尽管交通运输领域对出行相关主观幸福感的研究越来越多，但很少有研究探讨居住环境对出行满意度的影响，尤其是居住搬迁后出行满意度会发生怎样的变化。这项研究调查了居住搬迁是否以及如何导致旅行满意度的变化。利用2011-2013年在北京进行的两波问卷调查，我们比较了搬家人员搬迁前后的出行满意度，并进一步考察了考虑到与搬迁相关的出行动机，建成环境和出行行为的变化如何导致出行满意度的变化。我们发现，近70%的搬运者报告搬迁后旅行满意度有所提高，这表明住宅搬迁可能是提高旅行满意度的机会；改善的邻里环境解释了旅行满意度的增加：更容易获得设施、更好的物理设计、增强安全性以及邻居之间更多的互动有助于提高旅行满意度。另一方面，通过过境增加旅行时间会降低旅行满意度。我们还发现，出于与旅行相关的原因而进行的搬迁并没有导致旅行满意度的显著提高。这项研究通过欣赏邻里环境在改善旅游体验中的作用，为文献做出了贡献。
Despite increasing interests in travel-related subjective well-being in transport research, few studies have explored the effects of residential environment on travel satisfaction, especially how travel satisfaction may change after residential relocation. This study investigates whether and how residential relocation leads to changes in travel satisfaction. Using a two-wave questionnaire survey conducted from 2011 to 2013 in Beijing, we compare home movers’ travel satisfaction before and after residential relocation, and further examine how changes in the built environment and that in travel behavior lead to changes in travel satisfaction, taking into consideration the travel-related motivation for home relocation. We find that almost 70% movers reported improvement in travel satisfaction after relocation, suggesting that residential relocation may serve as an opportunity to enhance travel satisfaction; improved neighborhood environments explain increases in travel satisfaction: higher accessibility to facilities, better physical design, enhanced safety and more interactions between neighbors contribute to improved travel satisfaction. On the other hand, increased travel time by transit reduces travel satisfaction. We also find out that relocation motivated by travel-related reasons did not lead to a significant improvement in travel satisfaction. This study contributes to the literature by appreciating the role of neighborhood environment in improving travel experiences.
