Abstract
Using a hierarchical SEM and multidimensional 3-week household time-use and activity diary, this study investigated how interaction of individuals’ daily travel parameters, time-use and activity participation and percentage of undertaking passive leisure within various activity participation, life circumstances, and geographical conditions shape individuals’ daily and global subjective well-being. This study confirms that life circumstances insignificantly shape people’s well-being as argued as well in previous studies. Moreover, daily subjective well-being or people daily context in which contains how people organizes their daily activity-travel behaviour positively shape people life satisfaction as hypothesised. This study also confirms that different daily activity participation tends to shape different level of people’s daily subjective well-being. Spending more time-use for leisure, sport and grocery shopping tends to positively correlate with having better daily subjective well-being. Having better mental and social health are found to positively shape people’s daily and global well-being, respectively. For policy implementations, this study can say that providing more opportunities for undertaking out-of-home activities such as out-of-home leisure, sport and grocery shopping with time-use policy and denser land use planning.
Highlights
Individuals aim to satisfy their needs and desires shaped by their constraints in term of physical, economics, institutional, social and cultural contexts
Individuals’ daily well-being in conjunction with individuals’ daily time-use and activity participation including multitasking activities and travel parameters, life circumstances, and objective and subjective geographical conditions may shape individuals’ global well-being or life satisfaction. Life circumstance such represented by socio-demographic variables may not significantly affect people life satisfaction
Multi-tasking activities were defined as combining mandatory activities, maintenance activities, and active leisure activities such as doing sport or reading a book with passive leisure activities, such as entertainment and socialising [17]
Summary
Individuals aim to satisfy their needs and desires shaped by their constraints in term of physical, economics, institutional, social and cultural contexts. Previous studies have investigated how individuals’ episode level of well-being is influenced by individuals’ life circumstances, activity-travel behaviour in term of social and time-geography perspectives, and built environment (geographical) conditions. This study will examine interactions among day-to-day variability of individuals’ time-use and activity participation including multi-tasking activities, built environment conditions and life circumstances variables on individuals’ subjective well-being on individuals’ daily well-being. Individuals’ daily well-being in conjunction with individuals’ daily time-use and activity participation including multitasking activities and travel parameters, life circumstances, and objective and subjective geographical conditions may shape individuals’ global well-being or life satisfaction. Life circumstance such represented by socio-demographic variables may not significantly affect people life satisfaction. As argued in previous studies, daily subjective well-being and the contexts are hypothesized to significantly shape life satisfaction
