Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand whether there is a relationship between train users’ perceptions of walkability in built environment of trip origin with access mode choice and between train users’ perceptions of walkability in built environment of trip destination with egress mode choice. Train users are who ride from Cicalengka station Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. To analyze the relationship is used crosstab method. The perceptual factors about walkability are those perceived by the train users consisting of walking distance, safety, comfort, and secure from crime, both in origin and destination of the built environment. The mode choice consist of walking, paratransit, motorcycle taxi, and own vehicles (or others for egress mode). To better understand the relationship is used several control variables, that are trip purposes, train usage, gender, and age. For access trip there is another control variable, that is vehicle ownership. Train users' perceptions of walkability have a relationship with both the access and the egress mode choice, except for the security aspect. The influence of control variables on the relationship between perceptions of walkability with access/egress mode choice varies for walking distance, safety, and comfort.
Highlights
Walking as transport mode has been extensively researched from various fields of science, directly related to transportation itself, and from the urban design, urban planning, and even linked to health
The decision to walk as a transport mode can be influenced by many factors, among which many of the research findings are a good walkability of the built environment
There are the effects of urban design attributes on walking as access mode to the station [6]
Summary
Walking as transport mode has been extensively researched from various fields of science, directly related to transportation itself, and from the urban design, urban planning, and even linked to health. Distance to transit together with density, diversity, (street) design, and distance to destination are an urban form attributes known as 5 D's used when verify the effect of built environment on walking and cycling [4]. Psychological factors are used to measure walkability and verify the effect on walking or using vehicles to public transport facilities, such as enjoyment of walking and social pressure [8]. From previous studies, it appears that, in examining the effect of built environments walkability in the choice of walking as access/egress mode to/from transit there is a variety of walkability measures
