Abstract
Using hierarchical liniear regression and multi-dimensional three-week household time-use and activity diary, this study investigated the interaction among spatiotemporal variables on percentage time of engaging multitasking in travel, and how endogenous of percentage time of engaging multitasking in travel interact with other spatiotemporal variables on individuals’ daily subjective well-being. Different from descriptive analysis result, the result in using hierarchical linear regression shows that having tighter time-space constraints tend to positively correlate with performing multitasking activities within travel more often. Moreover, the ones who peform more trips such as the youngest travellers and someone from middle income tend to perform multitasking activities in travel more often. Endogenous of percentage time of engaging multitasking in travel shows positive correlation on improving someone’s daily well-being, as expected. In term of policy implication, undertaking passive leisure within travel can be suggested to improve someone’s daily well-being. The opportunity to undertake passive leisure within travel can be an advantage of using public transport.
Highlights
Travel is needed by an individual for undertaking an activity at another/other place/s for fulfilling his/her need and desires
This paper focus to investigate the nature of multitasking within travel when including spatiotemporal variables such as time-use and activity participation and built environment condition
It may mean that the ones who undertake higher percentage of multitasking within travel is not necessary the ones who have tighter time-space constraints such as longer working/school time and out-of-home discretionary activities
Summary
Travel is needed by an individual for undertaking an activity at another/other place/s for fulfilling his/her need and desires. Revealing the impact of multitasking activities on individual’s degree of variability of activity-travel pattern will give another aspect in timespace perspective on how individuals optimize their time and space constraints in order to fulfill their needs and desires. The study investigates the influence of multitasking within travel in interaction with other spatiotemporal variables on daily well-being Spatiotemporal variables such as time-use and activity participation, built environment condition and socio demographic variables are assumed to shape either the nature of multitasking activities within travel and daily well-being. Passive leisure such as reading a book, enjoying scenery, socializing and listening to music is the only secondary activities assumed to be undertaken during travel in this study
