stands, bus stops, and subway entrances would lead to the pedestrian’s higher level of satisfaction. This study concludes that a hybrid instrumental variable ordered probit approach could be valid to estimate pedestrian satisfaction with endogenous trip purpose and built environment measures.
