Social representations of space travel: Modeling the antecedents and outcomes

AbstractUsing Social Representations Theory, the current study modeled different information sources, “anchoring” of space travel, “objectification” of space travel and their influences on attitude towards, support for, and attractiveness of space travel using data from 474 respondents. PLS‐SEM revealed that negative anchors related to space travel influence negative attitude while the objectification of SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and Tesla influence the positive attitudes. Organizations with an interest in space tourism need to use scientific knowledge and scientists, documentary broadcasts, and serious news media for broadening their appeal, as more tangible scientific messages derive the higher response and impact.

How do the perceptions of neighborhood conditions impact active transportation? A study in Rajshahi, Bangladesh

This paper aims to investigate the perceptions of neighborhood conditions and their effect on urban active transportation (UAT) in the context of a city in the Global South. We analyze data from a survey of commuters in the city of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Concretely, we are interested in cycling and walking. A probabilistic model of mode use is estimated using disaggregate data collected in Rajshahi through a face-to-face survey in 2017. The study reveals that similar to other regions in the world, students are more likely to use active transportation compared to other socio-demographic groups, and that motorized vehicle ownership is associated with lower probabilities of active transportation. Furthermore, the probabilities of choosing active modes at different neighborhood-level conditions were calculated based on the derived model for both students and non-students by residential and non-residential land-use types. In addition to the duration of the trip, the perceived neighborhood-level characteristics are critical for active transportation. Improving neighborhood conditions and their perception by the public can enhance the attractiveness of active travel, more specifically cycling for longer commutes. Based on the study findings, the paper discusses strategies to promote the use of active transportation in the context of a country in the Global South.

Travel Attractions Recommendation based on Max-negative the Gated Recurrent Unit trajectory mining Representation

Although the traditional recommendation algorithm has achieved good results in the field of travel recommendation, due to the lack of data, the cold start and data sparseness problems and the neglect of the semantic problems hidden in the travel track, the low recommendation accuracy remains unresolved. Recently, the RNN model performed very well in recommending system sequence learning. We use RNN to model the travel sequence in the travel recommendation. In the pairwise, we can achieve a more accurate recommendation by effectively processing the negative samples and then training to generate a smaller loss function. Our method (Max-GRU) is optimized by adding additional negative sample and finding Max-negative on the Gated Recurrent Unit trajectory mining Representation Model. On the Shanghai tourism data and Guilin tourism data, both MRR@10 and RECALL@10 have been significantly improved compared to the use of the RNN model and baselines.

Trip Attraction Model of 4 in 1 Shopping Center Concept for Sustainable Development in Semarang City

One of sustainable development strategies is predict the future to anticipate the impact of the development. The rise of retail development has encouraged retail companies to innovate marketing concept. Allocation multi use commercial activity in one location is the 4 in 1 concept on Transmart. This retail development will affect the increase in the number of trips. One of the goals of planning is to minimize problems in the future. This can be done by modeling to predict the impact of development to implement sustainable development concept. The purpose of this study is to make a trip attraction model in shopping centers with a concept of 4 in 1. The method used in this study is trip rate and multiple linear regression model.

Toward the Design of Smart Travel Guard

ABSTRACTNowadays, travelers usually search, collect, identify, and preserve valuable travel information from large amounts of online data sources before the trip. Meanwhile, during the trip, travelers can use smart devices to seek help according to particular circumstances. However, thefts, robberies, and scams always happen during the trip. One of the major issues is that travelers cannot collect all of the related travel information and identify important messages efficiently. In addition, the assistance provided by smart devices is not timely enough. Thus, in order to protect travelers from potential risks or dangers, a framework named ‘Smart Travel Guard’ is proposed in this paper. The smart travel guard helps to continuously collect, identify, classify, and annotate travel information from different online data sources. The related travel context and travel information can be identified, classified, and preserved, and a safety index for a travel attraction can be calculated and summarized. The smart travel guard also acquires particular travel information from smart devices carried or wore by travelers in real time. The acquired information will be recognized and analyzed together with the existing travel information and used to retrieve the historical safety index. Based on the analysis result, the corresponding message based on the safety index can be generated, and associated travel information can be provided for travelers to prevent potential risks or dangers in advance. After the assistance, the confirmation and feedback from travelers will be collected and preserved. Thus, the information can be accumulated in the smart travel guard for further reference. It is anticipated that the proposed smart travel guard can complement current recommendation systems and achieve quality and safe travel effectively and efficiently.

소셜미디어를 활용한 여행지 평점 예측을 위한 합성곱 신경망 기반의 필터링-스코어링 시스템

여행 계획을 세우는데 있어 관광지 평점 정보는 직관적이고 종합적인 정보를 제공해준다는 장점을 갖고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 평점 정보는 많은 사람들의 평가가 없으면 높은 신뢰도를 보장하기가 힘들다는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 소셜미디어의 글들을 이용하여 관광지의 평점을 예측하는 시스템을 제안하였다. 해당 시스템은 주어진 관광지의 이름을 키워드로 소셜미디어에서 다수의 글들을 검색 및 수집하고 사전에 학습시켜둔 필터링 모델을 이용하여 리뷰 성격의 글들과 리뷰가 아닌 글들을 분류하고, 리뷰로 분류된 글들을 스코어링 모델을 이용하여 각각 평점을 매긴 후 전체 평점들을 평균 내어 최종적으로 주어진 관광지의 평점을 예측한다. 또한, 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템의 성능향상을 위하여 딥러닝 기반의 필터링, 스코어링 모델 구조와 함께 한국어 데이터 증강 기법도 제안하였다.

Mining urban sustainable performance: Millions of GPS data reveal high-emission travel attraction in Tokyo

Abstract Sustainable performance assessment has received extensive attention in the fields of transportation, energy management, and urban planning. Given that transportation has become a leading component of urban greenhouse gas emissions, combining sustainable performance assessment with transportation emissions is crucial to urban sustainability. In this study, pointed at the unbalance between urban development and transportation accessibility among urban central activities zones, a metric named potential traffic attraction is proposed based on improved gravitational model to measure urban sustainable performance. Meanwhile, the correlation between the traffic attraction and the high-emission traffic is generated via GPS trajectories, which could ensure the credibility of high-emission travel mode for the correlation model. Based on the obtained urban sustainable performance, the status of the central activities zones development in Tokyo(Japan) was analyzed, finally, several corresponding strategies in different sustainable development status were proposed. Our study demonstrated that the integration of both urban development and transportation owns tremendous capabilities for reducing vehicle emissions, and it could provide specific guidelines for urban planning and transportation policies on urban sustainable development.

Foreign Exchange Shocks and Gasoline Consumption

In an open economy, the foreign exchange rate (FER) influences incentives for the cross-border shopping of gasoline as well as the opportunity cost of using vehicles and the relative attractiveness of home versus foreign travel. Using monthly regional-level data of gasoline consumption in Iran, we estimate the impact of exchange rate shocks (both in level and volatility) on gasoline demand. We find that positive exchange rate shocks have a negative impact on total gasoline consumption as well as on vehicle users’ demand in both short-run and long-run. Furthermore, we find that in the periods that FER is less volatile, the responsiveness of gasoline demand to a change in FER is more pronounced.

Moderating Effects of Shopping Values on the Antecedents of Unplanned Purchase Behavior: An Empirical Study of an International Travel Fair

This study investigated the influence of the antecedents of unplanned purchase behavior (service climate, travel attraction, in-store factors, and out-of-store factors) on the aforementioned behavior as well as the moderating effects of shopping values (hedonic and utilitarian shopping value) on unplanned purchase behavior. Questionnaires were distributed at an international travel fair and 443 valid samples collected. The results of the study are as follows: (1) Service climate, travel attraction, in-store factors, and out-of-store factors had positive influence on unplanned purchase behavior; (2) Hedonic shopping value moderated the effects of service climate, travel attraction, and in-store factors on unplanned purchase behavior; and (3) Utilitarian shopping value moderated the effects of service climate and in-store factors on unplanned purchase behavior. The results also revealed that the facility-related services provided by the international travel fair influenced visitors’ unplanned purchase behavior. Sales were promoted at the fair site, and the “invisible” services provided by first-line service personnel affected the unplanned purchase behavior of visitors in terms of buying tourist accommodation. The results confirmed that shopping value influenced service climate, and that in-store factors affected unplanned purchase behavior. Regarding limitations, the current study only analyzed travel fair consumers from Taiwan. Future studies should include travel fair consumers from other countries and cultures to increase the robustness of the current study’s results.

Implementation of Transit Oriented Development in Handling Congestion Effect on Urban Sprawl Phenomenon and Traffic Growth in Banda Aceh

The occurrence of spatial and road network changes, increased traffic volume approaching road capacity, causing congestion due to urban sprawl phenomena as well as lack of public facilities and social facilities. From this background problem considered to be solved by a concept that is Transit Oriented Development (TOD), concept of transportation development in co-operation with spatial. The TOD concept can eliminate urban sprawl, which transforms urban sprawl into a compact city area. Pull model are obtained from the results of the analysis is, Oi = -37,126 + 58,723 X9 + 17,968X2, where road performance, land use, the coefficient indicates the number of additional trip generation. Trips pull obtained by model Dd = -20,351 + 30,903X2 where only one significant variable causing attraction of land use that is dominant. With concept of TOD, the model obtained is Oi = 32.180 + 0.002X7-7.017X3 where travel and distance travel costs indicate the number of additional trips generation, the generation will decrease over the base year. Objects obtained with the model Dd = 48.474-0.671X11 + 0, 003X7-9,299X3, meaning travel attraction in the absence of population density, travel expenses, and travel distance, then travel appeal that occurs on 48 journeys influenced by variable population density and distance travel will decrease, it can be interpreted this independent variables can influence the drag on the concept of Banda Aceh City and TOD can be applied in the city of Banda Aceh.

Factors associated with adolescent active travel: A perceptive and mobility culture approach – Insights from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Sustainable transport modes, such as walking and cycling, have great benefits but the uptake is decreasing in Vietnam due to motorisation. Individual perceptions of travel and wider mobility cultures are increasingly seen as an important aspect in shaping travel patterns, in particular active travel. The understanding of this in youth active travel in Vietnam is not clear. The aim of this study is to understand how social factors and the physical environment influence adolescent active travel in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). A survey in HCMC targeting adolescents aged 11–16 (n = 525) across nine districts around the city centre was conducted. We adapted a comprehensive conceptual framework of active travel behaviour in the context of data availability and the study area. We also included variables pertaining weather, traffic safety, street vendors and road accident experiences, which are more relevant in powered two-wheeler (PTW) traffic saturated, tropical cities in a South East Asian setting. The results show positive association between favourable built environments (obstruction free pathways, food attractions and tree cover), social interactions (peer groups, parents and neighbourhoods) and negative association with traffic, air pollution and prior accident experiences. The findings highlight the importance of considering the interrelations of variables, whilst also identifying future research directions. Policy makers in HCMC, or in similar cities, should consider developing intervention strategies to improve the attractiveness of active travel.
