Understanding the Link Between Urban Form and Nonwork Travel Behavior
Abstract
Planners are increasingly turning to land use policies as potential solutions to transportation problems in metropolitan areas, yet little evidence exists to support the belief that such policies can be effective in reducing automobile dependence This paper presents a framework for researching the link between urban form and travel behavior in which urban form is evaluated in terms of the choices available to residents Case studies of four neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay Area, two "traditional" and two "modern," use this framework to explore the link between urban form characteristics and patterns of shopping travel The results suggest that certain policies may help provide alternatives to driving, but that their effectiveness in reducing total travel will be at least partially offset by the range of choices available to residents in metropolitan areas

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
