目的：环境感知和心理测量似乎与步行和骑自行车行为有关；然而，它们的影响尚不清楚。我们使用英国剑桥主要交通基础设施发展的影响的准实验性队列研究的基线数据来评估这些关联。方法：邮寄调查发送给在剑桥工作的成年人(n=1582)。询问的问题包括过去一周的出行方式和上下班时间、对路线的看法、有关汽车使用的心理指标以及社会人口特征。结果：在1164名受访者中(68%为女性，平均(SD)年龄：42.3(11.4)岁)，30%的受访者曾步行上下班，53%的受访者曾骑自行车上下班。在多元回归模型中，距离工作地点较短和无法使用汽车与步行和骑自行车都显示出很强的正相关关系。此外，认为步行更方便的人更倾向于步行上下班(OR=4.18，95%CI 3.02~5.78)，而报告骑车上下班更方便的人更倾向于步行(1~149min/wk：OR=4.60，95%CI 2.88~7.34；>；=150min/wk：OR=3.14，95%CI 2.11~4.66)。赞成开车的积极态度与步行上下班的时间呈正相关，而与骑自行车上下班的时间呈负相关。结论：在这一相对富裕的通勤者样本中，与步行或骑自行车上下班相关的一系列个人和家庭特征、对路线环境的感知以及与汽车使用有关的心理措施与汽车使用行为控制呈负相关。综上所述，这些发现表明，应该考虑旅行决策的社会和物理环境，并可能需要解决一系列影响，以带来行为变化。
Purpose: Environmental perceptions and psychological measures appear to be associated with walking and cycling behaviour; however, their influence is still unclear. We assessed these associations using baseline data from a quasi-experimental cohort study of the effects of major transport infrastructural developments in Cambridge, UK.Methods: Postal surveys were sent to adults who travel to work in Cambridge (n = 1582). Questions asked about travel modes and time spent travelling to and from work in the last week, perceptions of the route, psychological measures regarding car use and socio-demographic characteristics. Participants were classified into one of two categories according to time spent walking for commuting ('no walking' or 'some walking') and one of three categories for cycling ('no cycling', '1-149 min/wk' and ' >= 150 min/wk').Results: Of the 1164 respondents (68% female, mean (SD) age: 42.3 (11.4) years) 30% reported any walking and 53% reported any cycling to or from work. In multiple regression models, short distance to work and not having access to a car showed strong positive associations with both walking and cycling. Furthermore, those who reported that it was pleasant to walk were more likely to walk to or from work (OR = 4.18, 95% CI 3.02 to 5.78) and those who reported that it was convenient to cycle on the route between home and work were more likely to do so (1-149 min/wk: OR = 4.60, 95% CI 2.88 to 7.34; >= 150 min/wk: OR = 3.14, 95% CI 2.11 to 4.66). Positive attitudes in favour of car use were positively associated with time spent walking to or from work but negatively associated with cycling to or from work. Strong perceived behavioural control for car use was negatively associated with walking.Conclusions: In this relatively affluent sample of commuters, a range of individual and household characteristics, perceptions of the route environment and psychological measures relating to car use were associated with walking or cycling to and from work. Taken together, these findings suggest that social and physical contexts of travel decision-making should be considered and that a range of influences may require to be addressed to bring about behaviour change.
