Abstract

This paper investigates the determinants of commute time and distance for urban residents in Kunming, China. The results show that education level, gender, occupation status and the presence of retired elders have a statistically significant impact on commute time, and education level, gender, occupation; home ownership and residential location have a statistically significant impact on commute distance. Interestingly, female workers commute for shorter distances and longer times than do male workers, which is inconsistent with the results from most empirical research in Western countries. At the same time, some other insightful empirical findings also are presented.
